Good Life

Well, let's just get it out of the way: a small South African production, shot during the first (read "BIG") wave of Covid and on basically no budget. So the angry reviews about it not being my Big Fat Greek Wedding is perhaps missing that little gems doesn't always have Big Fat Budgets or South African actors that speak Greek......However, this indie movie has a lot of soul, touches your heart , makes you smile and even shed a tear. Olive's journey is utterly human and relatable; it transcends country or culture. The cast is great and the acting is gripping. You probably won't remember Good Life for the rest of your life, but it will sure brighten up your week. Enjoy it!

Such an enjoyable movie! It was great to escape to a cast of relatable characters, gorgeous scenery and wholesome entertainment! I think the producer has done an amazing job with limited financial resources. I particularly like that so many of the cast/ crew and support personnel were all from a small country where I am sure the work/revenue was much appreciated. The sound track deserves a special mention!

Well done Bonnie Rodini! What an accomplishment! I look forward to your next release. Good Life is indeed a Good Use of Time!

There is nothing Greek about this movie. The actors, the crew, the location. It was terrible and fake. Someone watched Big Fat Greek Wedding, went to film school, and thought "how can I get paid to make a movie about Greeks?"

I would have to say this movie was a nice movie to watch with my girlfriend. She likes the chick flick types of things. Overall it is shot well and nice comedy bits to it. We loved all the different types of characters🚨🎥🎬

Bonnie Rodini did a wonderful job with this move, especially considering she filmed it during the first wave of Covid. Our protagonist Olive is a young dental hygienist with what appears to be yet another broken heart who is still yearning for her father, and she decides to go to Greece to find out what really happened to his house, which her mother does not want to discuss, and upon arriving she discovers an entire village is against her. But through the friendship of a young boy and her own tenacity and goodness, she overcomes adversity and heals the past for all of those involved. This is one of the best movies I've seen in years.. it has heart, and it shows not only the goodness of the human spirit, but that of the healing power to be found in facing the Truth. A lovely movie indeed.
