Love the concept, the black girl magic, and the amazing friendship portrayed. I appreciate being able to see something from someplace other than Hollywood. “Seriously Single” offers simple pleasures, and makes it easy to enjoy this girls’ night out. Terrible attempt at a rom com. I found this film modern and refreshing. He returns, saying he's divorced (like... 2 months after getting married). I loved that Black women were being silly, messy, cute, and funny on their own terms. 16,418, This story has been shared 9,641 times. Great work to all involved. Hi guys, Today I'm reviewing "Seriously Single" which is coming to @AfricaOnNetflix on the 31st of July, 2020. After two failed relationships, a woman — with the help of her best friend — embarks on a journey to self-discovery. The actors deserved better. The Gist: Subtitle: FEBRUARY. Netflix’s Seriously Single is a South African rom-com that, if it wasn’t for its colloquial accents and variety of languages, could easily be mistaken for a Hollywood product. 1,047, This story has been shared 865 times. 4,510, This story has been shared 3,744 times. 1,382, This story has been shared 1,278 times.

Overall, Very great film!!! Would like to see more films with the lead actors in it. The characters don't have any back story, no motivation for their actions and the film doesn't use the actors' talents. Klishe ,borring and naive,slow.the thing whith accent or sleng is too much,,hard to listen and watch-pls dont do this enymore . Her equally talented big girl co-star, Tumi Morake is also very funny and delivers her comedic timing perfectly. Is 'The Queen’s Gambit' Based on a True Story? The South African comedy “Seriously Single” begins with its heroine, Dineo (Fulu Mugovhani) — a social media manager in Johannesburg who thrives at work and in friendship — accidentally livestreaming her latest breakup. I found them funny, relatable and easy to watch and the rest off the cast were also great actors. This story has been shared 16,418 times. Typical romantic comedy but I appreciate seeing this culture. And I love being able to see and hear and just get to know South Africa. Dineo’s roomie and BFF, Noni (Tumi Morake), is the type who mauls any willing man within arm’s length at the bar, and takes the most willing one home for a one-night foofaraw. For Dineo, “boundaries” is just another word in the dictionary, I guess. Watch on Netflix. That’s a double-bladed axe of a compliment, of course, because American comedies often look great but rarely leave the shallow end of the pool. Add it to your list now. The directors seem to have encouraged the actor portraying Dineo to overact, as if a "big" performance was the key to comedy. Such a bad representation of South African talent and potential. The movie bears more than a passing resemblance to the 2016 Seriously Single review August 3, 2020 August 3, 2020 Jeffrey Lyles 0 Comments Fulu Mugovhani , Seriously Single , Tumi Morake , Yonda Thomas Desperation is a dangerous thing in dating, an idea Seriously Single explores to mixed results in this better than average romantic comedy. This movie was a horrible disappointment. I guess there was nothing new in this movie but still had me laughing. Read more of his work at johnserbaatlarge.com or follow him on Twitter: @johnserba. Dineo, you see, just wants someone she can introduce to her mom. Should I be trying harder not to be single? 1,543, This story has been shared 1,503 times. Would definitely recommend. Running time: 1 hour 47 minutes. The plot and character archetypes are predictable, so what’s left to distinguish the film is the charm it brings to known elements. Our Take: Seriously Single is the type of movie where unfriending an ex on the Bookface or whatever is a significant turning point. But yeah, it falls into the category of once-you've-seen-one-movie-like-this-you've-essentially-seen-them all. This is a relatively new genre for the South African film industry, and though there were a few cringe-worthy acting moments, the movie was refreshing, playful, and what is to be expected of your regular romcom. | One must understand the culture and humour behind the movie to truly appreciate it. And the fashion was on point. Characters casually switch between dialects and languages, and the movie presents diversity in a relaxed and unstudied way, including performers with different personal styles, skin tones and body types.
