Caught this on the box last night. I must say, it was a total surprise, but I really enjoyed it. Now, I realise that most people prefer that American crass in-your-face humour (complete with food fights, swearing and sexist antics), so I may appear a bit of an odd-ball here.
Nevertheless, the humour was subtle and tasteful (so Eddie Murphy fans, this one's not for you). I think the producer/writers deserve a lot of credit here for not jumping on the "South Africa's own..." bandwagon. Every now and then I'm pleasantly surprised by low-hype TV flicks, and this is one of them. There were perhaps only two or three really side-splitting moments, and maybe some repeats of the same situational comedic formula, but on the whole I found it quite entertaining.
