paulclaassen I thoroughly enjoyed this! From the actors to the interesting concept, I loved every minute! There were a few cheesy moments and events that were unconvincing and for the sake of the plot only, but despite this the film in general was thoroughly enjoyable.

jvanderwalt5 This was a GOOD Afrikaans movie.with a GOOD Cast anal Alexander,Nico Panagio,Sandra Vuaghn en Diaan Lawrenson. This is the type of movie I was waiting for in Afrikaans and it was not cheesy at all it was just plain good comedy and you laugh through out the movie form beginning to end the intro to the movie is Hollywood standard as well as the ending good job!!!! This movie is about Jaci a workaholic who just lives for her work a mindless businessman want to take over her company and the only way she can save it is to win another contract.But in order to be able to qualify for the contract is for Jacki to be In a relationship.So she hires a. Model to play her fiancé but mistakenly take the mindless businessman for the model. You can only imagine what follows. A hilarious comedy. Loved it!!!!!

Marius Oosthuizen By far the best Afrikaans movie I have ever watched!Semi Soet perfectly balances the comedy we've come to expect from the actors playing in the movie, with the seriousness the storyline requires for such a production. Although it may be a bit on the slapstick side, the well written script in my opinion more than makes up for this, and the cast & crew pulled the job off perfectly.Beautiful scenery of the wine-lands, as well as references to common practices found in such places just adds to the realism of the movie- although in a couple of scenes I'd say it would have been better to have left the slang used for punchlines in English- rather than translate the word(s) to Afrikaans and causing them to lose their effectiveness.Still, I cannot help but recommend this movie to everybody who prefers a good movie for (almost) the whole family.

alexthewriter Sometimes when I travel to South Africa for business, I pick the worst movies to see while I'm there. With Semi-Soet, I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, you've probably seen much of it before and American audiences of Sandra Bullock's "the Proposal" will be picking apart the similarities, but all in all in had its own brand of charm that was quite refreshing.What was especially fun about the lead characters is that while they both had an agenda, neither was so self-absorbed that you felt a distaste for them along the way. Too often movies try to make characters interesting by making them selfish so that by the end, you really don't care what happens next. In Semi-Soet, I was glad to keep watching them and had no problem keeping up.Very clever of the movie makers to set part of the movie in South Africa's wine country, a great advert for tourists but it was nothing that was distracting in any way. The beautiful scenery was just what was needed to give the audience a breath of fresh air. All in all, not a bad afternoon at the cinema and a something I hope to see more of from SA filmmakers.
