This is a movie so excited to exist that it overwhelms you with plot. Sitting through it is like opening the door to an overloaded closet. Stuff just tumbles out.

The film trivializes real problems in South Africa so I won’t feel bad saying that White Wedding makes it seem like the biggest danger facing the post-apartheid South African film industry is falling victim to Hollywood clichés.

It's a winning farce, if one that's far too broad.

Some scenes are mild fun, but the mishaps that befall our hero aren't especially inventive, and although the South African setting provides a bit of interest, it's never really used incisively.

[A] pleasant, intentionally lightweight, South African road-movie romance with a sly integrationist political agenda.

When it's all over, it's no more satisfying than a not-bad sitcom.

Rating: 5/10 --
A cinematic soap opera that shows what can be done with expensive cars a high fashion clothes. Not much.

Product Description:
Devoted groom-to-be Elvis (Kenneth Nkosi) sets out on a 1,800-kilometer South African road trip in order to give his fiancée, Ayanda (Zandile Msutwana), a European-style dream wedding, but finds that getting there won't be easy thanks to his best friend, Tumi (Rapulana Seiphemo), and a wandering English doctor named Rose (Jodie Whittaker). Meanwhile, as Ayanda begins to question Elvis' commitment, her opinionated mother weights in with her own thoughts about choosing European tradition over African tradition, and a handsome old boyfriend shows up with a suspicious agenda.
