IF YOU are looking for a delightful movie to enjoy this weekend, look no further than Semi-Soeter.

- DEBASHINE THANGEVELO

Directed by Joshua Rous, this Netflix romcom is bolstered by Mzansi’s créme de la créme of Anel Alexander, Nico Panagio, Sandra Vaughn, Louw Venter, Diaan Lawrenson, Neels van Jaarsveld and Héléne Truter bringing the script to life. And a rib-tickling one at that.

Firstly, picturesque Cape Town shines in several of the frames. It evokes a European atmosphere.

This sequel to the 2012 Semi-Soet kicks off with Jaci van Jaarsveld (Alexander) and JP Basson (Panagio) having their hands full babysitting the rambunctious brood of Hertjie Greyling (Louw Venter) and Karla (Vaughn).

While they love their best friends’ little ones, they are grateful to be able to give them back to their parents.
