Q: Is this movie worth the price of admission?
A:
Proceed with Caution. It's cute for a South African rom-com, but Americans would have done it better. And they have.Q: Will this movie make me laugh?
A: What it lacks in laugh out loud comedy, it makes up for in charm.
Q: Will this movie make me cry?
A: What's sad about it, is learning that there are still groups of people who mourn the loss of apartheid openly and without shame.
Q: Will this movie be up for any awards?
A: It was South Africa's submission for this year's Academy Awards in the Best Foreign Feature category. I can see why they lost.
Q: How is the Acting?
A: I watched Rapulana Seiphemo play a bad ass gangster, earlier this year, in Gangster's Paradise: Jerusalema, so it was fun to watch him in a comedy role. The rest of the acting is decent, but some of their accents make them sound like they are having a hard time speaking English.
Q: How is the Directing?
A: Aside from one nice transition where everyone is washing their faces, Jann Turner's directing is completely banal.
Q: How is the story/script?
A: This is the aspect that I'm talking about, when I say that Americans would've done it better. From Forces of Nature, to Leap Year, to the upcoming Due Date, to the John Hughes film that started it all, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Americans have made this movie a million times, but with stronger comedy and more moving emotional parts. Then again, there's something to be said for the cultural differences that a South African sensibility brings to the party.
Q: Where can I see the trailer?
