Seriously Single (2020)

I loved this Rom-Com Yes, it was formulaic but so what! I loved that Black women were being silly, messy, cute, and funny on their own terms. Plus everyone was gorgeous and Tumi Morake stole every scene she was in as Noni. Loved it!

Fmovies: Loved the actors, funny and executed their roles amazingly. Would totally recommend! Chick flick, feel good, funny movie with real life scenarios.

First of all, a movie such as this usually falls somewhat outside of my preference of movies to watch. But I had the opportunity to sit down and watch it, and given the fact that I hadn't already seen it, I thought I might give the movie a chance, even without ever having heard of the movie prior to now.

Well, "Seriously Single" from writer Lwazi Mvusi happened to be a very straightforward, although very generic, romantic comedy, for better or worse. Of course there is a an audience out there for a sappy movie such as this. But yeah, it falls into the category of once-you've-seen-one-movie-like-this-you've-essentially-seen-them all. Yup, it was that much of a step-by-step manuscript of how-to-make-a-romcom.

The acting in the movie was adequate, taking into consideration the type of movie that it was, and the limitations of the script and storyline. I wasn't familiar with a single actress or actor in the movie, which was something that actually worked out well for me.

"Seriously Single" was adequately entertaining, although it was by no account an outstanding movie.

My rating of directors Katleho Ramaphakela and Rethabile Ramaphakela's movie is a bland and mediocre five out of ten stars.

Seriously Single fmovies. I normally do mot watch movies like these. Had a time to sit and watch it, the characters lacked any screen chemistry, the directing was too over the top. A rom-com should at least have chemistry and not try to make every scene funny by throwing in random gags.The protagonist and the love interest could act but it still couldn't work on screen. If you want a mild easy movie, by all means you can watch it, but if you treat films like art, you will be disappointed.

Excusing the ignorant yet typical American, who thinks a clean English accent is some kind of american representation...this FULLY South African Cast and Production is another great attempt at a romcom. This is a relatively new genre for the South African film industry, and though there were a few cringe-worthy acting moments, the movie was refreshing, playful, and what is to be expected of your regular romcom.

There is space for improvement in regards to originality in script, though this is a problem we see in general across, all national film industries, so let's not pretend this is where this all started. Overplayed scenarios and cliches have become the bread and butter of Hollywood, though hopefully not so much Netflix. Looking forward to the more creative side of Lwazi Mvusi. Great attempt.

It's so sad to watch a movie about women so desperate for men that they disrespect themselves and others. We need movies about women's independence and empowerment, not desperation. This movie was a horrible disappointment.
