Fanie Fourie’s Lobola Review. Watch it TODAY!!

From the first look at the movie poster, I knew I wanted to watch Fanie Fourie’s Lobola.  Fanie Fourie is one of the main characters played Eduan van Jaarsveldt. Lobola is a set amount paid by a prospective husband to the bride’s family among certain peoples in southern Africa.

Fanie Fourie’s Lobola is a love story from South Africa, about two people with VERY different backgrounds! Cultures that couldn’t possibly be further apart! But, ya know what they say, love will find a way!

First, the music is awesome!! I’m going to need this sound track. This movie has subtitles, I was so engrossed in the movie that I truly forgot I was reading! From the second that Dinky, played by Zethu Dlomo comes on the screen, I’m in love. Dinky is stunning in this film.  Fanie played by Eduan van Jaarsveldt is funny, warm and little bit nerd and a whole lot of loveable.  These two really are perfect for each other! Quirks and all!! 

Watching Dinky and Fanie together made me smile! From the Lion Horn to the remote. What started as a way to annoy their parents ends with the two falling in love. I LOVE a good love story!!  Of course, drama has to interfere, not only cultural differences and family politics, but add in Dinky’s cranky, jealous ex-boyfriend, Fanie meddeling brother and things start breaking down. Funny, sad and thought provoking.  The ending brought me to tears! 

Fanie Fourie’s Lobola won the Film Festival Audience Award at this year’s Jozi Film Festival as well as the Audience Award at the 2013 Sedona International Film Festival.

Fanie Fourie’s Lobola was inspired by the book of the same name, written by Nape à Motana.

Fanie Fourie’s Lobola will be released today April 22, 2014 on iTunes and VOD

An absolute must see movie!!  Two thumbs way WAY UP for Fanie Fourie’s Lobola!!
