Listen, anyone living in Joburg has to have a sense of humour. And when you feel the humour starting to wear off, you book yourself a getaway, stat, before you end up bludgeoning the hawker on your route to work who insists you need a new feather-duster every week (seriously, how many feather-dusters can one possibly own?).So the premise of this local flick is believable: comedy writer, James, loses his ability to find the funny and as a result ends up taking drugs, landing up in rehab and then escaping with his dope-head friend. Once back in Jozi, though, it’s tough to regain his life and ability to laugh, and we watch James’ humorous challenge unfold. Carl Beukes is one of my favourite local actors, so he made watching all the more enjoyable.
Apart from him, the script was entertaining and prompted a good few laughs, which, if you’re living in Joburg, are essential remember? For those of you who’re chilled out in Kaap Stad or diving in Durbs, you’ll still enjoy this solid local comedy.
Rating: 3 outta 5
