Spud

Whether you’ve read the adventures of little Spud as he enters boarding school or not, you will enjoy the film for various reasons.

One: John Van De Ruit’s incredibly entertaining stories naturally lend themselves to screen conversion; they go together like pap and vleis. Two: Spud is a South African story and now a South African film, shot right in our own back yard. This means that it stars some fabulous young, home-grown talent, which is always exciting to see. Three: John Cleese brings the colourful character of The Guv to life with such aplomb that you’ll think he was born just to play this role. I can’t wait for the second one! Go see it.

Rating: 4 outta 5.
