3 Big Movies Releasing In SA This Weekend

If you’re planning on hitting the movies this weekend, we’ve got you covered for what’s on. This weekend we’ve got a cotton-stuffed comedy, a disaster movie of epic proportions and a local movie that captures the essence of coming of age in SA.

It stars Dwayne Johnson, Paul Giamatti, Iaon Gruffudd, Kylie Minogue (yip, the singing Aussie who also appeared in Street Fighter movie), Ken Watanabe and Colton Hayes.

The film is a locally-produced coming-of-age romantic comedy set against the backdrop of a 2004 matric dance. It follows Jana, who has to make the difficult choice between her closest friend and her dream date, with a little guidance from her parents and her fairy godmother, Suzy,
