A very funny film, South African style

Jack’s make-up artist and friend decides to disguise Jack as a domestic worker and voilà! we have Mama Jack. Soon fate steps in and Jack lands up as a domestic worker for his former director’s wife who is not a happy chap.
The film is very funny, South African style. Overseas folks might not appreciate it as much.
Worth buying? No, but hire it to share the laughs with family and friends.
Similar films: Mr Bones, Mrs Doubtfire.
Boring, almost unoriginal but some really funny parts – but give it a go.
Myself and my best friend had a choice at the movies, Transporter 2 or MamaJack (Yes we are a bit behind the rest of the world) So we decided to watch the Leon Schuster movie, this would be the first time we had actually paid to watch one of his movies, his previous hit Mr Bones did have a lot of things going for it but it fell flat in places, and i don’t even want to start on his diabolical “Oh Schuks, I’m Gatvol” (the Iraq references were plain embarrassing) So we sat down with a neutral feeling, from the beginning of the movie the pace is slow and at one point turned to Clinton and told him that if the movie does not get better that we would get up and leave. Thats when the lovely Mary-Ann Barlow walked on screen, as great fans of her we immediately sat up and started taking notice (great bath scene!!!!) I guess due to her we started to relax more and gave the movie a chance, and i must admit that even after a slow start we walked out smiling.This movie is unique in that it captures the humor that all South Africans have around them, even though we come from a dark past we all have something to smile and laugh about. To be honest this movie is funnier than Big Mammas House in places but fails to capture the emotion of Mrs Doubtfire, you will definitely laugh at places and i’m sure most people would love to come and experience the beauty of South Africa first hand. There are some really funny moments & its not too emotionally sloppy and this saves the movie from being a bad combo of Mrs Doubtfire/Big Mammas House.
This is a nice family movie to relax with and its really one of the better movies to come out of South Africa.
Overall . this movie receives a 7 out of 10 because of the lovely Mary-Ann Barlow, she is definitely one of the sexiest women in South Africa!
