Running Riot Audience Reviews

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Aspen Orson There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
Sean Olivier One of the best comedies produced in South Africa. Bill Flynn (R.I.P) and Paul Slabolepszy deliver an awesome performance, reviving their roles as Tjokkie Hetherington and Crispin Wentzel from their first film "Heel against the Head (1999)" respectively. You have to watch both these movies if you want laugh your pants off. The entire film is filmed in Kwazulu Natal and during the annual Comrades Marathon. The antics around the entire competition and between the two main characters and their rivals is hilarious. If you are South African or familiar with the slang, i promise you, you will be falling off your chair with laughter.
cunners05 this is an amazing movie! it is an absolute classic the acting is great especially from both Grealy members there is none stop laughs throughout the entire movie if you get the chance to rent out this movie i highly recommend it it is one of the best south African film ever crafted Mr and Mrs Grealy well done i salute you on a prime performance i was very appalled when i saw this movie with a 3.0 rating it deserves at least a 9+ i have watched this movie easily more than 10 times and still enjoy watching it i myself am Australian and i am jealous that a South African film beats all Australian films in my top 10 outstanding 10/10
