New South African romantic-comedy Mrs Right Guy will open at cinemas nationally on 29 April. The film stars Dineo Moeketsi as the lovelorn Gugu Hlatshwayo who, disillusioned and disappointed by love, has learnt to reject men long before they can get too close to her.
Gugu has grown up with the curse of being the It Girl , the most beautiful and wanted by everyone. She is the kind of woman who walks out of her yard and is beset by guys asking her out, or flirt with her. Being raised by Gog Agnes has saved her, with the older woman warning her off boys and their slick ways. She eluded all of them. That is, until she met Sipho Motshegwa, who showed her that her grandmother was right, when he wooed her, won her, married her, bonked her, and left her penniless on an island paradise.
Mrs Right Guy is directed by Nigerian-born filmmaker Adze Ugah, who says he is excited about the film nearing completion. It s the perfect vehicle for Dineo Moeketsi s big screen debut, he says. The storyline about the challenges facing the contemporary single woman in her search for a mate is so relevant right now, and the film reflects the complications millennials face as they try to find true love.
Raising laughs as well as hope for those who have been wounded by love, the film follows Gugu as fate introduces her to two eligible young men serial seducer Dumile (Thapelo Mokoena) and regular good guy Joe (Lehasa Moloi). One is a sure- fire way to heartbreak, and the other a guaranteed ticket to true love and happiness.
Gugu is blinded by the charm, wealth, and power of Dumile and doesn t see Joe for who he is: a kind, hardworking and grounded man who is just as comfortable on a chicken farm, as he is in Soweto or a glitzy corporate office. How will she make sure she lands the man she deserves, especially after her shoddy treatment of Joe?
Mrs Right Guy was funded by the National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF), in association with the Gauteng Film Commission, and The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). A Fuze Films production, the film was produced by Dumi Gumbi, Kethiwe Ngcobo, Mokopi Shale and Cati Weinek. The film is being distributed in South Africa by Indigenous Film Distribution.
