Bakgat! (2008)
Katrien (Cherié van der Merwe) is dumped by her boyfriend, high school rugby star Werner (Altus Theart), so he can focus his energy on the sport. To get even, she makes a bet with her friends that she can make a star out of the school's dorkiest boy, 'Wimpie' Koekemoer (Ivan Botha), by pretending to be his girlfriend. The awkward Koekemoer rises to the challenge but Katrien finds herself falling unexpectedly in love with him, until he realizes she is merely using him.

Purely Joyful Movie!
Best movie ever!
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
This is a fresh teen comedy in Afrikaans a very good storyline with Ivan Botha,Cherie Vander merwe,Lelia Etsabeth en Will Roberts. The story is about a teenage geek who is very unpopular.The most popular girl in school state's that she can make that geek the most popular rugby player in school with very funny results. Tthis is the typical girl doesn't like boy but falls for him anyway nothing new but still very good if you want to see all the gags especially the sex therapy class sequences you better watch this asap. The movie does have English subtitles so really anyone can watch it. This movie also have a second and a third installment that follow up on this one so make sure you watch this one 1st
This is a BAD movie full of cheesy one liners, BAD sexual humor and extremely unoriginal. I can name a number of movies with the EXACT same plot but the one best suited is: She's all that. You know the guy makes a bet that he can turn the unattractive, weird and clumsy chick into the next big thing? This is that exact movie just this time it's a girl making the bet.Again please don't waste your time on this, the acting is bad and very forced and the script seems like the work of a teen sex addict. Oh wait! that's the target audience...Terrible and VERY unimaginative.
Well where to begin, when I first watched this movie, I thought it would be a typical Afrikaans movie (Bad acting, no real or original story line) but was I surprised, it is really a great movie. The movie is in Afrikaans with English subs, but for those Afrikaans speaking people out the it's truly a great modern movie. It's a typical movie about a boy in high school who is always a outcast and is willing to do anything for the high school sweetheart. In this case it is playing rugby, unlike most movies where the underdog finds out he is great at a sport, this one the underdog actually has to train for it. And during this time he and the high school prom queen actually fall in love. It's a great romantic comedy that will have you laughing from the beginning and crying at the end.
