    Very confused over the timeline - supposed age of their daughter

    Am I the only one confused that the second film doesn't follow on from the first yet it is supposed to be set 5 years later?

    In the first film their daughter is already 5 or 6 I would say from what you can see, in one of the last scenes talking on the phone to Leo and princes she is clearly a young child.

    Yet on the second film supposedly set 5 years later she is only meant to be 4? And Leo has not been there for any of it .... The opening scene to film 1 is princess saying what a good co-parent he is? Some reviews I have read says that princess was pregnant at the end of film 1 and this disappeared before the baby was born, once of the scenes in film 2 alludes to him missing the birth. But it was Leo's girlfriend that was pregnant at the end of film 1 not princess.

    What am I missing here? So confused!!!!

    Back with a bang

    It's been five years and the ladies have grown up. Zaza is now a widow, having lost her husband a year ago. Princess has moved on with a very good looking albeit controlling Maxwell. Sadly, Nandi and Thomas are MIA. She's replaced with beautiful yogi/ cafe owner Zimkita who is looking to find love.

    Leo returns to destabilize Princess' happily ever after. And Zara's in laws invite themselves into her home and finances. She reacts by making some questionable choices.

    I enjoyed Zaza and Princess's storylines. They rang true. Zimkita's one was not as nuanced or complex. Renate Stuurman gave best performance. She and the actor who played Maxwell carried the movie.

    I hope to see more modern South African movies like this. I feel successful SA women don't get their stories told enough. I loved it, though not as much as the prequel.

    Happiness Ever After - Review

    Thabang Moleya definitely brought Tha-Bang with this sequel. From a narrative perspective , I was somewhat impressed with the Character developments of Princess and Zaza. The storyline explored the Conceptual relevance of the characters extremely well and showed an emphasis that their individual life battles are just important as their relationships. Its always awesome to see new faces on our screens with some of our favorite SA Household names featured. My biggest highlights has got to be the Cinematography , the beautiful smooth dolly shots by Lance Gewer topped up with the ever so great musical scoring by Zethu Mashika which engages with the audiences emotions , the combo's were definitely communicating. I love the creativity and aesthetically pleasing locations that were used throughout. This is one for the books.

    Loved it!

    Loved it! I enjoyed the storyline of each woman, and could relate to their issues. The scenes and fashions are breathtaking, and the acting was great!
