South Africa, present day. Ayanda (Zandile Msutwana) has always dreamt of a modern "white wedding" - the dress, the bridesmaids, and most importantly, the celebration. Unfortunately, her groom, Elvis (Kenneth Nkosi), and his best-man, Tumi (Rapulana Seiphemo) , are 1,800 kilometers away, with only days to get to the wedding on time. What should be an easy trip turns into one disaster after another as Elvis and Tumi wrestle with directional mishaps, car accidents, a too-friendly goat, a redneck bar, and a sweet English doctor named Rose who hitches a ride.  Meanwhile, Ayanda is drowning in problems of her own, including the friction between European and African traditions, and the unexpected arrival of Tony (Mbulelo Grootboom), her questionable ex-boyfriend.

White Wedding is an unrelentingly pleasant experience, a sweet-natured feel-good comedy that has nothing more to say than, "Life is about the journey." The film's enjoyment stems less from its characters and their predicaments, and more from the sheer excitement of being taken on a road trip across the cultural melting pot that is South Africa. The characters speak in rich and surprising combinations of English, Zulu, Afrikaans, and Xhosa (with subtitles).

My only major bone to pick with White Wedding is its inclusion of the stereotypical fussy gay wedding planner character. It seems the filmmakers are pandering to the same audience they seek to enlighten. Admittedly, I'm a little in love with the easygoing yet empowering positivity of lines such as: "It'll only be a mess if we make it one. Let's do something different, like a happy ending." For those in search of happy endings, look no further.

Sum...ology: An unrelentingly sweet-natured South African comedy.
