When she meets two eligible young men \u2013 serial seducer Dumile (Thapelo Mokoena) and regular good guy Joe (Lehasa Moloi), she is blinded by the charm, wealth, and power of Dumile and doesn\u2019t 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?<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Mrs Right Guy\u2019 is funny, light and it’s got something positive to say in a positive way.

So do yourself a favour and go check this movie out.\u201d TVSA<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2018Mrs Right Guy\u2019 evinces a healthy sheen of technical expertise. It gives us productive, smart, black South Africans who aren\u2019t mired in despair for our entertainment. Instead, we get some snippy one-liners and beautiful people who should be on a magazine cover.\u201d IOL<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s wonderful to see audiences supporting great local films,\u201d says Kuun. \u201cWe encourage people to make sure they catch the film while it\u2019s still on circuit so they can see it in all its big screen glory.\u201d<\/p>\n
