| Spud 3: Learning to Fly |
Based on the
best-selling novel by Durbanite John van de Ruit, and directed by
John Barker, Spud 3: Learning to Fly continues the story of
John 'Spud' Milton (Troye Sivan) and the antics of the Crazy 8 in all
their glory.
We get a front row seat
into the life of a perceptive teenager who, like most his
age, struggles to keep his head above water. When he isn't trying to
keep his straight A record, he's trying to impress his teachers on
stage and on the sports' field to secure his scholarship for his last
year at school. His last resort is to 'push for prefect', breaking a
pact which tears the (seriously) Crazy 8 apart. All this while trying
to find love and keep his parents' marriage from failing.
This third instalment
introduces Casper Lee, a world famous South African YouTuber, as the
annoying, yet hilarious 'Garlic' from Malawi. This young actor has a
promising future in film. We can't imagine anyone else taking on
the role of Garlic! John Cleese is back as The Gov, promising more endearing
moments, however insane they may seem, from the much-loved English
teacher.
Peppered with unique,
proudly South African humour, Spud 3: Learning to Fly is a
roller-coaster ride of laughs and tears from beginning to end, but
mostly good ol' belly chuckles and much insanity. It's a story to
which we can all relate, as we try to remain level-headed in a
seemingly chaotic world where the pressure to stand out grows to
beyond what we think we can handle.
Due to hit SA cinemas
on 28 November 2014, Spud 3: Learning to Fly is a definite
must-see for all!
