Wonderful rendition of a wonderful book August 25, 2008
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
Okay so it doesn't follow the book entirely but I really enjoyed it, almost as much as I have enjoyed the books over the years.
It has been shown on English TV already so this will contain spoilers.
The movies follows a recently bereaved woman Mma Ramotste, well acted by the little known actress Jill Scott as she sets up the only Private Detective Agency in Botswana and her attempts to get it off the ground with the help of her new secretary Mma Makutsi played by the versatile Anika Noni Rose, and Mr JLB Matekoni, the owner and super mechanic of the wonderful Speedy Motors, played by Lucian Msamati. Follow Mma Ramotste as she takes on cases, meets many new people who need her help from a woman who thinks the man who has turned up at her door is not her father, to another lady who has a boyfriend who may or may not be faithful to her.
Filmed in Botswana and South Africa, the film tries to be as faithful as it can be to McCall Smith's books and I loved every second of it!
This is the pilot movie for a new series, so lets hope it is successful!
