The story has been done to death in zillions of movies before across all countries who make cinema!! And then the plot is just so ridiculous!! No logic at all. The Protagonist is a sophisticated lawyer, supposedly intelligent but obviously not! She doesn't ask one relevant question. Even her boyfriend n colleagues r shown as fools!! She just sits there quietly n goes down without putting up a fight. Even dialogues r sad!! Actually it can be funny. The actors r alright given such a shabby screenplay. The only thing i found attractive in this movie was the ladies office attires! Very chic!! I think thts d only reason i could bear to watch the entire movie.

Not realistic at all would be better if actors had a little more experience. Characters were pretty clueless for this to be such a serious movie it was kind of comical. Blah blah blah is basically what the movie started saying to me once the idiot boyfriend invited the same woman that caused problems into his home. The fight scene between the two women looked so fake and all of a sudden they stopped and argued over a picture lol. This movie is truly an inspiration for people like me that was thinking about making a movie because if this can make it to Netflix I'm sure I can come up with something.

The 2023 thriller "Home Wrecker" from writer and director Stephina Zwane was one that I had never even heard about prior to sitting down and watching it.

And I have to admit that I wasn't exactly harboring a whole lot of expectations to the movie, as the synopsis and the movie's poster seemed like pretty generic stuff. Yet, I still opted to give "Home Wrecker" the benefit of the doubt, and thus sat down to watch it.

Well, the good news is, if you enjoy these generic and predictable thrillers about infidelity, then you're in for a treat here. Because Stephina Zwane delivers something that follows the how-to-make-a-romantic-thriller blueprint by the letter, for better or worse.

Needless to say, that with "Home Wrecker" being a South African movie, then I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble, given my very limited exposure to the South African cinema. The acting performances in the movie, however, were actually fair and adequate, especially when taking into consideration the restrictions of the generic script.

Sure, I sat through the movie, but was only mildly entertained. But then again, this particular subgenre of thrillers is not something I delve into very often. But I am sure that there is an audience out there that will take a liking to the movie, because it wasn't a bad movie.

My rating of "Home Wrecker" lands on a five out of ten stars.
