Oscar Kightley.
As a piece of product placement it is ingenious, making it look as the Alert Cabs are as ubiquitous as Yellow Cabs are in New York. Albert Oscar Kightley is now married to Tania and they are living in suburbia, both working in insurance and desperate to have a baby; Sefa Shimpai Lelisi and Leilani are still together with two children, but married.
Their lax friendship is abruptly challenged as they are required to go on a quest looking for Bolo, who is convinced he a has killed someone, and they think is about to commit suicide. This bunch of hapless Sancho Panzas following their Don Quixote on their mission allows for some absurdly farcical situations, as well as cringe making one liners and some brilliant humour.
Michael : The what? Connections Follows Samoan Wedding User reviews 7 Review. Top review. A pleasant and entertaining characterture. It is fair to say 'Sione's Wedding' was a highly entertaining film which was well shot, acted, written and delivered.
It may seem odd to say, but the great quality of the first Sione's weighs uncomfortably on the higher budget sequel. The production values are high, each shot wonderfully crafted and shot with amazing quality while the sound is clear and fluent. The music is also pleasant and well fitted, the only problem is this film is the sequel to the first.
The great thing about the first film is that it was so well written, the audience entered these characters lives, each character was so far developed - they were believable and relatable. The development process was so focused on the lead roles, the minor roles such as Sione, Bolo, Tania and Leilani were all left to stay out of the spotlight and become hard to understand and relate.
The central story of the first film focused on Sione's dedication to his wife, yet for no reason the character of Sione has a major personality change and the second film stems from this, as though he was always this characterised. However as mentioned, Albert, Michael, Sefa and Stanley all remain well written, constant and most importantly; real.
The writers haven't gone all wrong though on the minor characters, the hilarious Derek stands out, brilliantly acted by David Van Horn.
All in all, the only problem I have with this film is its at times faceless direction and most importantly the fact it is the sequel to 'Sione's Wedding'. If this film was a standalone, I'm sure I would have enjoyed it a far load more, not being preoccupied trying to decipher what the feeling I was getting throughout the whole film.
Though not as good as the original, this film is still hugely enjoyable and a must for all Kiwi cinema goers. Details Edit. Release date January 19, New Zealand. New Zealand. Official site. Auckland, New Zealand. South Pacific Pictures. Box office Edit. Technical specs Edit.
