Karate Kallie (2009)

The traditional new-kid-on-the-block tale of chubby 17-year-old schoolboy Kallie. From the get-go in his new town, Kallie realizes that he and his family don't really fit in. With no father figure and low self-esteem, Kallie will inevitably encounter trouble in his new school. At least he quickly establishes some kind of friendship with a coloured boy; unfortunately, this bond isn't powerful enough to stop him from being bullied by smaller, fairly-arrogant schoolmate Frits. To make matters worse, Kallie falls in love with Frits' sister Annetjie, but will never taste sweet love if he can't defend himself against Frits. Luckily for Kallie, his tow-truck-driving, Kung-Fu-movie-loving older brother Mike comes to the rescue. Mike is a bit of a racist, but the unthinkable happens and he also falls in love--with Kallie's new friend's sister. It might merely be the fact that she drives a pimped-up car that shoots flames from the exhaust, but it might also be the age-old saying that true love has no boundaries. The latter is also true for Kallie, who will stop at nothing to win Annetjie. This kicks off make-or-break time, as Mike gives Kallie some Karate pointers. They even seek extra professional mentorship from the Weekend Assassins, but soon realize that these guys are also wannabes who need even more help than Kallie does. Kallie's mother steps in and suggests professional Karate lessons from the master, Soon Pretorius. This sets off Kallie's hilarious adventure in getting to know himself better and to win the girl. Meanwhile, Mike's constantly on the run from the police for being a "creative" tow-trucker: rigging his own accident scenes. A great team effort evolves between Mike and Kallie, who sees the upcoming school talent show as his big opportunity. Luckily the competition isn't really that strong. Kallie knows there is only way he will woo Annetjie - This also leads to a final showdown between Kallie and Frits - A true Afrikaans Comedy in the making.
