My F*k, Marelize! hits Ster-Kinekor cinemas on 29 August 2025. From a viral meme to a full-length movie, the event has truly come out of nowhere - kind of like a rugby post in an open field.
First, a reminder of that infamous moment and meme:
Marelize Horn was pedaling across a massive, empty Namibian field when she somehow managed to crash straight into a rugby goalpost. Yes, the one stationary thing in a sea of nothing. Her mother, Heidi Horn, captured the chaos on camera and yelled the words that would become legendary: “My f*k Marelize!”
And South Africa collectively lol’d.
It’s the kind of ridiculous miscalculation you can’t make up - an epic collision of bad luck, wide-open space, and perfect timing. Somehow, against all odds, Marelize found the one thing she absolutely shouldn’t have.
For those who haven’t heard it shouted across South Africa, this iconic phrase is all about chaos, embarrassment, and that perfectly timed comedy moment. The film expands that energy into a story of Heidi, a strong-willed mother hiding her cancer from her family, and her daughter Marelize, an accident-prone teen who must master bike-riding to become an au pair in the Netherlands. Growing pains, family drama, and internet fame collide in ways that are hilarious and heartfelt.
Leading the laughs are Neels Clasen, Nichola Viviers, Je-Ani Swiegelaar, and Zandelle Meyer under the direction of Zandré Coetzer. Their chemistry is electric, blending physical comedy, satire, and heart. Look out for potential surprise appearances from local celebrities and internet personalities, adding extra spice to the story.
