Three Wise Cousins

Overhearing his crush say she only likes "real island guys" gets Adam packing for Samoa in the first movie from Stallone Vaiaoga-Ioasa (aka SQS). Shot largely on location, the self-funded comedy co-stars Samoans Vito Vito and Fesuiai Viliamu as cousins, who teach Adam (newbie Neil Amituanai) the basics of island life. In this excerpt Adam wakes in an unexpected place, for a crash course in crushing cocoa. Three Wise Cousins made the top ten at the Kiwi box office in its opening weekend, and continued to win solid audiences, despite a minimal marketing budget. Stuff critic James Croot found it "colourful and charming".

If the woman sees the man's fale is dusty, they will think 'What other parts of that man is dusty too?'
