Really cute romantic comedy. Not necessarily an original idea, however it was written well and the humor was on point. Definitely recommend.

"Bakgat!" is a 2008 South African comedy film directed by Henk Pretorius. The movie tells the story of Wimpie Koekemoer, the biggest geek in school who dreams of being popular. His dream could unexpectedly become a reality when the most popular girl in school, Katrien Swanepoel, is dumped by first-team rugby center Werner 'Killer' Botha. Katrien and her friends Liezl and Christie decide to give Werner a taste of his own medicine by planning to make Wimpie the new first team center. Rugby is a lot harder than Karien and Wimpie anticipated, and Wimpie almost gives up. Fortunately, his unexpected popularity leads to friendship with school rascals Japie and Fanie.
