Kopano Mahlasi

Disaster Holiday (2024) is one of those films that throws you straight into chaos and doesn’t really care if you’re ready or not. Kopano Mahlasi absolutely owns their role, carrying the story with a mix of dark humor and real, raw emotion. The plot revolves around a family vacation that, let’s just say, doesn’t go as planned. We’re talking flight delays, lost luggage, the rental car is a piece of junk, and then—bam—suddenly they’re in the middle of a full-blown natural disaster. The kind of trip where your sunscreen explodes in your bag and you still think, “Well, at least it can’t get worse,” and then it totally does. The film slides between comedy and drama, never quite letting you settle. There are these moments where everything falls apart—literally—and then someone cracks a joke that feels so real, you can’t help but laugh. Mahlasi’s character is the glue, trying to keep everyone together when everything’s going sideways. The supporting cast? They’re a mess in the best way—bickering, panicking, making terrible decisions, and somehow still sticking together. It’s a wild ride that pokes fun at family dynamics, absolutely nails the stress of travel, and gives you a couple of gut-punch emotional scenes just when you’re least expecting it. Disaster Holiday isn’t about the perfect vacation; it’s about surviving the worst possible one. And honestly, by the end, you kind of wish you could be there, just to see what happens next.
