Lubabalo Tala

Disaster Holiday (2024) drags you straight into the chaos of a vacation gone completely sideways, starring Lubabalo Tala, who seriously owns every wild scene. The film kicks off with a group of friends who think they’re headed for a chill break—sun, sand, the usual Instagram stories—but what they get is, well, the opposite. Nature decides to flip the script. Think freak storms, power outages, maybe even a wild animal or two. And just when they think they’ve hit rock bottom, something else goes wrong. It’s like Murphy’s Law is having a field day. Lubabalo Tala’s character doesn’t just sit back and whine, though. He’s out there, trying to keep everyone together, cracking jokes even when things feel hopeless, and then—boom—he’s saving the day in a way that’s both ridiculous and kinda heroic. The group starts to implode under the stress. Old secrets spill out, people snap at each other, and you start to wonder if anyone’s going to make it out still friends. The film juggles disaster movie tension with moments that are actually hilarious, which isn’t easy, but somehow they pull it off. By the end, you’re not sure if you want to book your own trip or just stay home forever.
