Bakgat! (2008)

Wimpie Koekemoer--the biggest geek in school. He is constantly embarrassed by his conservative mother and his strange father, especially in front of girls. Wimpie 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 centre 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 centre. 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. The mischievous duo unknowingly convince Wimpie to keep playing rugby although they're much more interested in pajama parties with girls. Bakgat is finding yourself, despite high school.
