Sole Man! Sione's Wedding Turns 18

A classic that stands the test of time — and the lines our audience still quotes to each other.

The classic movie Sione's Wedding turned 18 on March 30, 2024, hitting screens originally in 2006. For loads of folks, this flick is like a trip down memory lane, stirring up all kinds of warm, fuzzy feelings.

“What time do you call this, Sefa?”

Directed by Chris Graham and written by James Griffin and Oscar Kightley, with John Barnett and Chloe Smith producing, the movie follows the hilarious antics of Michael, Albert, Stanley, and Sefa, a bunch of guys who just can't seem to grow up. When Michael's little brother, Sione, announces he's tying the knot, things get even crazier. But amidst all the laughs and romance, this movie really strikes a chord with people. It's the kind of film you fondly quote with your buddies.

As we mark this special anniversary, our hearts go out to Pua Magasiva's family and friends. Pua, who played Sione, will always be remembered for his role in making this movie a cherished part of our lives.

We asked our audience to share their favorite line from the movie, and the replies came flooding in.
