I have never watched a comedy movie and at the same time be emotional kudos to funke akindele

I liked the casting and the initial part of the movie. However, the movies had 2 storyline that didn’t work well together. Also Mercy Johnson over played the Igbo woman too much that it appeared fake. If these two things weren’t there it would’ve made for a great comedy

It is refreshing to see something different than what we are used to. The story is solid and it does a lot which maybe is the undoing of the movie.

One of the recipes of great films is to “show, not tell”. Intentionally trying to weave several layers into the overall story was not done tastefully. The film tried to address too many things at once; infidelity, jealousy, envy, abuse, polygamy, family, sibling rivalry, and the insertion of several backstories, and in the end could not do justice to a lot of these.Show more

Many of the actors did really well; Mercy Johnson and Funke Akindele especially however, some were subpar and other were just plainly overacting (Kaiso and Keira).

Finally, we know movies are fictitious and therefore there needs to be suspension of disbelief to properly enjoy a film’s diegesis. However, when you push that too far and start to warp plausibility, it just shows the story is reaching.

I give it a 6 over 10. The message was communicated albeit very weakly; Family is everything.
