I was thoroughly disappointed with this movie ; I don’t even know where to start! From the lack of chemistry between the male lead and Nse’s character ( it was more lust than love so I really found it hard to believe that he chose her over Dakore’s character), to the casting of Hilda Dokubo as Nse’s mother ( very unlikely) to the male lead’s lacklustre performance to the ridiculous and implausible storyline - I could go on and on! This movie was a HUGE letdown for me👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾
Girllll!!! I found it weird too that Hilda Dokubo was playing Nse & Uzo’s mom but I just kept things moving. And like you said there were a number of things that were off about the movie but I just let them slide because I really wanted to be done with the review and get back to my vacation. I can’t keep sounding like a broken record over these Ebony Life Studios films. When they’re ready they’ll fix up. 🎬
But they’re too big a production company to be making mediocre storied films like this. 🤦♀️ Over hype is gradually killing them.
@@Filmspree "Over hype is gradually killing them." Word!!!
Wasn't surprised at all! It's Mo'Abudu na what did you expect...Always putting out crappy movies! Please why do Nigerians like hyping CRAP again? I never get it! Nse is a fantastic actor but plots/storyline of most her movies are just the dumbest! Again, Nollywood movies on Netflix are just total rubbish...ridiculous!
This movie annoyed me. It had nothing to do with the acting or anything else but the story itself. Maybe i envisioned it too much, like how ??? How could three grown people do this to themselves. And the fact that Sunday won whatever game they were playing pissed me off.
My point. I was reviewing the movie with a friend and I was wondering if we're at this stage already in Nigeria. Being intimate with someone I know was intimate with my best friend. Maybe I'm just late to the party though but it's a no no
The whole time I was watching it, I kept thinking they are way too old for this foolishness.
To think that Sunday was having an affair with two friends while still married and they kept justifying it with he is getting a divorce which he didn't get till the end of the movie. It was a complete letdown.
I swear. At the end of the film the manipulative philanderer won. Such a let down. 👎🏽
@@titoabumere like how? 2 intelligent women (maybe one) even though 🤦 really really howwwwwwwww
Mmmmmm… Eni. Can we beseech Aunty Mo to abort mission on film making, ahhh. Boya focus on Event planning and Lifestyle.
So I had said the movie felt it had two personalities, I mean some part of the story felt really good and then this same story felt like a cocktail of confusion.
I ended the movie and tweeted that the movie felt like it had such a Vacuum. The acting felt forced, and not authentic.
The sound of the movie sounded like the music director and sound editor got the movie late. Then it felt confusing.
The themes introduced where so many, and these themes where not developed properly and then they drop them during the story in a very uncalled for way. They had, terminal disease, divorce and family abandonment, IVF, emotional abuse (Uche and Sam), friendship. Nothing was properly developed.
I hate how they did not develop the characters (Uche and Toyin) between and give background context. We were dumped into their present struggles assuming a lot.
What is this fixation with casting Igbo men as Femi!!!!!! Is there now a shortage of Yoruba Nollywood actors. Also, will it be Ebonylife movies if there is no Americanized feel that makes the movie feel disjointed 😭😭😭.
Considering the name of script writers I saw, I could not understand why this movie felt hollow.
Do we want to talk about unnecessary characters???
Wo see, this movie could have waited another year in the oven for proper execution, this felt weird and I will not even recommend it to anyone I know.
On that note Pleaseeeeee do a review of “When Are We Getting Married” 😩😩😩. I know you have seen it.
Anyways have a lovely holiday. We look forward to the studio, this floor arrangement no gel.
Unpopular opinion:
I think the cast was a little too old. These women are old enough to be my mum and they were in some situations that younger people find themselves in. Like Uche had a sugar daddy, and she looked like she should already have her self financially secure at her age. Uche and Toyin knowingly sharing a man (that was already married) at their big age.
Toyin following 2 random men in a club, at what age???
The list can go on...
I think this whole story would be more realistic if the women were in mid 30s and not middle age.
Yes, yes and yes. You totally spoke my mind. It just wasn't plausible that ladies in their age range were in that kind of situation with the way the characters were presented. Let's not start with the story line...so many wrong things!
I saw this movie on Valentine’s Day, and it was just okay, it’s not one of those movies you would want to talk to somebody about, it’s quite forgettable
Another thing that surprised me was, Sunday said he was in Nigeria for his brother's wedding. So all of a sudden abandoned his life in the abroad to be chasing two friends ......so many things just felt disjointed in this movie. Ebonylife needs to give movie making a rest and then go back to the drawing board. Their only movies/series that have made sense are wedding party 1, castle and castle and blood sisters. Thinking about it now, they are probably more suited to series than movies 🤔. Someone please advise aunty Mo
Don’t forget Sons of the Caliphate; they outdid themselves on that one. I think Sunday said something about being in charge of expanding the train network in Nigeria? So he was in Nigeria for work also. But I agree the movie was a bit all over the place…
@@ememobongnkana I actually didn't watch sons of caliphate.... So this confirms my theory that they are better with series.... She should probably stick to that niche
Oloture
Right!!! Why didn't he go back abroad after the wedding? He only came in town for the wedding but he's the businessman behind the train system? And he was staying with his brother the whole time? Whose care was he driving? They just threw any and everything into the movie.
Sons of the Caliphate was dope
Very on brand for the studios.
The lines were terrible: the train scene(to ibadan) when he said "maybe you don't like me at all".
CRINGE.
And then the part where Sunday told Toyin (at the train station) that she wouldn't be able to book a hotel this late- AND IT WAS CLEARLY DAYTIME!!!!
Tito you summed it all. We all endured the film. Sad that the studios has the resources to make great filmography but alas, here we are.
And let's not start on the WIGSSSSSSSSSSS!
You can wear 1 wig for a 2 year duration but for the type of high flying jobs the ladies had: it was doing it AT ALL.
Oh, nice cinematography, music. Nice gowns, great gowns.
😂😂😂 See ehn, at this point I don’t know what to say about EL again o. It’s to just be catching cruise now cos I’m tired of repeating myself.
I watched the movie, was very disappointed. I went to IG and saw people hyping it, and I was wondering if this is the same movie I just watched. The movie was very very weird....to think I was looking forward to it 😑
The besties wearing the same wig for the entire movie was just bad 😭 Dakore’s wasn’t the worst but Nse’s wasn’t even a good wig or natural looking which made it unbearable.
Unpopular opinion though, I was kinda routing for Toyin. I could empathise with her being the good girl for most of her life, doing everything right but not getting what she deserved. I think pursuing Sunday was her only selfish act, and for someone that was dying she still held it together better than most I think 🤷🏾♀️
She did hold things together but I think she was really crafty & shady in the way she went about things. Perhaps she would have done things differently if she wasn’t terminally ill.
Oris is the guy in ‘Road to yesterday’ with Genevieve.
Great review!
I had more fun watching your video than I did watching the film. 🙃🙃
Also, I actually liked the relaxed vibe in the video (and the puns, of course).
😆😆😆 Bolu o! Don’t kill me. The people at Ebony Life Studios must not see this your comment. Lol. Thanks jare. Me I sha miss my studio. Maybe I’ll try this relaxed ‘sitting on the floor’ vibe when I’m back. 🤔 Lol.
Oris, I quite like him. Haven’t seen him in this film so I don’t know, but he was good in Genevieve Nnaji’s Road to Yesterday.
Sundays clothes were really nice! I didn't like that Uche wore the same wig for most of the movie but it was really nice to see her play such a vulnerable & emotional character.
Right!!! I noticed the wig thing too and tho it didn’t really set of any alarms in my head I found it odd that they had pretty much the same hairstyle for the entire film. Not a good look for such a high profile film.
Nothing pissed me off more than the fact that the two major characters wore the same wig for the entire movie. They were now busy styling the same wig thinking they could fool us😭😭😭.
Then Toyin willing off her baby to someone she has wrong? Doesn’t she have family members??
It’s how they made Sunday with a nasty behavior feel like a trophy😒
😂😂
That was Oris in that Genevieve's film! I've forgotten the title now.
I am very surprised that the stars of this movie agreed to be a part of it. The writing was beyond atrocious. Nothing made sense, especially why Uche needed a sugar daddy when she came from a wealthy family. Her behavior in the movie would've made more sense if she had her own money. Sunday's character was just all over the place. I don't even know where to start with that one. The movie would've landed better if the actors were younger.
I watched the trailer and I just knew I wasn't going to watch it. I kept refreshing your page to see your review. Not surprised at all
Me too! The trailer irked me a lot!!
at this point I have given up on EL🤣🤣😪
Bruh! I don taya for them. 😩
The entire thing was a disaster. There was nothing to like about this movie. A waste of my time honestly. Horrible acting and I didn’t connect with anybody. The storyline was just weird
Yikes! 🤕 Weird is definitely the word.
I totally agree with you at 3:19 . She was sneaky from the onset. There were a lot of things wrong with the characters sha🤦
I was just hissing 🙄
Day 3 and counting! As a matter of fact, I paused the movie to watch this review. Boya it is me that doesn’t understand movies again. Cos as I started watching again today , I became tired. Cos with all the fabs and Glams , the same hair on these ladies is really distracting me…. I will try and finish the movie today sha. Also bcos I have too many EL movies on “continue watching” on my profile 😢
🤣🤣🤣 Wow! Pele. It sounds like it’s really a chore for you to get through the film. I can relate sha cos I wanted to sleep so bad when I was watching it. I kept checking to see how much time I had left for it to be over.
😂😂😂
I don’t even know how to react to this review. How does one react to a movie where their name is on the credit as a writer (they rewrote the script six years ago, it was by a different title, there was no useless name like Sunday (shudder)) and has no idea what has happened to the script except that a bunch of extra names have attached themselves to the writing credit. You have been given the wrong credit, have no idea how the story has evolved since, did not know about the release until you watched the trailer and were like wait, this looks vaguely familiar…oh wait!!. I have not watched this movie because I’m not sure i even want to know. But Tito whatever you (and others) say here, i am with you.
Wowwww! 😲 First of all I’m so sorry this happened Pearl. It sounds like a painful experience. I can just imagine how you felt. Nollywood needs to do better with a lot of things but especially with crediting people’s work and rewarding them accordingly.
I totally understand how you feel about the movie because I've been struggling to finish it. I'm basically bored but I just want to get done with it.
I actually paused the movie to watch this review and also watch a totally different movie.
Paused and watched another movie!!!! That needs to be a rating right there. It's the most accurate rating for this movie.
There were alot of annoying things about the movie like you pointed out but I actually really enjoyed it.
1:10 I was like are we talking about the movie ?😂😂😂
😂 No vex, your boy lost focus there for a second. 🤪
Tito I have been waiting for you. 👏🏾
This movie is such a disappointment....I don't like the choice of actors....and the storyline is shallow
I kept trying to remember where I know Oris’s face from. He was in Sometimes in April. That was a really good movie. So I’m really shocked that he dropped to this movie.
Oris was also in Road to Yesterday. His look changes dramatically when he trimmed his beard and shorter hair; I didn’t recognize him.
What I liked... The costumes!😂. That cracked me up for real.
I was waiting for this review!!!😊
Glad to be of service. I hope I didn’t disappoint? 🌟
@@titoabumere You didn't.
Oloture
Wow! I'll check it out and come back.
I believe some of the locations used were Ebonylife studio itself, if it is then it will be beautiful "creating" new locations to suit each project. Lol you are mixing "Dakore" as an individual to a "Character". I like how Dakore played something different from what we would have expected. Also, her character was very loaded oh, so she really did not need Sunday's money...Was it even established that he was wealthy lol. I didn't feel the chemistry between the 2 best friends
Hmmm. 🤔 Fair points. As for the chemistry, I do t know if any 2 characters in that film had chemistry. I was legit surprised Toyin would ‘agree’ for Sunday. He didn’t seem like her type.
@@titoabumere exactly!!!!
She definitely seemed well off but it confused me when she was complaining that she doesn't get what she deserves while everyone else does. Which everyone else was she referring to?
Wait hollup....where are you bro?
😆 Out of office! That's where I am. Lol. I'm getting some much needed R&R. ✌🏾
A job well done again bruh. I kind of enjoyed the movie but don’t think l see the possibility of that scenario painted in real life though.
Enjoy your holiday too.
Well done, Eniola, the guy that played Sunday character was in a Nigerian movie titled "A Road to Yesterday," he acted with Genevieve Nnaji.
The acting doesn't seem original to me. It was predictable, I feel it was more like different parts of American movies made Nigerian.
Enjoy your holiday
Ahhhh, Thank youu, i remember why his flat acting was familiar with his face.😭😭😭 I now remember
Ok. I don’t think I’ve seen ‘A road to yesterday’. I’ll put it on my list of movies to watch. Thanks. Will try & enjoy my holiday. 🥂🙂
Tito said there's no reason why you shouldn't watch it on Netflix before watching your review 😂
It was hard to get through. Forgettable movie for sure
First to comment! wohooo! Haven't even finished the video yet
😆 Well done. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I guess you've broken Ngong Kluivert 's streak. I think they were the first to comment on my last two videos.
@@titoabumere haha!!! I'm am the NEW KING of first commenters!! Ngong my mam. sorry ehn!
Mounted 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤪🤪🤪
It was ok but funny places especially the guy going in The club ready to fight 👀🤣 nether less at best 4/10
Tito, it seems you endured making this review much more than you endured watching the movie 😅
Was a beautiful storyline.
Wished they did more with it .
Such an underwhelming movie
Agreed! 💯👎🏽
This was one of the worst movies I’ve ever watched 🙄
🤣 Wow! And there have been some terrible Nollywood films on Netflix lately o. You're saying this one surpasses them all? Lol.
Finally Tito has posted. Now I can get a lot off my chest!!!!!
Gbam
😂 You people aren’t serious walahi. It’s because of y’all that I said let me do this thing now o instead of waiting till I’m back in Lagos. If not it’s so so ‘Where’s the review? Where’s the review?’ that I would’ve been reading in my comments. Glad I was able to anticipate and meet your needs. 👍🏽
The sex scene was lit
Ok Tito, this review on the movie is a total disappointment. I mean you literally didn't talk of anything, watch American Hollywood reviews and learn to give a well rounded and derailed review. Here is my review on this;
The movie is not at all a bad movie, it is a very good movie that is not void of a few flaws, in my opinion the flaws are based on, character choices, attention to detail and plot holes.
Character choices: I think the guy that acted Akin did a great job, I loved his strong charisma and he kind of had an intimidating masculine presence, due to this I think Alex was not a good support character for him. Alex didn't convince me that they had a relationship that was deep, their energy didn't go so well, a Deyemi would have matched his vibe better. next is the guys at the bar, they didn't look threatening in anyway, they looked like jolly good fellow a who posed no threat as they were painted to be, a more threatening looking party goer, without the geek glasses would have been suitable.
Attention to detail: I wonder why in the long passage of time Uche and Toyin never changed their wigs, especially Uche (Nse) she literally wore a single wig throughout what seamed like a 2year time period, haba.
Plot holes: The sugar daddy Character was left hanging, at least they should have shown how Uche (Nse) was able to be free from his threats e.g they could have shown that she sold some art works at a huge amount to the white investor and was able to pay off the chief to his suprise. These are just the major flaws.
The good; The choice of location and they way they were able to utilize it was evidence of great cinematography, I literally reimagined Lagos through their lenses, the drone view of the moving train was breathtaking. kudos to the team.
Also I particularly loved the sound, it was suitable for the slow and quite sad storyline. It had the vibe of a late 90s Hollywood movie.
I will rate the movie a 7/10 on a Nollywood standard and 5/10 on a global standard.
Thank you for your review sir. But you didn't need to bring down Tito to give your 2 cents. At the end of the day you're giving your review on his platform. And he's not doing a bad job. Let's just be kinder while addressing people.
😌I love Tito's better 💗💗.
