-Story: [2 out of 5] Well built. Not mind blowing but well built.
-Originality: [2 out of 5] Not the first gay film out of Africa of course, but I like the approach and the difference. What I don’t like is how they are making it seem as though if you send your son to school in America, you stand the risk of him returning to you homosexual. But the movie, is original in its own way.
-Predictability: [1 out of 5] The ending is very much what I expected.
-Directing/Editing: [2 out of 5] NO major directing quams.
-Acting quality: [1 out of 5] Personally I think Artus needs to brush up his acting skills, he is not yet a good actor so it baffles me why he is in so many movies all of a sudden. Is it because he is light skinned? Please, whoever is casting, it is important you realize that not everyone is Van Vicker or Majid oh. And then all the random actors and actresses whose faces I had never seen before, I was just sitting here and wondering what kind of rubbish acting I was watching.
-Setting and Costume: [1 out of 5] In this movie, it seemed to me that the only two people capable of dressing were Tonto and Vivian. Every other person seemed very out of place. It was as though they were dressing from a different century. The jewelry most of the females wore really aggravated me, they were wearing those very colorful and bright beaded necklaces. You know the type you wrap around your head a couple times. Before this movie, I did not know people still wore things like that, I thought they had saved jewelry like that for toddlers only. Anyway, I liked Artus’ traditional shirts because if you don’t know I am always pro any outfit that is “proudly african”. I can not review this movie without pointing out the decor in Tonto and Artus’ home. At the beginning of the third part they switched to about 5 years later into the movie and the first scene is one of Tonto feeding her daughter on the supposed dining table. Now in the movie Tonto and Artus are ridiculously rich, but when I saw this scene I began to wonder if they had suddenly gotten poor between Part 2 and Part 3. Turns out the rest of the decor was on point but the dining just looked like it was borrowed from Queen’s College, Yaba. No offense to my QC babes.
-Video and Audio Quality [3 out of 5] No glaring faults
-Soundtrack [1 out of 5] There was generally no soundtrack to the movie, mainly an array of well laid instrumentals. However, the reason for the score is the horrible musical score. There are some moments in the movie where a certain type of music is necessary and at other times, it is completely uncalled for. But the person who did the music in this movie was not exactly utilizing the music to its fullest potential.
