-Story: [0 out of 5] From the beginning of the movie, I expected a lot more because I liked the perspective the story was coming from. I had a ‘vision’ (quote on quote) of what I expected from the story. Even though I didn’t know what it had to do with the title (and honestly even after watching the movie, I still don’t know what the title has to do with anything) I just expected a more intriguing story line. It almost pisses me off that such a beautiful beginning was ruined. It’s like the story writer had a marvelous mission, and then he watched “Hearts of Men” and got derailed. Regardless, there is really no justifications for this magnitude of failure.
-Originality: [1 out of 5] It was not very different for a Nollywood movie, but it was different for this era of Nollywood movies. What I mean is in the past with Chico Ejiro and Teco Benson, people like Susan Peters and Rita Nzelu and Genevieve Nnaji did not become ashawos just for the heck of it or to spite their fathers. They did it for a reason, like to help their families. Back then our movies had morals. No matter how long they were or how bad the acting or directing or graphics or audio, the movie still had a point. And THAT is the reason why people were addicted. That is the reason why families sat together to watch a Nollywood movie in their living rooms on a Sunday afternoon after church. THAT is the origin of what Nollywood really means to people, what it stands for, what it represents (at least what it used to represent). This story is different because in a very little way (a very very very little way) it is reminiscent of a movie that teaches a moral. Then it goes off track and gears off immediately Chika Ike’s character lands in Port Harcourt.
-Predictability: [1 out of 5] I don’t know how anybody can try to predict this movie, because it’s hard enough to watch it. It took me a good three weeks to watch this movie. I would start the movie, and after a few scenes, I would shout “what nonsense” and stop the movie. Then in the next 3 days I’d continue for lack of a better movie. God will help us
-Directing/Editing: [0 out of 5] I am really pissed at the story writers for not making this movie into what it could have been. With such an immaculate story founded in the beginning, and with the many intriguing directions that they could have spun the movie off at, they chose the most ridiculous, overdone and belittling plot line ever. Again, MAY GOD HELP US!!! Plus did I mention how the Editor misspelled Olu ‘Jakobs’ name?
-Acting quality: [2 out of 5] Well, I still have my doubts about Halima Abubakar’s acting (on left) for those of you who don’t know, Ms. Abubakar was named Actress of the Year by our ‘dear friends’ at city people…. Besides that, some of the general acting was not very convincing.
-Setting and Costume [2 out of 5] Besides the fact that most of the characters were stark naked, the costumes were good.No major flaws with settings.
-Video and Audio Quality [0 out of 5] Dear Nollywood, Please attempt to make your night scenes visible. Sincerely, I can not see in the dark. The audio quality is equally faulty as I was forced to keep my hands on the volume controller.
-Soundtrack [1 out of 5] The first attempt at a soundtrack was an epic fail after which consistency was lost
A Lot Like Love
