Sweetest Fruit
Tonto Dikeh, Johannes Maier, Ejiro Okuerame, Onyi Alex
Tonto Dikeh's character lives with Dylan (Johannes Maier) a man she has helped through his unemployment. They both end up falling in love with each other and getting engaged. Dylan is unable to get a job and so he takes up his hobby, singing, as a career. Tonto Dikeh's character is not too thrilled about this but in the end she sees wisdom in his decision and joins him in singing as well. Meanwhile, Dave (Johannes Maier) is a rich owner of a multi million naira company. He spends his time indulging in many different women and alcohol until he meets a woman whom he falls in love with. He hires her as his 'confidential secretary' with duties extending to the bedroom. Unknown to him, she has a live in boyfriend whom she stays with and fends for. She claims to love him but does she really? Dave and Dylan are look alikes and everyone confuses the one for the other? Will this resemblance lead to their downfall?
Sweetest Fruit 1 & 2. Viewer discretion is definitely advised!

-Story: [1 out of 5] The story for this movie (if there really was one) was extremely haphazardly done. The story was beyond forward and some of the lines in the beginning were extremely unrealistic to the extent of being puke-worthy. In between all the things happening too fast and the viewer being beyond confused one is also made to deal with all the unnecessary and innumerous sex scenes. Yet in the end the dilemma was left unsolved. How is it that both Dylan and Dave look exactly alike? A question… left unanswered
-Originality: [0 out of 5] I can’t place my finger on one aspect of this story that I would consider accusing of being original. Is it the twin story? Hello… Ramsey Noah in “Dangerous Twins”, Genevieve Nnaji in “caught in the act”, Mercy Johnson in “My sisters tears”. In fact, Ini Edo now went and crowned the entire phenomenon as a triplet in “unforeseen”.
-Predictability: [0 out of 5] If you didn’t see the end coming then you were watching another movie.
-Directing/Editing: [1 out of 5] Lacks professionalism especially in the ‘quest’ scene where Johannes is supposed to be singing alone on stage and then shocked by the appearance of Tonto Dike from out of nowhere (you know now? The way it’s done in Hollywood)… well let’s just say it was done in a tacky manner…that and many many scenes. And I didn’t understand why every now and then Johannes’ character would claim to have written a new song and then come out singing some Diana Ross song, needless to say his voice was not that hot (in fact, it was extremely cold).
-Acting quality: [1 out of 5] There were only 3 actual actors in this movie. Tonto Dikeh. Muna Obiekwe (speaking of whom, needs to loose weight). And then the young lady at the beer parlor. Everyone else (especially Johannes Maier in my opinion) needs to quit acting or go to acting school.
-Setting: [2 out of 5] Ok
-Costume/Make-Up: [1 out of 5] Failed to cover up Tonto Dikeh’s tattoos, especially considering that she was playing the role of a Mary-Amaka (churchy female or S.U almost). Muna Obiekwe needed to either loose weight or loose the tiny tops. And if Johannes is to keep acting, it’s best they found a store for long people with suits that don’t look make him look so lanky.
-Props and Graphics: [2 out of 5] The gun shot was not well done
-Video Quality: [2 out of 5] Ok
-Audio Quality [3 out of 5] Good
-Soundtrack: [3 out of 5] Ok
-Musical Score: [3 out of 5] Nicely done
Playing Safe

Y IS IT DAT ONLY D ARTISTS AND DIRECTORS ARE BEING RECOGNISED?NO RECOGNIT’N 4 WRITERS AND ODA CREW MEMBERS.ARE DS PEOPLE NOT PART OF FILM MAKING?
Definitely every one involved in the movie deserves recognition. NR is structured as such that only a limited amount can be linked to. Hence, we have set up the website in a manner that promotes searchability. And as actors and directors and producers are easier for the audience to remember and are more searched, we decided to use those as our main links. However, if a particular crew member’s contribution was outstanding in a movie, mention is always made in the review to reflect this. It just might not be a clickable link.

hello everyone.
Is there a part 3 to the Sweetest Fruit? Because it didn’t end right at all
This comment has been removed by the author.
Is there a 3rd part? Well… I’ll presume if the movie has a 3rd part then it should be in your video store
Well… I watch them for free online
Hmm… I’m actually a big proponent of supporting the industry. But, I’m not one to judge…. all I have to say is that I can’t help you with an illegal link
I didn’t know YouTube was illegal
Yes! YouTube streaming is illegal… the only legal Nigerian movies on YouTube are Nollywood Love movies. And… Nollywood Love did not upload “Sweetest Fruit”, hence, making it illegal
And how about Naijapals? Is that illegal too?
Well, Naijapals don’t upload movies they link out to other websites so basically, they provide you the link to watch it on youtube.
In a way, Yes! This is endorsing and promoting the spread of illegal movies but if you notice they mostly link out to Nollywoodlove videos which are legal (and then again they probably only link out to Nollywood Love because iRokoTV is constantly shutting down all illegal movie uploaders on youtube so they have no other options)
Are you from Africa?
Nigerian! Born and bred
Ok thanks
I have to duff my hat to you for sitting through ‘Leave my Wife’ and then this one in quick succession. How do you do it? After shutting my eyes a few times within the first few seconds and nearly puking all under 3 minutes of the movie, I gave up. I want to be polite so I wont say more than that.
Off to look for Asiri. But what I desperately want is a ‘Memories of my Heart’ quality movie. Am I asking for too much?
O my dayz, thank you for understanding! Honestly, I think I need an award too lol
But I felt I always review good movies, it’s time to add a little spice with the crappy movies (if that makes any sense).
Lol, Memories of my heart was good but most people weren’t in awe of it… then again I’m biased toward rom coms lol.
Let me know how Asiri goes…
This is where bad quality of movies step in…bad movie and bad act and bad story…
I want to suggest a yoruba movie titled asiri(secret) by daniel ademinokan.it will console you.dnt be fooled by the movie the potforlio by martha ankomah it is the same as government babes.keep your money or send it to me order than buy 1-4 of rubbish
Alright, I will look out for Asiri. I’ve had the movie, the portfolio on my list of movies-to-watch for the longest but I’m not a Martha Ankomah fan so I’ve been postponing it.
Government babes… well… with a title like that, the movie can wait.
Thanks
