Waterfalls
Tonto Dikeh, Van Vicker, Olu Jacobs, Patience Ozokwor, Bayray McNwizu(Bhaira Mcwizu), Nneka Onyekuru, Ime Bishop Umoh
Tells the story of Chidera a young studious girl who has no time for boys. Brian, on the other hand even though very studious still finds time for all the girls. He meets Chidera and decides he wants her but Chidera completely ignores him. He chases her till she falls but is his professed love for real or is she just another card in the stack?
The story doesn’t end there. There’s the ever rising Ime Bishop Umoh to make you crack your ribs and forever young Mama Gee who tries to look even younger in this movie by chasing ‘small small’ boys. Watch Mama Gee play a whole new role in Waterfalls.
Tonto: I missed my period
Van: Period? What period? Who was the lecturer?
Tonto: Anytime I think about Bryant, I just… loose my breathe”
Bhaira: You no fit breathe? You go just die there
Bishop: I am a scholar. I won’t allow you to make me or reduce me into some form of intellectual mimicry
Bishop: “The marriage of ‘oxi’ and ‘moron’ gives what we know today as oxymoron in English Literature.”
***to the students***
“Everybody say OXI”
***class responds***
“Now say MORON!!!”

-Story: [2 out of 5] A nice story with a hurried and ridiculous ending. Loved it in the beginning but couldn’t stand the end.
-Originality: [0 out of 5] The brother and sister love story is definitely something we have seen before with Ramsey Noah and Uche Jombo in a movie, of which the title I remember not.
-Predictability: [3 out of 5] The ending of this movie is not exactly something you see coming.
-Directing/Editing: [2 out of 5] No apparent cinematography. Many inconsistencies (like the scene where the girls were running from Didi… first one was wearing heels. Pan left. Pan right. Suddenly she is wearing flats). Anti-climactic ending. Overly prolonged scenes in some instances.
-Acting quality: [3 out of 5] Stand out performance for me was a tie between Tonto and Bhaira… Tonto carried the role well but I loved Bhaira the most. She portrayed her character to the Tee. Nneka Onyekuru! I have never seen you in a movie before and after this and hopefully it won’t ever happen. Not the worst actress on earth but not a good actress either. This has to be Patience’s best role yet… I loved the originality of the role. Show us that Patience is more than an evil mother-in-law, she can be an amazing mother figure. The lady who played Tonto’s mother, Wendy Boardman, is not someone that I settle well with. I remember seeing her in one movie where her family was wiped out when she was a child in front of her, and she grows up and haunts the killers down one by one… let’s just say since then I’ve been praying to never see her on screen again (God was not so kind). Ime. Bishop. Umoh… o boy o, he made this movie worth watching with his unending hilarious cracks, and amazing body language. Van Vicker did as Van Vicker does and the extras sucked
NOTE: Nigerian actress Bhaira Mcwizu is now Bayray McNwizu
