Bachelors

After seeing so many Venus Films Productions, I have come to the conclusion that any other reasonable person would which is that Venus Films has been making the same movie for a couple years now, over and over again, with different titles and a different cast – arguably.

Bachelors like you’d expect is a movie about a group of bachelors – three to be specific – with money to throw around and numerous girls at their disposal. Not much else can be said about the movie, because there is not much else to it. If you’ve watched any number of Ghanaian movies, you’re aware that this is usually the storyline of a good percentage of all the ones we get to see. However, here are the only two points at which it is different from most others: 1) There is no porn or any semblance of the aforementioned. 2) The actors in this movie are actually capable of doing some level or the other of acting.

James Gardiner plays the head casanova who manages to dribble three girl who all live in the same apartment by giving different names, numbers, occupations etcetera to each girl. Eddie Watson plays the quintessential gold digger with no twist at all. On the front page he is dating a rich lady who pays his rent and everything else, however undercover he is also dating all his numerous ‘sisters’. Finally, there is Elikem Kumordzif whose story is much simpler than the rest – he is simply trying to get a babe out of his house.

These three together put up a sufficient enough performance to keep the movie going such that even after the viewer realizes that nothing new is about to happen in this movie, the performances are not necessarily terrible enough to cause you to turn it off. The breadwinners of this movie were definitely James Gardiner, Jackie Appiah and Nana Ama McBrown. However, everyone else does put in a fair enough performance.

Not much can be said about this movie because then that would be more content than the movie itself contains.
