-Story: [2 out of 5] Looking at the story alone, it was not that amazing of a story yet it was entertaining. I mean regardless of the fact that we had seen it countless times before, it was ok. I wasn’t fascinated, yet I wasn’t puking….Wait! Yes oh! I was puking all over the place in the female cult scenes. You know what I don’t grasp about Nollywood movies is this. When they have male cult scenes, the guys are fully attired in…yes horribly unfashionable clothing… but still they are fully clothed. But when it comes to female cult scenes, mbanu, they must to wear bra and pant only! It had to have been the most disgusting sight in the entire movie and they didn’t even choose good looking girls oh! All the girls looked like they seriously needed to get acquainted with this heavenly creation called… THE GYM!
-Originality: [1 out of 5] There was nothing that original about it. It went just like everyother movie with a similar storyline and the best part was that…just like every other movie… in the end, they all lived happily ever after. But I guess the difference was that this time around, they decided to do a “ringa ringa roses, a bucket full of…(whatever)” circle at the end of the movie
-Predictability: [0 out of 5] I am scratching my head trying to find what was not predictable about this movie and I can’t find it. If this movie had ended after sisters on fire, without moving on to royalty apart, it would have had a much better rating.
-Directing/Editing: [0 out of 5] I have a couple problems as regards many things within this movie and I think it would be fair to blame them all on directing and editing (no that was not a typing mistake, I just said I would blame them ALL on Directing and Editing) Besides it is their jobs to check for these things. My first complaint has to do with the lines. I thought the editor of these movies was actually supposed to go through them and correct the mistakes or cut those scenes out for God’s sake. First of all it was Tonto, she said (in broad day light) “It’s Melissa, she always makes a MOLE OUT OF AN ANTHILL” (cough) (cough). In case you didn’t notice, I’ll point it out for you, the correct phrase is an anthill out of a mole. Na how you wan take make a mole out of an anthill na? Next up was John Dumelo and his gbagaun, he said to Ini Edo “Tomorrow evening will be the most LOVELIEST night we’ve ever spent together”. Someborri bow down for the arrow abeg! The last gbagaun for me had to be the person that said, “Baby, you don’t seems to understance.” Another fault that I noticed every body within this mistake was lack of education, I mean for one they went around calling their shameless little female cults fraternities. Last time I checked, fraternities were for males and sororities for females. The definition of a fraternity is “A male students’ society in a university or college.” I really can’t seem to fathom why anybody would want to put us Nollywood viewers in pain, this movie could have been cut into two parts or at least three if they had cut out all the unnecessary scenes with people dancing in their car or a car reversing, or people dancing. I wanted to scream “I GET IT OH! MOVE ON!” To top it all off, it was one of those movies that took five minutes to start off and that is not including trailers of other movies in the beginning oh!
-Acting quality: [2 out of 5] There were a lot of fillers in this movie, and by fillers I mean desperate people who have zero talent when it comes to acting and are so desperate to be in a movie that they would do anything, yet, they do not know how to act. An example where the girls in white bra in the cult scene. On the left is a picture of a girl in this movie that I have seen in a lot of Nollywood movies. I always thought that with time she would get better but by now this girl should have had at least 5 movies under her arsenal and yet she can not act to save her life. On a different note, to the right is a picture of a guy named Eric Nwadi, he played the character of Roy. I have probably seen him in a movie before because he looks familiar, however, he seems to have a tad bit of talent there.
-Setting and Costume: [0 out of 5] On the left is a photo of our little goldilocks in this movie. Through out the movie, I was wondering, what is the purpose of this? Is it some form of fashion that I am behind on or what? I just thought I should put the picture up so that you can tell me how fashionable it is?Well that is not even my problem with this movie as regards setting and costume, and neither is the fact that the furniture in John Dumelo’s rich apartment was arranged disproportionately. None of those are my major issues, but since we are talking about John, let me yan you him tori. So John Dumelo eventually gets rich in this movie right? And you know say as a symbol of wealth, they must to upgrade am right. New House. New Car. New Look??? I swear, once he became rich his first outfit reminded me of Joseph in the bible’s coat of many colors. I wish I had a picture. The thing was reflecting so many different colors of the rainbow in all it’s shiny grandeur. God help us! My final two queries as regards costume are Ini Edo and the character called Faith. Let me start with Faith, in the beginning of the movie her hair was haphazard and looked comical, but I thought it was because she was broke. You know now, no money for food talkless of brazillian weave…lol. But after she got rich the hair took a tragic turn for the worse. I was just wondering why oh why does she have a brown weave on her head in the last scene. My only query with Ini was that she wore only one earring. Every time she wore earrings in the movie she would only wear one and leave the other ear empty???
-Video and Audio Quality [2 out of 5]On Point
-Soundtrack [1 out of 5] I liked the beat but I could not stand the person who was singing it. It was as though the musician was lyrically handicapped or something.
