If you are searching for a Nigerian movie to watch, you might want to try this out, if you just want to laugh and don’t want to think, but this didn’t fulfil any for me, as I found it very uninteresting to watch and I struggled with it, it took me ages to finally get to the end.
After spending weeks without finding an exciting Nollywood movie to watch, I was curious to check this movie out, especially as it was trending in the Top 10 during its first week of release. I assume the hype was largely due to the inclusion of Chioma Chukwuka Akpotha and Omoni Oboli in the cast. Unfortunately, the movie fell short for me. It was cleanly shot, but the storyline felt flat and was uninspiring for me. It neither challenged my thoughts nor kept me engaged. The action scenes were overstretched, and the attempts at humor failed to make me laugh or even feel entertained. The story follows a married woman who is plagued by extreme aggression and anger issues. She would fight anyone and everyone to prove her point, even her husband. One day, while her mom was trying to separate her from another fight in the market, tragedy struck, her mother was knocked down by a bike and tragically lost her life. On her deathbed, her mother begged her to stop fighting. The rest of the movie explores whether she could honor that promise or not, the movie didn’t resonate with me in anyway. It lacked depth, and at just an hour long, it felt like watching one movie forever, I just couldn’t wait to arrive at the very end. The direction and performances didn’t leave a lasting impression. While it might appeal to some, it wasn’t my kind of movie at all.

To my verdict I would score this movie 5/10. It was a terrible for me, I didn’t enjoy it at all, it fell short of all my expectations, I guess I expected more than I received, but then some people might enjoy it, for me it wasn’t intellectually engaging enough.
