Hmmm. . .haven't seen the movie but from the little I've seen from the trailer, it's a substandard movie and the acting was definitely not it. i.e The scenes where the fat white boy was making fun of Genevieve's son, the fight between them, where Genevieve's son was slapped in the Market in Gambia etc all looked fake and unconvincing to me

Hell, even Aki's ''false'' bad tooth & dentition looked totally ridiculous and laughable to me. . . result of bad make-up IMO. Only thing real and convincing to me (from the trailer) was Genevieve's crying and tears and that ain't surprising as na Nollywood actress she be

All in all, the trailer does not inspire and motivate me to go watch it @ the Cinema or buy it when it's released on DVD_{. . .and this is what a trailer is supposed to do}

Lastly, why did Obi Emelonye write, direct and produce the movie? Does he have a problem with the concepts of ''division of labour'' and ''professionalism''?

As far as me dey concerned, na typical Nollywood movie shot (in London & Gambia) with high-definition equipments and made with better technology than most Nollywood productions but the acting and performances get big comma

Nothing spectacular about the movie and it's definitely not worth a visit to the cinema is my humble opinion

I'm not one of those Nollywood bashers and if a Nollywood movie is good, I'll say it is. You can check HERE for my contrasting review of another Nollywood movie to see what I mean

I'm sure you fall into the category of peeps who think Jenifa and Blackberry Babes were awesome movies. . .Shioor!

lovefilm: This movie looks great and I really like the storyline. I think Nigeria should be proud of it's efforts in filmmaking and the quality is definitely getting better and better. If they had big budgets like Hollywood then maybe you could complain but you know what these guys don't have millions and millions of pounds! Get behind your filmmakers and encourage them..don't diss them. That's the problem with Nigerians! We don't support each other's efforts!!!!!!

VillageBoi:

That disgrace of a fool doing the voice that is pretending not to know how to pronounce any name totally kills the trailer. Having said that it's still better than that pretty bad movie 'Mirror Boy'.
If you watch it with the sound off it's a bit more impressive. I like the loads of extras they used.

VillageBoi:

Please let us not use not having big Hollywood budgets as an excuse. There are thousands of awesome small budget films from all over the world but they really think about what 'good' film they can make within their small budget. Secondly as long as we stick to the kpa, kpa, kpa super quick method of making films they will NEVER be good talkless of great. Then some will argue that 'our' films have won awards all over the world. Ah, nameless award ceremonies... there are only THREE movie award ceremonies on the planet that really mean anything.

We can't keep on praising mediocre work just because it's Nigerian. Oh that's true, we do need to praise everything from a country that in HALF a century can't even produce constant electricity!

lovefilm:

Oh dear. This is rich coming from someone who doesn't even live in Nigeria.

ProudUSA: I've seen clips of old Nigerian tv series like New Masquerade, Samanja, Bassey & Co. and so on and I believe they were truly talented, professional actors skilled in their craft far more creative and believable than many Nollywood home videos produced today.
I don't think those old series had high budgets for their quality work.

You don't need millions to tell a good story.

There should be many creative Nigerians out there waiting to make their mark and possibly the current producers will eventually get better.
