his next movie might not make this much because a lot of people wont feel interested in watching it in the cinema...they will rather wait for our eastern brothers to bring out the special package grin grin
his next movie will be a hit that is certain . It is all about marketing strategy,he has the money to employ the best marketing brains in the country ,he will get the best story writers and make a lot of noise about it . At times ,the louder u blow ur trumpet ,the more profit u make . Just wait and see

AY is good at imitating people in a funny way not necessarily a good quality for a stand up comedien. As for our movies and home videos, I feel it's hightime we got our own Rotten Tomatoes.

I was so disappointed at the movie. I didn't even bother about watching it to the end. I was just too disappointed. All through the parts I watched, I was waiting to get the part that was worth the hype but never found it. That guy should continue being a manager cos he is not funny one bit.

he was just shouting Warri Warri. Chai

After watching the little wonder, "Extended Family", that Bovi conjured before he became the Bovi we all know today, I got the reassurance that Bovi would not only have acted the Akpors role well, he is naturally, by extension, Akpors. Bovi is 'Akpors' personified. He's so talented, he's so natural, his pidgin is so on fleek. He wouldn't need to struggle so hard to act it out; he's just a confirmed "Warri boy", no two ways about that. If Bovi had taken up that Akpors role, the movie without doubt, would have fetched them two times what they made from it.

Watch "Extended Family", I bet you "Onoriode" would in just one episode, give you the satisfaction that "Akpors" would never give you in the entire duration of the "30 Days In Atlanta".

Ese (Mercy Johnson) to Akpors (AY), "Arrange make you give yourself prestige. This my designers nose no dey see you oh..." cheesy The movie go well sha. grin

Wow i thought i was the only one who felt that movie was whack. Every scene of it was just a fiasco. I think Bovi would have been the best person to act as Akpos.

So much forceful comedy, dry jokes, unconvincing scenes etc That movie is not just it.

Someone else should re-produce that movie and make sure to include Bovi particularly.

No nro i think you are getting it twisted. The op is only thinking out loud which is perfectly ok.

Hi ya'll, I'm a first time OP (whatever OP means) so please apologies on any typo error or whatever.

Though this post is coming when the movie is already old but i just felt the need to create the thread afterall.

Ok enuff talk lemme get straight to it. I think the movie 30 days in Atlanta was unnecessarily hyped for the following reasons;

1. Ay was not fit for the role; Ay does not have that rugged n razz personality to play the role of Akpors. He seemed too serious for the role, more like forcing himself to be an Akpors personality. A Bovi or Charles Inojie interpretation of the role would have made more sense.

2. Story line was poor; Like seriously what was he trying to portray, that Akpors is just a local Warri boy who got lucky, went abroad and couldn't behave himself in a cultured way? Seriously?

3.His comedy line in the movie when he got employed as a part-time comedian was terrible; Ay like seriously u could have done berra than that. Dat was whack. If na so ur shows dey be u for no get one kobo for account.

Let me state that I'm not in any way hating on the successfull comedian's effort (before Nairalanders go start their own wahala), for what its worth it was a good movie but constructive criticism also sell movies.

For those who haven't seen the movie make sure u get a copy of it and let us know what u think. U can also add ur opinion for those that have already seen the movie.

the op came to a forum of over 1million member to criticize and condemn a product and u call that thinking out aloud!!!! Maybe when u labour for 12months to bring out a product and spend millions on it ,you will be very very happy for someone to come here and rubbish all ur effort and destroy ur works !! We always feel good doing to others but when it comes to our own turn we beg such critics not to go public but communicate with us. Don't support what the op is doing ,the op can keep his thinking to himself or herself nobody cares about what he thinks . Ay surely will have a facebook ,twitter or a social media account where his fan relate with him fully ,why didn't the op go there Do unto others as you will be done by.

You are all on point my take on this trend is that Kunle Afolayan or Desmond Elliot could have Directed the movie to put touch of naija and more ideals of warri guy attitude plus professionalism to it whilst Bovi could be the Main Actor. And Ay takes the credit because if one is to be honest BOVI is a better comedian than AY at Lenght comedy to Bovi flows natural unlike Ay who has to act a scene or two to make people laugh on stage.
