madam can you include your source??

I read this exact same thing on kamdora.com few days ago.

you made a few additions and changes eh.
"Comedian AY‘s sophomore movie, A Trip to Jamaica premiered at the cinemas across Nigeria on the 30th of September 2016 and although I wasn’t such a fan of his debut movie, 30 Days in Atlanta starring AY and Ramsey Nouah , I decided to see what this could be since Funke Akindele , the one we all too know as Jenifa was also co-starring.
Even though I didn’t get to see the movie from its very inception (got into it three minutes late), I began watching it with the hope that I would enjoy it. But did I?
As the minutes rolled by in the dark room of the cinema, I realised that I had been scammed with an overhyped movie production. I must give it to AY for a job well done in making us all feel that we would be missing big time if we didn’t see this movie. I would not totally make a joke of this work of art but rather encourage more creativity in the writing of not just the next movies’ scripts but for most Nollywood films.
When the actors in a comedy movie try too hard to amuse the audience, it usually does not end too well. This was not far from the case with A Trip to Jamaica. Also, the sound quality was quite wack. The effects sometimes were too loud that actual words were barely audible. At a point, I thought the movie was about two adults goofing around the world.
The movie would have been worth the while and money for me if it had a stronger plot. The great sides to the movie, however, was the fantastic acting performance by AY, Funke Akindele, Nse Ikpe-Etim and members of the cast. Also, the shooting locations in Lagos, Atlanta and Montego Bay in Jamaica were top notch. I had my moments of laughter too with some of the comical lines and actions by the actors.
At the end of the movie, I would say that I had really high expectations for the movie which were not met. It, therefore, follows that if you still intend to watch A Trip to Jamaica after reading this review, don’t hope to be falling off your chair in laughter from the hilarity in the film, just smile and go back home.
Thank you for reading my two cents on the most hyped movie on this side of the Sahara."

Thats the review by kamdora,read it slowly!Then you can ask for my source again.Thanks.

I didn't find 30 days in Atlanta amusing, so why would I watch a sequel when I know it would be the case of a frog and a toad arguing amongst themselves on who is prettier?
so you mean you didn't laugh when they went to visit uncle Richard that loves cooking

You are talking as if you know wetin dey happen.

If MetaCritic.com and RottenTomatoes.com handle that film for you, you will know that reacting here on Nairaland will be a child's play

I wasn't talking, I was typing.

Yes, Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes are professional film review websites and they have modalities. That's why you see stuff like; "63% of critics gave the film a positive rating based on 200 reviews, with an average score of 6.4/10....or "the film holds a 55/100 rating, based on 141 reviews.

'...Chicago Sun-Times gave the film  3 1⁄2 out of 4 stars... Rolling Stone rated it two stars out of a possible four.'

Yes it is normal for films to be reviewed on release but if u read what I just posted, you'll see professionalism being applied. Scores are given based on a large number of reviews by experienced professional film reviewers, and the high and low points of the movie are always factored.

In this parts, we just copy without thinking. You are stating that it's okay to criticize because Rotten tomatoes and Metacritic are doing it but you failed to find out how they go about it.
Re: My Review Of Ay's A Trip To Jamaica Movie by MrWhaley: 11:20am On Oct 09, 2016
Most of you here are jumping upandan,screaming that Funke Akindele isn't funny.
Well,I have watched Jenifa's Diary Seasons 1-6 and anyone that has watched that movie(especially from Season 3 upwards) and still concludes that Funke isn't funny either has a psychological problem or strong family issues.

Life is too short to be a cynic. You will just end up being bitter and utterly melancholic.

we need a Rotten tomato type website for Nollywood really. This film houses be dishing us mediocre content for ages. We need more of this critics to make dem think twice before coming out with rubbish.

30 days in Atlanta isn't funny in the slightest, grossly overrated. Neat storyline, very very poor execution.

The moment i heard about this movie some months ago, i mentally rated it a "must-watch" movie.To be honest,i dunno which is more worse between this and Bovi's "its her day" movie.

I really had high hopes about this movie (come on,its a sequel to AY's 30 days to Atlanta).First of all,Olamide's performance in the first scene was disgraceful to say the least.His lip sync of his Shakitibobo song was off key,left me wondering if he had any real musical talent.

How do i put this nicely?What the hell,I'd just say it,the movie was an EPIC FAIL.Ay should have stuck with the success he recorded with 30 days in Atlanta.Damn,how hard would it be to leave when the ovation is loudest?

The movie is one which offered me two moments of laughter, when I should have been losing count. Sadly, the anticipated comedy movie has lots of jokes falling flat - jokes that make it unexciting to watch.

Watching "A Trip to Jamaica" was like sitting through a boring reunion where you find everyone and everything annoying, but still sit through, hoping to find a connect.(I had to o,afterall i paid na). Unfortunately, the connection didn't come. Not from the cast, not from the story, and certainly not from the few funny scenes!

I'd say the comedy didn't come naturally for the characters at all. Even Funke Akindele wasn't any better than AY.The movie is below par because they were basically trying too hard to amuse the audience (and you know how that ends...Disaster).

Again,the sound quality was really poor.I could barely hear most of the conversations,while some scenes were too loud.The patoranking and Cynthia morgan scenes were not even close to funny or necessary in my opinion.

When the movie ended,i was relieved,like how did i sit through this?I thought AY would surpass my expectations considering the success of his earlier movie.

If you loved "30 Days to Atlanta,' you would definitely find "A Trip to Jamaica" less interesting!

NB:These are my thoughts on the movie,you may like it afterall.

Nigerians have a very poor or should i say weird taste in comedy. You'll sit with them and watch an American comedy with funny innuendoes and real foolishness that will make u almost laugh your guts out and it is one Okon who acts like a deranged epileptic patient thats funny to them. I think we have too much people with virtually non-existent IQ in this country so movie producers make dumb stuffs for them.

Thank you..there was a thread about funny American series and I was shocked only a few found " The Big Bang Theory"funny

real comedy is subtle and requires a litlle thinking to bring out the joke..not the imbelic and insulting acts that we call comedy. Even that young girl, Daniella , that insults elders that is popular is not funny to me.

God bless you!

I think it has to do with the level of IQ of majority of Nigerians..Nigerian comedians are just dry and force things...Is there anyone here that can match Trevor Noah ? No.

BTW, I love Big Bang Theory like Kilode!

Really? So if you are sold a bad product, you buy it happily because you don't want to ruin someone 's income?

That was just an individual's opinion and does not count for the general public. The thread should've been left hidden without bringing it to the notice of the general public aimed at spoiling the minds of others.

negative review results from release of 'substandard' product...its a wake up call to AY...u should be happy for this review.as it helps in bring the best out of producers.

Talking about "substandard", may i ask you how many "up-to-standard products" we have in this country?

How can he make a good movie when he goes about engaging security men in fights. Making good movies requires better brain power than Ay has. He should try thuggery, I'm sure he will be good at that. Oniranu!

Don't care for the Jamaican movie. I just can't wait to see the movie that features Shola Shobowale and Wande Cole in it. It comes out in December. Forgotten the tittle of the move though. I think it will be a bomb.

lols @ rotten tomatoes. Those ones dey finish work for movie criticism. I gave up on DSTV when I discovered most of the movies they dish out for us had poor reviews.

Only in Nigeria is criticism seen as hate. People make good money from it in developed countries, it is actually a talent to look at something and find a fault grin.
