Former Big Brother Naija housemate Maria Chike has shared her thoughts on filmmaker Mo Abudu’s Netflix film Chief Daddy 2:Going for Broke, saying it was funny, Igbere TV reports.

The 28-year-old said this in a Twitter post on Tuesday amid the criticism trailing the movie.

“Omg I’m just watching Chief daddy 2 and boy it’s hella funny! All I want to know is who served them the Nigerian rice and stew in Dubai? @BRODAshaggiNG May I please have the hookup,” she wrote.

Since its release on Netflix on New Year’s Day, the comedy film has largely been berated by movie enthusiasts and critics.

Directed by Niyi Akinmolayan and produced by EbonyLife’s Mo Abudu, the film is a sequel to the original Chief Daddy film, which premiered in 2018.

Despite its star-studded cast, including the rapper Falz, skit maker Broda Shaggi and Nollywood stars such as Joke Silva, Kate Henshaw, Ini Edo, Shaffy Bello, Funke Akindele and late Rachel Oniga, the general consensus is that the sequel would have benefited from better screenplay and direction.

Reacting to the film on Twitter on Sunday, screenwriter Dami Elebe said that Nollywood filmmakers should pay much attention to casting talented actors and not influencers.

“Anyway, I’m happy people are having the conversation. Maybe some people in Nollywood will stop hiring writers after they’ve cast and got location. Maybe some of you will give story development a chance and also pay well for it. Maybe you people will stop hiring only famous people, confusing them as influencers. Maybe talent will thrive this year,” she wrote.

Another Twitter user @Innancoshe called the movie “an atrocious hodgepodge of terrible acting and directing and ghastly writing.”

“I regretted wasting my data to watch this seriously, how una pack stars full this film yet na rubbish una produce?” @Bayobigbun asked.

Meanwhile, in an Instagram post on Sunday, Mo Abudu celebrated the movie for being “the number one in Nigeria today” on Netflix.

Obviously the producer and director as well as Mo Abudu find it funny too.

What makes you think they do?

It's just a pathetic money grab. The only reason Netflix would accept such a production is base tokenism, let's have diverse movies on Netflix otherwise if you are to judge it with the standard of other Netflix originals, Chief Daddy 2 should be in the trash bin. Almost all the actors on the production phoned it in and it has terrible writing and a plot that does not even attempt to make sense.

I'm in no position to critic or review the movie.
But my point is if someone finds it funny even amidst all the negative reviews, you can't fault that.

There are so many movies I enjoy but when you read their reviews online they make you feel it's the worst movie ever.

Maria mentioned the part of the movie that she found funny,I think that's the part she finds humorous probably cos she can relate to it. We can't fault her on that.

Even The Ghost and the Tout received so much negative reviews but some viewers found it funny.

My point being theres no need bashing her cos she found it funny.

Aidejay:
the girl sabi constructive criticism.

she made a salient point but she first use "hella funny" and "rice and stew" to cover up.

this kind thing dem no dey use full mouth talk am you go need to adjust your tone small make nollywood witches and wizard no use that one to frustrate your career.
