You need to see this movie. I am not trying to say its too fantastic, but much capital may have been expended to put it out. Though the story line is the same, the plot is ok. The embarrasing aspect of it is when one of the characters took a convertable home with his friend to see his fada. The cotonou public seem worse compared to Nigeria. Just watch it. It's subtitled in English; your opinion will be respected. |

Remember Laku's dad lived in the slum. Its only normal to have people gather when a white mercedes convertible rides in. the storyline ain't special though but i like the shooting. Big ups to Kelani. |

You're both right--the storyline is the same boy-meets-girl stuff, but Tunde Kelani sets up interesting scenes and the Nigerian/Beninois crossover angle makes the film unique for a Nollywood production. I was really disappointed by the sloppy scripting and reliance on coincidences--I don't want to spoil the movie for anyone who hasn't watched it, but the plot is lacking in sophistication in many ways. I think Akanni/Laha/Amzat Abdel Hakim is some kind of singer (I hope, anyway), which might be why there's so much crappy singing in the movie. Definitely better than your average Naija film, but it still lags behind the best movies from other places. |

Abeni has received critical acclaim at film festivals around the world. This means something about it must be very good. I think the cinematography is excellent, the acting is decent and the cross-cultural angle makes it classy. It's not the best that TK has done but he has shown once again that he can produce magic with a little budget |

angelz: A slum is not a building. people own houses in slums. |
