Hits
- Plot
The story is an interesting one, the writer tried to weave several stories into one beautiful plot and it worked. A drunk groom sleeps with another woman on his bachelor’s eve, finds out years after that she had twins for him. The male twin’s fiancee comes to work in his house as a maid hence the discovery is made. His spoilt daughter from his marriage practices lesbianism, on discovering this, he draws closer to his long lost twins. - Acting
Some of the actors brought in their A-game. Onyii Alexx portrayed the spoilt brat lesbian who always gets what she wants. Rachel Oniga gave a face to the poor character who had to singlehandedly raise her kids. Mercy Macjoe perfectly portrayed the ghetto raised female who knows how to physically defend herself.
Misses
Acting
- As much as the actors in this movie tried to bring their A-game, there were dry scenes, Alexx Ekubo’s quick acceptance of their father spoilt the expected reaction. There was also very little chemistry between Alexx Ekubo and his supposed fiancee in the movie.
- Picture Quality
The picture quality of this movie is far from being perfect, some scenes had inadequate lighting.
