~Worth Watching~
Delicious
—We have to give it up for Lasisi Elenu (playing Temi) 👏🏾 There’s nothing better than a lead actor who owns his role.
This was our first time seeing him on screen and he blew us away. He really maintained the Pidgin English accent during the moments of his spell and even went the extra mile to make more grammatical mistakes than needed. It was soooo hilarious
Where did Bucci Franklin (playing the street boy) get his British accent from?? 😆 This guy is a hidden gem, so much talent. He was the thug with a British accent, totally unrecognizable!
—The Razz Guy was a fresh narrative that opened our eyes to some bad habits we have when it comes to always correcting people’s grammar.
Aside from the laughter, we examined ourselves and realized something important underlined by the janitor (Frank Donga): “Is it fair to regard people based on eloquence? I don’t think eloquence should be rated over character” That says it all right there
—It was great to see the diverse cast such as the street boy, Temi’s posh girlfriend Nadine (Nancy Isime), Nadine’s fancy family, Temi’s loud and amusing sister (Omotunde David) and housemate (Broda Shaggi), as well as the fraudulent pastor (MC Lively).
They all enriched the screenplay with their special touch
—Great work on the costume and make-up designs 😀
Bland
—As with any comedy genre, you expect engaging and entertaining editing techniques but in this case, we failed to see any
—Kaghor Idhebor produced dull images with no exciting camera movements to reflect a comic atmosphere; plus, images were unfortunately flat with no vibrant colors
