Bolajiiiii, such a funny and stingy guy! You can’t be completely mad at him though 😀 Oga Bolaji was a simple, relatable, and clean entertainment
~Worth Watching~

Delicious
—One thing we commend this movie for was the various shots of the city, people, market, and everyday activities; it made us feel at home, and right away we followed the story
—The cast did so well, big ups to the little girl Ajua (Jasmine Fakunle), she was such a darling, you just wanted to give her kisses.
Nothing to say about Ikponmwosa Gold (playing Bolaji) and Gregory Ojefua (playing Omoh), such organic actors. Omowunmi Dada (playing Victoria), girl, we see you 😍
—What made Oga Bolaji particular was that the screenplay zoomed in on everyday people who hustle for a better life and Bolaji was an example of those who got tired of trying and decided to live off of others.
The movie talked about valuable aspects such as continuous perseverance, responsibilities, and being your brother’s keeper. Quite appreciated the dialogues between Bolaji and his friends which raised solid points on the state of affairs.
Andddd the ending scenes were special and different from what we had in mind
—Great work on the location selections that worked in unison with the movie’s atmosphere

Bland
—The color grading didn’t do justice to the images and score editing wasn’t refined
—Audio suffered a bit too
—Not having new characters introduced during the movie gave off a monotonous tone as we kept on seeing the same faces doing repetitive activities
