Delicious
—Oh goodness! Where to even start from??? Fluid storytelling, from beginning to end, we were captivated by the narrative. It was so hilarious to see ‘pastors’ Tolu and John planning this scam: they were so clumsy when trying to convince the sick girl’s father of their expertise.
The moment of prayer was the icing on the cake 🤣 The amateurism was too funny as they didn’t know what to say or do; the pastors took us on an amazing ride that we laughed to the point we couldn’t breathe!
—Wrong Con was a great blend of humor, suspense, twist, and originality. Thank you Charles Obi Emere
—It was amazing to see Kelechi Udegbe (playing pastor John) in a comic role. He proved that he’s capable of doing much more than the bad boy typecast. No comment on Baaj Adebule (playing pastor Tolu) and Ijeoma Grace Agu (playing the sick girl); these are fine and natural actors right there
—The art direction, visual effects, and lighting teams did a good job in the praying room scene to heighten the intense mood
—In addition to laughter, Wrong Con reminded us to be very careful about what we wish for

Bland
—The sick girl’s voice wasn’t quite audible, don’t know if this was intentional or a technical issue. Either way, it kinda played along nicely during the praying scene
