I broke my heart

I can't decide how I feel about this movie. So am gonna classify it as watch at your own risk and as partially recommended. 

Featuring Mike Ezuruonye, Yvonne Okaro and Yvonne Nelson, the movie had the potential to be great. I even persevered till the end of the movie (can't believe I lasted that long) just to give it a chance.

At the end, I just felt like the writers couldn't decide what direction they wanted to go with the story. One minute Mike and his wife are being lovey dovey, next minute they are arguing about careers, next thing they are becoming distant because wife works too much (which makes no sense since she worked at the bank and we all know banks close early mchteeeeww). Mike, on the other hand, works as a movie director/producer but aparently has more time for family than his wife *rolls eyes*. 

Anyway, they are a family of three (mike, wife and one kid) but can't seem to be able to manage their home (oh btw they also have a cook!). One day, wifey runs into her long lost and trusted childhood friend (Yvonne Nelson) and gets the brilliant idea to help 'said friend' out by offering her shelter and a job. So Yvonne Nelson comes to live with her in her matrimonial home as her guest/house help. And talking of house, that their "house" was just ridiculous!!!! Maybe people actually live in a "house" like that but based on this movie it was unrealistic for this family to live in such a house. The producers didn't try at all when they chose that house. 

Back to the story: the good thing is that it didn't go the typical long-lost-friend-comes-into-matrimonial-home -and-steals-husband/gets-preggos-route ... phew! That is not to say that husband didnt start falling in love w/ said long-lost friend ooo (y'all shoulda seen that one coming). Did I mention that wifey had two coniving, lying, backstabbing bitches as best friends? Little did she know that said besties were plotting the downfall of her marriage.  

My problem with this movie is the unrealistic nature of it. How can a family of three - husband, wife and one child not be able to cope even though they have a cook already(they definitely did not need Yvonne Nelson's help in my opinion!) Besides, every normal woman knows better than to invite another grown ass and beautiful woman into her matrimonial home (doesn't matter how much you trust your husband he is still a man!). Also, which bank employee works past 6pm (you ain't the owner of the bank). And my God, that house was ridiculous (yes i still can't get over that one)... can someone say over-exaggeration? And the wife's mother was just useless when it came to advising her daughter smh! Also, what kind of woman doesn't know her friends? Esp. those she calls best friends! Did I mention that towards the end of the movie, the workaholic wifey suddenly had all the time in the world - typical Gaija movie...no coherence! 

I don't know how i feel about this movie. It would have been good if they had at least made it more realistic. Shrugs, y'all can watch it when you don't have anything better to watch. Honestly it's not as bad as Blackberry Babes or Beyonce and Rihanna. And I actually like the two Yvonne's [not because they are my namesakes ;)] and Mike. So give it a shot at your own risk:

Watch the whole movie either at arodrive2.com or at onlinenigeria.com :)
