Disclaimer: I saw this movie a long time ago, it's basically been sitting behind-the-scenes as a draft post and I am trying to clean up and publish all my incomplete draft posts. So this is one of them. I still remember the basic koko of the movie but I can't do a very detailed review because I don't remember most of the details. And nope I can't be bothered to go re-watch it now #aintnobodygottimeforthat!
Starring:
Ramsey Nouah - Andrew
Desmond Elliot - Calvin
Monalisa Chinda - Mildred
Chisom Oz-Lee - Ifeanyi
Susan Peters - Nkiru
Uru Eke - Jessica
Plot Summary:
Mildred, the "god-is-my-strength-thus-i-shall-not-fight-for-myself-and-kids widow who returns to Nigeria with her kids to mourn her husband/their father. However, they are met with animosity from their in-laws (specifically the frustrated-devil's-incarnate-sister-in-law who is the major instigator) who accuse Mildred of killing her husband, and decide to make her life miserable until she confesses to her crimes. Her sister-in-law, Ifeanyi, basically makes it her life's mission to see to it that Mildred goes through all the widowhood rites, and even seizes her passport and that of her kids so that they can’t return to UK. In the bid to find some peace of mind, she (Mildred) goes to church and from there she meets this man, Andrew, who follows her home. As the movie progresses, we find out more about Andrew - who is he? why does he care so much about a woman he barely knows? do they fall in love and live happily ever after? hehe I kid I kid lol ... Meanwhile, her wayward-British-brought-up-spoiled-brat of a daughter is running amok and fighting with her mother over Andrew because she has the hots for him. Gaijawood say what? LOL .... Anyway you guys have to watch to figure out what happened.
Pros:
It is a simple movie that had its funny moments (esp. the church scene with Jessica trying to get Andrew's attention lmao) and it's romance was clean (nothing too sappy thank God). Oh and let's not forget the scene where Ramsey is kneeling at the altar in church and screaming at the Lord for help ... all I could think of was how beautiful this man is (yes he is married and am a sinner but choi!).
Cons:
The audio was pretty messed up in some scenes, you have to keep turning it down or turning it up
Only Jessica had a British accent in the movie - LOL I guess Mildred and the other two kids decided not to bother themselves.
My Thoughts:
Please which UK based person will return to Nigeria and one random lunatic comes into your house and seizes your passport and you just sitdon-they-look them? what? is that person crazy?
The in-laws accuse Mildred of killing her husband and want her to marry her husband's brother (which makes no sense to me, abi they want her to kill him too?) ... anyway, yet they frowned upon her friendship with Andrew *scratches head* So she is a hoe for being friends with a guy yet she is not a hoe if she goes ahead and marries her husband's brother barely a month after his death? *scratches head again* ... what kind of nonsensical logic is that?
an aside/off-topic: there is the scene were Mildred asks Andrew to move with them back to 'US' - pause - should've been UK missy ... oh well the editors clearly didn't catch that part.
Recommended?
Yes! Granted it's not the best movie out there but it's not the worst either. It's just a laid back movie to watch when you are bored.
