Cast:
Chidiebere and Chidinma Aneke (“Aneke Twins”), Van
Vicker, Patience Ozokwor, Camilla Mbereke
Plot:
Martha and Mary are twin sisters whose relationship
is put to the test when Mary marries Martha's boyfriend while her sister is away,
successfully deceiving everyone, all in the name of helping her. What
happens when everyone finds out the truth?
Pros:
They were actual identical twins, not the same
person playing two roles or two people who vaguely look alike. The premise is
interesting. The acting was manageable on some fronts.
Cons:
The story was rubbish – time that could have been
used to flesh out the story was spent on nothing useful. Production had some
suspect moments {SPOILER ALERT: The wedding scene involves “snapshots” of the
wedding that were clearly paused video if the twitching was anything to go by}.
Overall (some spoilers ahead):
I was very disappointed because I saw where the
story could have gone but for whatever reason, the writers decided to take the
lazy way out. There were way too many coincidences and “how can” moments for it
to be believable, and the conclusion was way too convenient. Why did neither
Stanley nor Martha know the other’s whereabouts? Why the hell did Mary even take Martha’s
spot in the first place? We’re told it was so the man wouldn’t run off with
anyone else but that is just a load of nonsense. Personally, I don’t think this
movie is worth the watch but if unlike me, you’re able to get past the lack of
motivators and the plot holes, you might enjoy it.
