Until then, this movie gets a 3/5 from me.This story afeatures contributions from Ehimenim Agweh, Fisayo Okare and Debola Abimbolu Perhaps I should watch it again and create a list of what areas threw me off? I’ll think about it… It just didn’t do it for me like the way Violated or any of the movies I listed above did. I won’t be adding this to my collection of great Nigerian films. Now, as for The Wedding Party, great directorial debut for Kemi, record breaking, and fantastic production. I still have it online to watch whenever I feel nostalgic. That movie was sooo good I saw it like 500+ times (Not kidding). I remember watching Violated for the first time. Shola was great but I can see how someone else might find her annoying and OTT. Stand out performance were Banky W and Ireti Doyle. Albeit funny, more substance was highly needed.Īcting – 6/10. I wish I could tell you exactly what this movie lacked but I went away dissatisfied. I think they fell a little short in bringing this story to life. “girl about to marry a boy, boy conflicted about sticking with one woman but excited about the prospect of being married to the girl.mother-in-laws at odds with each other…the boys past and mother threaten the success of the wedding…chaos and drama unfolds as couple attempts to tie the knot”. Story – Now this is where I got a little disappointed. Great actor and lights up the camera like a true star. ![]() Another notable mention has to be Shola Shobowale A.K.A toyin tomato. Nollywood has grown leaps and bounds in this area and long may that continue.Ĭasting – I think this was spot on. I know any project involving Kemi always always delivers great production. So you can imagine my excitement seeing the trailer of The Wedding Party, since the proper Nigerian wedding was the backdrop of the movie.Īnyway, enough rambling, I’ll go straight to my take on the wedding party. Movies like ‘Violated”, “Rattlesnake”, “Forever”, “Peacemaker”, “Taboo”, are examples of what’s missing in Nollywood today. We have a lot of Hollywood inspired movies, which never seem to cut across the true Nigerian populace. In recent times, Nollywood movies have waned from telling captivating stories stories that depict our rich, dramatic and Nigerian culture. So you can imagine my expectations were at an all time high. In addition, my love for Kemi Adetiba was another reason I looked forward to this blockbuster. The hype surrounding this movie was sooo good that I had to see it. I mean, one month after its release and tickets were still sold out. Was very impressed with the hype to see the movie. Best believe, it will win a lot of awards in 2017. Nigerian movies need to learn to not rush movie endings. As usual, just like Fifty, the ending was rushed.Beverly Naya trying to be sexy was funny tbh.I understand they had to let all the secrets out, but no, it was all wrong. The robbery scene was very unnecessary.The soundtracks were much in sync with the scenes.Big ups to Zainab Balogun for portraying the role of the wedding planner very well!.The bridesmaids, Somkele Iyamah-Idhalama and Daniella Down were beautiful!.He had an amazing connection with Adesua Etomi. Banky W also did a good job, considering the fact that this is his first act.They are both amazing actresses who played their roles very well. ![]()
