This movie review is for a movie entitled To Love and Cherish. This movie stars Genevieve Nnaji, Chidi Mokeme, and Yvonne Nelson.
The movie is about Jane (Nnaji), a hardcore workaholic who has absolute no interest in any man. Her sister Nicole (Nelson), has quite the opposite personality. Nicole is an aspiring model who is whimsical and free-spirited. They both live at home with their mother. The family owns a top-notch company that is raking in the dollars.
On the other end, Daniel and his father's company is currently plummeting. Daniel and his father attempt to think of how best the company can be saved...until Jane's mother proposes an idea. She suggests that the two companies merge on the condition that her daughter and Daniel get married. Daniel's father loves the idea!
Both parties work on their ends to convince their children to marry each other. Both parties agree. Before the wedding takes place, Daniel travels to Abuja to "clear his mind" and comes back unknowingly creating a mess.
I would definitely rate this movie an "A". The story was excellent! I loved how smoothly the story ran. I love the ending but it kept me guessing about a few things. Otherwise, I loved it!

Movie Review!!!! Sweet Potato/Final Sweet Potato
Time for another movie review! Last weekend, I watched Sweet Potato and Final Sweet Potato. This movie starred Nkem Owoh (Osufia), Mercy Johnson, Sam Loco Efe, and Chigozie Atuanya.
The movie begins with two love birds Utazi (Owoh) and Asa (Johnson). These two are very inseparable. However, Utazi is a coffin maker and not up to par for marrying Asa as he wishes. Asa's parents are dead set on Utazi leaving their daughter alone.
A neighboring family suggests to their son, Fred (Atuanya), about Asa. Fred is furious because he is already involved in a relationship that is going on three years. Fred attempts to introduce the girl to his parents, but they reject her immediately. Soon, they introduce him to Asa and they hit off immediately. Asa attempts to warn Utazi to pay her bride price, but he is unable. Fred pays her bride price and they get married.
Soon after, dire situations put Fred in a tough spot. He has to prove his love for Asa. Utazi, still upset about the whole situation, ends up saving the day. Sadly, things do not end so well in the long run.
If I had to rate this movie, I'd rate it a "C+". The movie was really good, but I did not like how the movie started winding down and how it ended.

Movie Review!!! Dirty Secret
I watched Dirty Secret this weekend. This movie stared Tonto Dike, Muna Obiekwe, Ajibola Daba, and Mary Ann Apollo.
The story is about Pandora (Dike) and her father, Otumba Davis (Daba) sharing an extremely "close" relationship. Chief Davis takes a trip and returns with a new wife, Florance (Apollo). Pandora is furious about the new arrangement and makes life a living hell for the new addition to the family.
Meanwhile, Ken (Obiekwe), is balancing his act as a professional gigolo. His main prey is usually older and rich women who spoil him with money, cars, and other luxuries. Pandora meets Ken at a party and attempts to get his attention. All efforts fail and Pandora leaves the party determined to be front stage in Ken's theater. Unknowingly, he is setup by Pandora to be caught by her uncle because he is sleeping with his wife. She "saves" him from the near-death experience and they begin from there.
Chief Davis finds out about the relationship with the Ken and Pandora and wants a "piece of the action." All the while, Florance begins to notice some strange things between Pandora and her father. Their relationship seems far beyond what she thought would be considered "normal."
If I had to rate this movie, it would be a "D+". The only reason that I decided not to give the movie a complete "F" is because of two reasons: 1) Mary Ann Apollo is an astounding actress and a beautiful at that! I absolutely loved her acting in this movie. This is the first I've ever heard of her and I think she did absolutely awesome! 2) The story line was actually pretty good. The movie is a 2-parter and I was dying to watch the second half. But here are the reasons I DID NOT like the movie beyond my rating: 1) I think Tonto Dike was trying to be a bit too "American" in her acting. I didn't feel as if she showed her originality too much in this particular movie. Secondly, I feel that many of her movies lately seem to have her always sleeping with someone and I don't think that makes good of her. I think she is so beautiful and should opt for better movie parts. 2) The movie was EXTREMELY GRAPHIC! The second part of the movie got to a point that I almost just wanted to stop watching the movie. It totally disgusted me to the point I almost wanted to physically vomit. Nigerian movies are becoming to pornographic and distasteful. 3) I hated how the movie ended (which I will not reveal). The story line was way too good for the movie to end the way it did. It was quite disappointing and it leaves you wondering what will happen. And lastly 4) I absolutely love Muna! He used to be one of my favorite actors in Nollywood; lately, he's been playing a lot of "bad boy" roles and I don't think it fits his nature. This movie, I think, was one of his worst. I did not like him in this movie at all.
