Pros:

Nothing besides Beyonce she's beautiful
|
|
Cons:
|
The dragging, the stretching, the accents, everything was silly to say the least.
|
|
Why is that people cry for stupid things? anyway, one the worst movies ever if i can say that and get away with it. I wouldn't recommend this movie to my enemy even if i want to.
A complete waste of time and money if you ask me. I'll rather watch 'when the paint dries' than this useless thing called a homvie.

Lots of twists and Turns and of course Van Vicker

Cons:

The unrealisticness
|

I found it somewhat enjoyable although the film starts badly with Van being shot and Jackie asking him if he is alright to drive... What kind of STUPIDNESS?
Van loses touch with Jackie who saves his life and then finds her. He falls in love and they plan to marry, only Beyonce, the president's daughter has her eye on him. soon enough he is in a love triangle, but when he is ready to cut ties with Beyonce she just won't let go... She will hold onto her man NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES!!!

I just finished watching this most undeservedly hyped film, Beyonce (The President's Daughter" and I want a full REFUND!!! In fact, I want a refund plus interest on my money and for my total waste of time!!!!! I want a refund for the shame to countless talented Ghanaians out there that did not deserve to be viewed through the eyes of this person who calls himself a director simply because he has got a computer at home, a two shilling digital camera and some jobless people looking for employment! People who can have really used the gig. I want a refund for my electricity and the cost of cleaning out my DVD after contaminating it with this kaka of a "film."
This is the most absolutely convoluted and bloated MESS of a story...a web so entangled that reviewing it might cause my brain to explode!!!
With the names Beyonce and Ciara, I thought I was watching a BET music video....why didn't he name one of the sisters Riahanna and his annoying best friend, Shawn aka Jay-Z then we would have the entire Def Jam family in the house!!!!
I turned it off the first time after five minutes when Raj got shot in the shoulder and starts coughing blood (okayyyyyyyy, I ignored that one), then the foolish girl Ciara runs over and asks him "Are you okay?" Jesu, the negro just got SHOT, hellllllo. Was I the only one who heard RAT TAT TATTTTT? And then the mother of all stupid questions, "Can you drive?" HELLO, you brainless twit, H.E. J.U.S.T. G.O.T.S.H.O.T in the fking shoulderrrrrrrrr!!!!! As an actress, Ms. Jackie Appiah, C.A.N.Y.O.U.R.E.A.D? And if you so, why didn't ask your director why in God's brown earth you would ask a man spewing blood out his mouth, albeit he got shot in the shoulder if he can drive a stick shift through the bumpy roads of Ghana!?!
I thought I was going to snap when the officers who didn't even look like police officers asked her to go back to the hospital and bring the wounded Raj to the police station before they could write a report?!! If the director wanted to establish how far she went for him which is why he loved her so much then he failed. If he wanted to establish that governmental red tapes are a burden then he failed. He only succeeded in making the characters caricatures and embarassing those actors.
The beginning was a mess from the opening to the end. The writer should have had Raj meet Beyonce FIRST after his accident, after his mom has told him they couldn't locate the girl, fall for her while in his mind he is regretting not having met Ciara to thank her THEN be at the club with NOT just his annoying bestfriend but with Beyonce and recognize her as the woman who saved his life. That would have begun the tension between the three of them which would have tied in nicely with the second night club scene where Raj was talking to Marcy/Ciara (MaRRRRRRRRRRRcy...not MACY...that would be the store on 34th Street and 7th Avenue in NYC) after her performance. The direction of that scene was just terrible. Why would this man talk so candidly to a club singer in front of his powerful, rich girlfriend? Director was at fault and so was the actor.
And why was Raj shot at in that opening scene, we never got to find out. And that just began the series of senseless gunshot after gunshot and gunshot. He didn't have to get shot at, he could have had a bad car wreck but I guess the director wanted to keep the gunshot theme.
Marcy/Ciara started a revenge process that never went anywhere in the plot. Did she plan to have Beyonce shot but the Psychologist got it instead because he was always with Beyonce but they made a mistake? I mean it was so convoluted that Raj threatens the guy with death something he only did that one time contrary to what he said in the scene and he gets arrested for it and HUNG to die?
Let's not talk about the man maintaining his pretty boy looks after being tortured in jail, o.
Beyonce can order doctors to kill people...she can have a two girls shot but she can't get her HUSBAND out of jail? All of a sudden the checks she was throwing around stops cold?
Or did her father's advisers orchestrate the whole thing since they did think Raj was a threat to the president's reelection? We get no clue. The man just got shot and Raj got tagged for it.
It was just mind boggling that she could order a doctor to kills this girl for 20k, stand there and watch her die?!! Then this heartless girl goes home an acts like she cares? That was just illogical. It would have made sense if she had one of her goons show up at the hospital as a fake doctor and administer the deadly dosage...but then again it would have caused the screenwriter to actually have to think of a creative way of bring Ciara back for a revenge that NEVER WENT THROUGH!!!
And are they serious about that acid burn on Ciara's face in the hospital? The girl looked like someone put two slices of cucumber on her face and rub dirt all over it and set it to dry! A burn victim who can talk, move her head without pain? An acid burn victim who can LAY ON THE SIDE OF HER FACE without an OUCH? An acid burn victim without MORPHINE dripping into her arms for pain? I burn my hand on the stove and I need vaseline but this girl she be super woman! And was it me or did anyone else NOT SEE THE MUD CRUMBS ON THE PILLOW? And I didn't know it was possible to breath through 20 layers of gauze on your face. The child gets up to get the gauze removed after her face transplant and the gauze is over her nose! They made no hole in her nostrils for air, I thought she might suffocate before we see her new face. And I didn't know that this kind of surgery was offered in Africa, I mean the first facial transplant was just last year. Her face looked so heal, so fresh, so smooth, no surgical lines at the hairline or jawline...wow, a miracle!
Okay, granted she resembles Jackie Appiah in the face a little especially because of the expressive eyes but she was heavier, taller and got considerably Bigger Boobs...unless she got them along with the new face and she put on the weight from lying in the hospital bed for six months! I can't offer an explanation as to why she grew taller, abeg.
Where was the costume person? The girl is in a club singing with the metal underwire from her bra handing like decoration over her breast, her tube top is rolled down at the back and her strapless bra is barely holding her fellas together. A see through, mesh tube top is not for those with over a C cup sized breast. All the sharing of jewelry that went on from one actress to another was so noticeble (Eva - Raj's sister and Angel-Marcy/Ciara's room mate shared the same rose bud necklace. Lily - Beyonce's friend and Angel wore the same lime green dangling earrings. Beyonce borrowed Jackie Appiah's yellow chiffon choker after her character switched to Marcy etc etc). The mismatched earrings and necklace, na by force? Where is the rule that say that when one wears earrings, there has to be a necklace? Beyonce had bangles up to her elbow like she was signing up for harem duty. And the wrap around hooker shoes, what the heck? I thought the girl's blood circulation might just stop.And why Ms. Appiah was wearing BLACK denim with a match BLACK LONG SLEEVE jacket in West of African heat and sweating like a christmas goat is beyond me. And I wouldn't even talk about ole girl with the white, buckled, knee high leather boots in all that heat! Did they not have swim truck for ole boy in the pool in his white nylon pant?
Beyonce no get perm or hair stylist? Better yet, a comb? And did the makeup artist quit on the day they shot the second wedding scene?
And by Return of Beyonce, what happened to the cars Beyonce 1, Beyonce 2, Beyonce 3? I guess the owners wanted their rides back.
And Raj rolled in a wheel chair after crying (OH GOD DID HE EVER CRY!!! THE MAN WAS A PUNK!!!!) at Ciara's bedside was asleep so quickly that he couldn't hear Beyonce in his room?
And why Beyonce's home looked like Levitz furniture store is something to ponder about but then again, I can't ponder for too long because I am still looking for my 10% discount coupon.
How juvenile were her friends? Why did they have to sing her name and praises when she walked into the door (who she finds her way without a map, I don' tknow) and didn't they have their own homes and JOBSSSSSSSSS? And let's not go there with how unsympathetic they were to their friend who comes home upset after a fight with her man...lounging at her pool and NOT one of them could get up and go inside with her to find out what's wrong. And the same idiot friends had the nerves to say complimentary things about Raj and Ciara at the supermarket why putting things she was buying for them in the shopping cart.
And let's leave the phony accents alone.
Oh yeah, did anyone see when Ciara was coming to Raj's mom's house to cook and clean? I didn't see it but then again, I get four eyes so I might have missed that part. He mentioned it and I wondered if that was an adlib gone wrong. There was NEVER a scene where his mom or sister were EVER friendly towards that girl.
Jackie Appiah should go back to whatever she was doing before...the one and ONLY good acting moment she had in the who entire part of the film that she was featured was her confrontation with Beyonce. Period! She has no clue about character development. The most annoying evidence of her lack of acting skills is when she kept on greeting Raj's mom and sister Eva as if they just love her to death. EVERY SINGLE TIME that stupid grin on her face...no reservation, no cautiousness.
And her sister kept calling her Auntie...what? They look the same age to me and I don't care if Ciara is her older sister, "Sister" would have been fine OR they should have casted someone relatively younger.
And where was this second daughter who popped out of nowhere in the Return of Beyonce? No mention anywhere...I guess the other couldn't do it whenever they decided to do R.O.B so they invented a second daughter...so predictable and obvious. She must look like their nonexistent dad.
Van Vicker should stick to modelling...or whatever the heck he was doing before, music videos, selling garri...whatever!!!!! He SUCKED. He didn't not go through an emotional journey in that film. He came in there everyday and it was like he just showed up on set for the first time to begin shooting! He never changed. He never matured. He was the same from beginning to end! I want to say he is the female Lilian Back but he's not that bad. He is bad though. He talks with his hands so much...point, point, point, jab, jab, jab. He is definitely coasting his looks because he is NOT impressive in the least bit. Ramsey has nothing to fear from this Ghanaian imitator. Don't get me wrong if the man asks me out on a date, I would most definitely hop to it but if he asks me anything towards his career then I would tell him that beauty fades and if he doesn't take lesson he would be left with the shell of an actor without something substantive to say.I wanted to see this guy MAN up for ONCE in the entire movie...MAN THE FK UP!!! Cry, cry, cry. Mike Ezerounye screams and Van Vicker cries. At one point his must have run out of tears because they took the camera of him for one second, came back, he looked like someone splashed water on his face. If you are going to make the character a cry baby then at least have one of his props be a handkerchief. It was so gross knowing he probably shook hands with someone after a scene. And Van, sweetie keep the contacts on because those glasses are leaving dents the size of a road side ditch on either sides of your nose!
Raj finds the surveillance photos in Beyonce's purse and say nothing, does nothing? I mean, the man has a smoking gun in his hand and then puts it away without addressing the issue?
And is there only ONE pastor in the who of Ghana? And does he only own one YELLOW/Lime Green shirt? At Ciara's funeral he preached with the same shirt and a year later he is marrying these two fools with the same shirt on.
Why couldn't the director have the extras at the church where Beyonce got shot for the second time STOP SMILING? Only one woman screamed but the rest where running and smiling as if they were practicing for interhouse sports.
The director must have been pretty exhausted by the end of the movie because there is no excuse for him to have lost such an important moment as the one of Raj going by the store to see Debbie and "Marcy" is sitting there. She covers her face with her hair. She looks down. WHAT THE HECK? HE WOULDN'T RECOGNIZE YOU!!!!! YOU HAVE AN ADVANTAGE!!! She should have been looking at him longingly, not being able to say who she was and feasting her eyes on her love whom she hasn't seen in so long...she should have looked at him with such longing to make so uncomfortable that he would ask the sister who she was which would cause her to lie!!!
What did the Amnesia angle do to move this story forward?
Nadia Buari (Beyonce) another actress coasting on her biracial looks was nothing captivating to observe as an actress. She did an okay job but she could have done much, much, much better. I lay the blame at the director's feet because I think he could have gotten more out of her. She had a chance to show her skills as not just a leading lady but a character actor when she suffered amnesia but instead of digging deep...she walked around the compound as if she had abdominal surgery....gingerly, she touched leaves, trees, walls around her compound as if those things would bring her memory back. She should have looking at her diary, photos of her friends, Raj lived there, couldn't she smell one of his shirt to jug her memory...as much as she loved this man, parents especially if her mother was dead since she was never in the film...that would trigger her memory etc. They friends that were supposed to be helping bringing back her memories simply ended up lounging in the pool and taking her to a loud clubs where she acted possessed. None of the things she supposedly was recalling had ANYTHING to do with her past experience which would have given an indication of slight progress. She tried to develop a character but with an inept director at the helm of this lost voyage, she ended up with absolutely no direction.

I wish to say the film was one ghastly accident from the beginning to the end. That Raj man must have had 9 lives to survive that long. it was an awful film throughout. I detest the fact that i watched it. It was not entertaining, not educative, not reflective of African. Africans dont wait for bad thing to happen before we act. It was a bad hollywood movie went wrong. I scored the film(1st & 2nd- thank God i didnt see last Part!) zero but for the houses were actually beautiful, befitting Beyonces status. But Beyonce was a thorough fake. No one would behave appallingly like that to a Governors Daughter, not to talk of a Presidents. In which income bracket did Raj's family fitted into? His family compound made him looked like a Presidents son too. Pretty faces and nice houses minus the roads leading to the Houses ( the only + in the films) showed African comfort. But for heaven sake, what were those permanent hangers-on at Beyonce's place? Friends or Goons? I hope they have day jobs?
The films were too bad to salvage. Even if all the girls were topless, i would still say it was one helluva of a job- like a boob job gone fatally wrong.
Please advise the actors, directors, producer, the entire crew to try something different for the sake of all of us.
