Don't even bother going to buy it, no head and no tail i will say. Rating 2/10 being that i am a very nice person. Ernest Asuzu and Emeka Enyiocha are in it as well.

Pity about the movie.
The story is about a city guy who fell in love with a village priestess and took her to the city.
Ofcourse the gods got angry and you can imagine the rest.Two parts ofcourse.
Starrring;Rhamsey Noah and Thompson.
Directed by Tarila Thomson.
that movie is not too bad...except for de fact that the whole thing is filled with sound tracks from the legendary "COMING TO AMERICA" Despite all the beautiful songs i have been hearing in naija movies, none could be used or composed for this movie! copying hollywood is really scaring some of us away for these movies.

The movie was about a girl and boy that were raised as brother and sister.. but they are not blood related. Turns out they fell inlove witheach other.. and were dating..only the bobo couldnt get it (please find definitaion urself) up... anyway after about an hour of this movie... we found out they are actually brother and sister- blood related

The movie sucks.. plenty

Guys y'all funny people . I read every reply before i could post mine so i wouldn't contradict anyone here. All the movies mentioned i don't have except Old Skool, which i would say was just entertaining but no major lesson to be learnt from such. I hate watching "crap" like you guys put it but sometimes i like to wait and see if any thing real will evolve. Anyway that apart i'd want to mention 1 or 2 y'all should not waste your money you stood all day to get to buy nonsense. Like Khamileon rightly said "one mans meat may be another man palava" so i don't withhold you from watching it if you wanna. This movie :

Jack Knife feat genny, i really don't what to say but if you require a review i will do that. But for now, i need to catch my breath. God i don't know what will become of Nollywood if films we call crap continues.

Another Side of love feat jim iyke, Rita dominics and one other girl like that she is not new but i can't recall her name right now. The movie just wanted us to know the other side of love which is the American type of love-- obsession. It was just not my kind so i don't think i recommend for anyone.

Vince.. u be proper ashi... na dat one u go get.

neways.. yep he couldnt sleep with her but was able to sleep with someone else.


another one.. maybe I should put this one in wasted concepts....

i'll put it in both:

Private Sin.. .

would have been a really good movie but...

1) why did they have to say the father didnt sleep with the chick??? dont they know it would have been more dramatic if they had both (father & Son) been sleeping with the chick. If you are not going to go all the way with a story tis better not to go there at all.

Why did everyone had to convienently die off.. just so this two pple that were cheating can have a great life togeter. me thinks it would have made better drama sense to have them all alive and in turmoil trying to come to terms with the situation.

another one bits the dust.

Arrested By Love

Director: Gabriel Moses
Main Actors: Jim Iyke, Pete Edochie.
Brief Synopsis:
Rich man's only son is a very bad boy (so what else is new? ) and his parents are at their wits end because he got sent to America and they had to bring him back home because of bad behaviour, most universities in Nigeria have kicked him out despite his father's money. His parents have tried all to no avail to reform their boy. Then suddenly (you got it!) cupid strikes and he falls for a born again girl. He starts doing things in secret admirer style to win her heart. And it turns out, the girl's father and the boy's father have some prior dealings.
Will she agree to date him?
If she does agree to date him will he change his ways?
What will his gang-banging thuggish friends do if the girl succeeds in having her way with him?
Finally, how does the two fathers' prior dealings factor into this story?

My thoughts:
Let's just go ahead and dump this in the flop thread.
Somebody please shoot me for sitting thru this movie.
Took them just about the whole movie to establish the fact that he is a bad boy. Alright already, I got that fact by the second scene (which shows how badly, and how long the scenes were stretched out)
Where do I even start dissecting this movie?
The too long scenes? the very stupid, tiring, corny american accent? or the very, God help me, predictable plot??
The whole twist at the end of the thing was a major distraction. What did it serve to accomplish? NOTHING. It was introduced in the last five minutes of the movie. Who wrote this crap anyway? aren't you supposed to introduce a conflict of this magnitude either in the beginning or in the middle?
There was no time to develop it at all, they just threw it there, and it served no purpose at all other than to show that the father is a heartless bastard. I could have told you that. I'm sure he didn't get rich by sitting on his damn ass and being nice to everyone. It did not do anything for the movie at all.

And then, after all the noise the friends made, you thought they were going to do something, but they didn't.
i was sitting there, waiting for a showdown between the friends and our main character, but no show.

Verdict: 1.5/10

(p.s. Jim Iyke is a TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE kisser. what the f**k was he doing at the kissing scene?? trying to lick her face? chop her mouth?? really, WTF?? )


What I was wondering was why didn't the father just cut off his source of money for the boy? apparently he's used to having everything his way and if he suffers small, he'll know say na condition make crayfish bend like so. It kills me when parents of spoiled children don't know that they are the cause of their kids turning out like that.

I share your thoughts on this one.Very irritatingly predictable movie.I praise you that you sat it to the end,i didn't.I did not see the twist at the end and i really didn't care.The whole movie was a sheer waste of time and money.
The yankelising from Jim Iyke got me hating the movie right from the word go.When i couldn't stand it anymore,iremoved the tape and that was it.
A big flop.

Man Snatcher

Oh lawd dis movies suck plenty, and it put the capital letter "SU" in Suck big time. It was a big waste of time and money.

Someone please tell this producers and driectors to stop putting rubbish movies out there abeg.

Meanwhile, I just saw Police Recruit as well and that was too hilarious, i think am watching it again today. Sam loco is a crazy man but all in all his acting was great.
