It starts with Tara (Kate Henshaw Nuttal) narrating along as she also goes on with the movie. Seemed unique to me and seemed unnollywood like.She plays the part of the partner to a superstar tv liveshow host Abby Davies (Monalisa Chinda) and Tara is to research on a very crucial topic for their show, the case study being "The games men play". Tara is beautiful, intelligent and very sassy as decides to use her friends and family stories as part of her research. That includes Taiwo (Jim Iyke) Her twin sister's husband,Abby, her partner,Richmond (mike Ezereonye) Abby's boyfriend and so many more and that leads us into the good, the bad and the ugly side o their lives. And even when Tara seems to be a tool into helping people sort their lives, she finds it hard to sort hers.

An interesting movie but so many irrelivant scenes. Maybe as a result of streching into three parts. I loved the dialogues,without being told, u would already know its an Emem Isong movie. Could have been better. I dont know why but i think Games women play was better.
I watched it and have a different view. I think this movie is the bomb. It is bigger then "Games Women Play". Indeed it is a three part movie but you don't feel it. I watched it with some hard african movies critics and everyone was sucked into the movie. Uche Jombo, Jim Iyke, Kate Henshaw and Dakore give a world class performance. I enjoyed it, From beginning to end didn't feel the time. It is a plus for the industry.

Did u read my post well? I also enjoyed the movie and wasnt dis-appointed. But some over-streched scenes and i also think its the best film i have seen this Year. But i dont know why, i still prefer GWP,GMP was brilliant and i think the originality of the storyline blew me away....but u know u cant forget the way the G-3 handled GWP, it makes it hard for me to choose. But all the same Emem scored another hit and she proved she is the master of the game,any time, anyday. Monalisa Chinda, Kate Henshaw,Jim Iyke, Dakore and the rest sure did an excellent job. So dont get me wrong, its hard to see any great nollywood movie without flaws which is what i was pointing out.

the irrelevant scenes were uncountable, ehhhh Moviewizard u left out the last scene,how did u enjoy the dancing?
the movie is good but i prefer games women play,coz there is tension in it,as for games men play u cud predict every move made.there wasnt any need for part 3.

I watched it yesterday, and i enjoyed it, i loved the film Emem Isong was in it a few time, i recognised her from her pic on NR. Excellent performances and story lines. I noticed Uche Jumbo contributed to the screenplay. I watched it with my bobo and he also liked it, he laughed all the way through, in fact, it got us talking about certain things. The only thing is it shouldn't have been in three parts two would have sufficed and part 2 was quite short.

My sista...lawd knows I'm having the exact thought. Even without them saying it, I already knew that most of those scenes would be unecessary prolonged all in the name of making a third part to make more money...shebi it's Emem Isong. Even the movies she produced with just two parts had some scenes being dragged too.

Anyway, to all honesty, I can only partronize her work with just buying the two parts...that's all a sista can do. As for the third part, ummmm....we can share it by adding money together to buy it.
