My review....

Okay I saw the movie and to be very very honest I love the movie with all its flaws and streched scenes and everything else.

I wanna first of all break down the xters and their craziness down to you, without actually telling you too much story - i hope
With whom will I start oh.....?

Let me start with my girl TARA which is acted my KATE HENSHAW:Now Tara explains the story what games men play and all that stuff but is also involved in a very funny relationship too. I just loved the way she flowed on the screen. Very natural without faking too much, ya know...you really want to see her act. Infact anytime the disc finished I jumped up to see that the next disc is put into the disc player as fast as possible. I just loved the way she deliverd her role in the flick. And she looked so good troughout the movie!!!The role really fit her - big ups to her!

Next one is Abbigail acted by MONALISA CHINDA...she did a good job. It was my first time actually seeing her acting so well. She and Tara did a good job, flowed so good with each other and her relationship with RICHMOND, was something else. There was a time me and my mom jumped up together and started screaming, like WOMAN don't you see that the dude is cheating on you, we then had to rewin everything and started watching it from the beg cos others joined us and they did the same thing! ...too funny men!One advice I would give to the makeup artist and the hairdresser is that, MONA is a grown *** woman, those hairstyles were for kids for crying out loud, sometimes the make up was good, soemtimes it was just too bad!

Tracy,Tracy,Tracy...acted by UCHE JOMBO...koda this woman don show me say she sabi act...I mean hands down! This flick is her breaktrough, jokes apart, she performed very well. Looked very decent and good troughout the movie and introduced the xter of the virtues woman in the Bible. NOw don't get me wrong, she was not all the type of preachy woman, or prayer warriror oh. I loved the way they let a bit of religion slip into the xter. I just loved the way she potrayed her side of the story without running from one pastor to the other!!! BIG BIG UPS to her....and am soooo happy she dropped dem asewo roles!

BEN...haaa...BEN acted by BOB MANUEL UDOKWO...hmmm...I thought he was the one that was playing the good on in the movie not knowing that he is the WOLF in sheepsclothes oh. Kai, that guy do something weh bad, we craze but una go see am una self....all in all in solid performance.

RICHMOND....acted by Micheal E. ....the guy make me laugh small sha cos he wan be like EMEKA IKE in MAD LOVE....hehehe kai, him and his girl just make me laugh troughout the movie likw what the hell is going on. Guy thought he is some player but the thing finally backfired. But come to think of it, wetin happen to am...he too de shout and na so him go look like as if him wan **** for body ...na so him go de try raise neck weh no exist....eheheh funny stuff sha...nice acting!

TAIWO...acted my JIM IYKE...now ladies I must say this guy surley knows how to dress...all those weh no like am weh think say him ugly fine thats ya own opp but seriously, he looks more fit in the recent movies I have seen him and dresses nice. Abeg the bobo de try sha. Nice acting by him all the way too!

Next on the list is another girl of mine YASMIN (yeah I know the name get as it be but hey that's naija for you) acted by CHIOMA FRANKLIN AKPOTHA.She acted as BEN's wife and did a very nice job. There is a scene where they got into a quarrel and acted that part so well that I could feel what she was going trough....that ish was just like WOAH

CHIKA,CHIKA...acted by FRED ASEROMA...the dude weh equally craze like BEN. Nice acting....I like FRED though...I think he has a lot of potentials oh, and I guess Nollywood does not even know the great talents being right under their noses. It is not good to be one way tracked!

ANGEL ...acted by DAKORE EGBUSON...yeah lady looked fab troughout the movie and I liked the last outfit, the white one, most! Anyways sha...the girll too miss road for that movie but her friend cracked me more up. I guess she overacted a bit when it comes to the department of accent. with the whole DAMN and WHatever thingy...una go know wetin i mean when yall see the flick!

Let me kunkun move over to her friend....TUTU acted by BENITA NZERIBE.....men d babe is on fire ...there was a scene where she told ANGEL "don't let them rakabolashsabola on ya head oh" and i was like what? ...we had to pause that scene rewin it again and...geeez she almost killed me men!!! She acted nice.

TAYOOOOO....gosh, Tayobaby aka INI EDO...ejo this babe almost killed me with laughter...I just laughed anytime she acted. She was RICHMOND's Mistress and gosh the babe show am pepper. She plays a studen in that movie and damn what was wrong with her??? I mean the clothes she wore...the hairstyles...abeg INI don't let them put anything on you!!!
That said...that lady needs to be acting different roles...it was wonderful seeing her acting like a asewo!!!

FRANK acted by Kalu something...did a solid job and was Abbi's friend!

That is it....I will finish this later on!

Games Men Play

Okay, so I finally got my hands on this movie and after watching it, I could now understand what all the hype was about with this movie. I must admit that Emem Isong did a marvelous job this time around with this particular movie compared to the other ones she has done in the past.

I mean, it coming out in three parts, I was at first skeptical of buying it based on the fact that the past ones she has produced had all been filled up with prolonged scenes, but I still took the risk of buying it and to my ultimate surprise, this movie spoke differently. I can't remember were I had to for once you my FF button because every scene that was being showed went straight to point and moved on to the next scene...infact, I had to end up rewinding some scenes just to recap the great performance that had just been shown in it. Bolanle already did a great job analyzing the performance of each person's character in the movie.

Finally, with this movie(even though it came in three parts), I can now boast that I got my money's worth

I watched all of it--yes...... (part 1,2,3) alone last night after work.There wasn't a dull moment.As is characteristic of all nollywood movies,it had several flaws,but nonetheless was immensely watchable.It is easily the most entertaining movie of the year.

Wow! That was exactly right about time I got to watch it too...I just couldn't afford to not finish watching it last night...I mean, it was just too entertaining to let go.

Even the flaws in it, one wouldn't get bored with it because it did a good job entertaining the movie.

Nice one Emem Isong! Though i havent seen the part 3 i will still go for it. At least i hardly do that for most movies. Kate Henshaw Nuttal was superb and Uche Jumbo and Dakore Egbesun really proved their worth.Infact the casting was da bomb! Monalisa Chinda, Jim Iyke, Ini Edo, Chioma Chukwuka Akpota- you all did a great job but with minimal flaws.

I must say i enjoyed every bit of this movie. Yeah there were some scene that should have been totally deleted but in all we all must agree Emen did a good job here.

I loved it loved it!!!!!!!!!

Way to go Kate, i would say she stole the show. Very nice.

though i havent seen the movie i have heard some pretty good reviews and very happy for uche jumbo. She said in that interview posted on here, that she was wanting some diversity in her roles, and i think she is getting it lately. Now she wont be typecasted as much. Its the diverse roles that showcase an actors talent.
