LAGOS COUGARS
1hr 45minutes
A lot of you must have read about the movie or even watched it, I'm reviewing this movie in layman terms, void of all the plenty grammar.
So its about three professional, single and bored women in their forties, who look for love...the twist, in way younger men.
THE ACTORS
Alex Ekubo: dude was as real as he could be, and he made my Igbo brothers happy with his interpretation.
Diana Yekini: fine black oyibo speaking babe, all through her scenes, I caught my neck moving as if I were the one speaking all that phonetics.
Uche Jumbo: Aret in the movie, babes came on with her werey'nism. She was the bad-ass momma, and her drama brought laughter to all.
Monalisa Chinda: Elsie in character, she became the character and played the role as only an original would, her expressions were something else, especially where Benjamin kissed her on the stairs and her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Shawn Faqua: Elsie's son, to see such a fine, well built young man act so natural was charming. Especially since that's the first movie ild see him feature in. Ladies, he looks like a keeper, start famzing him now oh, before its too late.
Danielle Okeke: Joke, the successful fashion designer. Great be thy everly endowed mama, even with her bad acting, most men were content just watching her behind.
Ifeanyi Kalu: fine model turned actor. He played a nice part as well, with his signature aboki scarf through the movie.
GOOD
It was a movie, one could relate to. It was funny also, good camera quality.
BAD
It was to cliché. And I couldn't believe that in this we own Naija, woman fit mount stage cry cos of man, call am out sef. Takes one of Stella's seats
UGLY
Danielle mama, with all her endowments couldn't act to save her soul.
She was stiff and I was wondering if the backside affected this, cos in the movie she acted as a ghost with Nkem Owoh, Ini Edo as his pregnant wife (remind me the name abeg), she acted well, perhaps cos the ikebe never heavy am then. #JustSaying.
In all it was an OK movie, and it was somewhat refreshing to see that Aunty Emem didn't feature her usual group of calabar actors. And uncle Desmond was a good director, but pay heed to little details in future sir, e.g sound check, and directing the camera at the right person, at the right time, not the back of the speakers' head.
Have you watched the movie?
If yes, what's your take on it?

ReplyDeleteStella point of correction to the reviewer,that movie of Nkem Owoh and Ini it was not Danielle that played the Ghost, it was a girl called Chinelo,light skinned girl, Daniella cannot act that's a fact and that was why she didn't become a star in Nollywood,as for the movie same old RAA kind of movie and faces,Alex and co in all RAA movies
ReplyDeleteWhat's dis one saying??? Danielle was the ghost...d name of d movie is "true story" to think dt u even typed "point of correction".....mtcheeew...catfish!!

ReplyDeleteBest movie ever!!..kudos emem,I just love that lady!
ReplyDeleteSound Review, I've not seen it yet, I will definitely see it if I can.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely trailer and the cast alone is to die for, hope to see the movie soon and Happy Sunday everyone. #cheers#
ReplyDeleteThis is what I call class defined.Check out the actors featured,the tittle and the picture effect.Its so cute.Not the normal boring Asaba Movies from a wonderful director though;Tchidi Chikere....I Can't wait to see Mercy Johnson-Okojie do Cinema movies not the "MUD OF TEARS" shit they always do. Nse Ikpe Etim is so classy....Ini,Monalisa, Beverly Naya,Uche Jombo..these bunch of ice-cream ladies are the Trend of Nollywood. Love them....@Emem Isong,she. Is the best producer.Her Royal Arts Academy is second to none...Unlike Ugezu.O.Ugezu who would want to feature in the rubbish he produces. All the imaginary "Royal this,Royal that"......
ReplyDeleteMore Grace to u Desmond,watched a couple of movies Directed by you,seriously u broke bounds.....The movie "In the Cupboard" is one of Ʊя wonderful piece.May God Bless Nigeria....We've got Talent.
Oh pls,I hate d poster! Tis only Uche and Alex dt brought life to that picture! Others look so stiff and Monalisa looked like she's trying to look good For d Camera! She shd loosen up alil
DeleteYou are talking rubbish Asaba movies are not boring,infact those Asaba movies are movies frequently watched by people,people find Asaba movies more interesting,you need to see how much those marketers are making,and how people abroad even beg people to buy Asaba movies while coming to the states,besides Asaba movies make their actors more popular,that is why Cinema actors are not known outside,siddon there, Ugezu film sef dey sweet wella
DeleteAll these cinema movies u listed I haven't seen them,but my Dumebi. the dirty girl,the illiterate sold like fire,people see those Asaba movies more
DeleteAfter reading this review, I feel like I have watched it already...oya now waiting for part 2!The Alex
ReplyDeleteI saw the movie already @ silverbird and I was entertained. Alex was ok, my 1st of seeing a move him in a movie. Oh I like him. I didn't like Daniella's scene when she was sketching n squeezing papers coz she misses Ifeanyi. Uche Jombo, my girl anytime any day was cool with her tiny teeth n sweet smile. Mona did a good job when she spanked her son for over stepping his bounds. In all I did enjoy d movie n went home smilling. I now support our film makers by paying to see their movies...depends on the producer n director of d movie thou.
ReplyDeleteStella I agree wit u in all u said especially abt Daniella. Wth!!! Shez just same as Juliet Ibrahim. So stiff... who dey evn giv dem role sef? I tink danielas problm is dat her ass is so heavy on her but I snt get juliets ...dey nid a lng break frm acting
ReplyDeleteI would love to see this Movie!Cos I know Uche Jombo is an amazing Actress anyday anytime.Plss can I have the ticket!
ReplyDeleteD movie is just dere jor. It was my first time. Seeing a Nigeria movie at the cinema and I swore never again!!! Waste of money
ReplyDeleteThat's what am talking about all these Nigerian Cinema movies are mostly boring,Alaba movies are very interesting
DeleteLady, nice innovation and a nice way for u to get us to read ur blog but I must say that I checked out ur blog and u don't hav enough content yet. U post less than 10 posts in a month...SDK is a huge platform, b4 u advertise here, you need to get a lot of things in order. There are so many blogs and some pple can't keep up with much of dem. So u need pple like us wit a voracious appetite for consumin blognews to patronize u. We can only do dat wit d rite stuff on ur blog...I will use my self as an example...I come to d internet and I first go to SDK, den linda, den laila, den ladun, den soladunn, and eya's wivesconnection, that1960chick...I end wit BN...I do dis rounds not less dan 4 times in a day...wen I saw ur url...it wz very easy to memorise but I didn't get much content...update pls...nice style of writing btw!
ReplyDeleteSure thing sire, thank u.
DeleteNot less than 4 times a day..on all these blogs you have mentioned .
DeleteMy dear these blog owners ought to pay you salary o.
Haba you are trying o...
Abeg apart from perusing blogs what else do you do?
Orela dear, could u stop being so DUMB! For crying out loud, ur age and immaturity screams so loud through your comments. The above comment is just a truthful opinion of the commenter, presented maturely, so what's ur point. Its funny with ur claim to medicine u also visit blogs regularly and so long as its no ones business, also stop poking ur nose into other peoples business. Most times, u take joy in being overly antagonistic to people who give their opinion contrary to SDK's, replying them all, but u play ignorance to similar scenario on Laila's blog. Pls get over ur Hypocrisy and let othe blog visitors be!
DeleteI will watch it just because of Daniella's ass.
ReplyDeleteI avnt watched the movie but I would so love to. Dat Diana Yekini is such a fine actor. He was in 'deperate housegirls' and he played his role so well......me likey. Make pesin beg Emem isong say me too sabi act abeg. Make she no dey use only calabar people. She is a good producer and working with her would be a breath of fresh air. We upcoming actors have to keep praying to God to help us get that break through.
ReplyDeleteBlood of Jesus, Diana Yekini a he? O_o and u want to be an actor, smh.
Deletelmaooooooo...naija! kai
DeleteI tire o
DeleteSeen d movie, like u said I like d introduction of fresh actors nd the end was not it for me. D movie should have ended with something believeable and African, dere was a bit of copying in d movie and we should be careful becos it becomes boring to sit thru it again
ReplyDeleteAlex Ekubo is a shit actor. And that storyline sounds played out.
ReplyDeleteAlex should just stop acting he is a terrible actor cos of him I stopped watching Rukky,s movies
DeleteSDK...thanks for the narration..in other words I have seen the movie...through your Narration he he he he. Ok ll go and wait for part 2
ReplyDeleteSapelewaterpikin... Hve seen d movie ap the cinema silverbir and stella I agreed with u with you for your judgement my only problem with that movie is the last scene wia that fashion designer hve to cry on stage topick up an award. Nd u are crying for a man below her age cosof love, I think they lost t they dey probably do not knw how to end the movie, that was the part I don't like about the movie if not. The movie is not bad thou will rate dem 50percent ok
ReplyDeletedaniella and biola ige, who is worse? lmao hoes cant act to save their lives
ReplyDeletebiola is worse
Deletekα̲̅γ̲̣̣̥ , I hv seen d movie, vry chic n classy. Daniella act pass lilian bach na! Cos dt one cldnt act 2 save naija hw much more ha life.
