LAGOS COUGARS

                                                                   Hello Peeps,

How was your weekend? Hope you all had a great one. Last week was very eventful Chinwetel was here in Lagos (yay!), also half of a yellow sun was premiere (watch out for my review). Well now I am reviewing the well talked about LAGOS COUGARS, The movie has the ever flawless Uche Jumbo, and Monalisa Chinda. It also had some new actors that where quite good. As usually I would say what I loved about the movie and what I totally hated ( please remember this is my opinion if you don't like it watch the movie and make you own). 

What I loved about this movie are the fine boys chai! plenty of them, not just that they are fine they are good actors too. My favorite character in this movie was Diana Yekini she nailed her parts really well. I loved the dynamics between Monalisa Chinda and Benjamin Touitou characters although she has been a cougar in other movies, maybe that is why she was comfortable playing this part. Alex ekubo wasn't bad he was his usual hypher active self, only problem I think he has totally been type casted he should try acting other characters. 

Now for the not so good news actually I didn"t get the houston scenes, I was not impressed I loved the Nigerian scenes better. I didn't like ( my opinion) the end plot for Monalisa and Benjamin I wanted more. How ridiculous was that ending please?! I guess cliche works some times.

I saw this review from the internet :

"Desmond’s Elliot’s direction is inconsistent; breezy at times, tacky at others and the script by Bola Aduwo and Ms Isong is the biggest problem here. It is unremarkable, riddled with Nollywood-style cliches and bad dialogue. When a character tells her friend -with all the subtlety of a moving train- something about getting her engine serviced or else it will knock, you just want to scream enough. No paying viewer deserves to sit through such inane dialogue." 

I think this was not an accurate description of this movie, if you are one that enjoys nollywood movie you might just have a  blast watching this. Of course it isn't in the cinemas anymore as I am late to the party but you can always get it on DVD. 

Synopses:

This movie follows the lives of three lagos middle aged women and their relationships with younger men.

Enjoy the trailer:
