30DAYS IN ATLANTA REVIEW (2014)

Hello My darlings,
Before I say anything, please allow me to officially say that if you have not seen this movie,then you are on a very long thing. AY(who happens to be the producer and also lead character) chose his team wisely because the movie is what the professionals may like to call 'well made'. Notwithstanding, as the saying goes, "there's no perfect work of art" but they could be a very close to perfect work of art (LOL). In that light, I think the end is very predictable and cheesy. The character played by Desmond Elliot doesn't quite fit into the story. It came across like he happened to be around the set of the movie and the character created just so he would be part of it (no offence to Desmond).

That being said, this is a feel good movie that has a bit for everybody. A comic reality with a hilarious twist of romance. Now,who doesn't want a piece Of that?? I particularly liked the interplay of Hollywood and Nollywood with Nollywood taking the upper hand. Lynn Whitfield was phenomenal, vivica Fox and Karlie Redd too. Mercy Johnsons' character was one of my high points and of course Ramsey Noauh brought his 'A' game. 
Honestly, I think AY should do more movies because I have not seen him that hilarious anywhere else. The movie was shot across to continents Africa and the United States (Lagos and Atlanta Georgia)a story well told;structured and finely plotted;amazing cast and characterization;well polished. I forgot to mention well done AY for capitalising on the name AKPOS brilliant!

'30 days in Atlanta' is a movie I would recommend for anyone.
