Single and Married

Again, like you shouldn’t expect an amazing storyline, you also shouldn’t expect anything original. Romantic comedies are pretty set in stone, and I don’t think that’s as regards to African RomComs alone but generally speaking they rarely bring anything new to the table.

-Predictability: [0 out of 5]

If you can’t predict this movie from the trailer, then… I don’t know what to say

-Directing/Editing: [2 out of 5]

Alright, this is where the problem arises because most of the people in this movie could not act to save their lives.

Let’s start with the obvious: Nadia Buari and Eddie Watson. Both people off the bat are acting-challenged. Nadia seems to be reciting her lines without a glimmer of emotion to be seen. And Eddie? Eddie is just lost. Can not and has never been able to act.

And then we have the musicians in this movie: Efya and Tiffany. Both were fun to watch, they were very colorful and… and… well… they were very colorful. Their roles did not require that much exertion for which we thank God.

And now to the ‘others’: Kofi Adjorlolo and Tana Adelana. I saw Tana for the first time in ‘The Kingdom‘, she had a very subdued role in that movie. Didn’t require much which made it easier for her acting to shine. But in this movie, in a role requiring ‘more’, she did not do terribly bad, I must say. But she wasn’t as good. Kofi Adjorlolo, however, is an amazing act. And carried his role perfectly well.

Finally, the leads: Chris and Yvonne. These two were really the highlights of the movie. Yvonne does very well in certain type of roles (i.e roles that involve fashionista/high class types) but when the scene calls for emotions and crying and hurt, and all that good stuff, she is not as strong of an actress. Chris on the other hand. Not a phenomenal actor, but is very capable of holding his own. His final dialogue in the movie kinda reminded me of Kevin Hart in ‘Think like a man’.

On point

-Costume/Make-Up: [3 out of 5]

Well done

-Props and Graphics: [3 out of 5]

Not bad

-Video Quality: [2 out of 5]

The trailer was more colorful. Didn’t understand/like the tint in the video for the movie. And the lighting was bad in too many scenes

-Audio Quality [2 out of 5]

Fair

-Soundtrack: [3 out of 5]

I have a bias towards Bernie Anti. I think this was the same soundtrack from 4 Play Reloaded? Or was it Single Six

-Musical Score: [3 out of 5]

Nicely done
