Uti and Bryan cannot act

Even that URU EKE cannot act,these are all wannabes,most of them even susan peters cant act too ,with GENNY girl and Ramsey i will watch
loading...
Uti ,bryan ,beverly cannot act in anyway,i wont bother watching this movie.thank you
loading...
there r so many tins dat will make not wanna watch dis movie & few tins dat will make me watch it…..(1) I hav a problem wit Emem isong using d same cast over & over again…. (2) Uti, bryan & dat Beverly naya gurl cannot act at all….(3) I consider Desmond to b 1 of d worst director in nollywood…there so many reasons i cant state now…d only gud tin abt d movie is Genevieve, Ramsey and Ini Edo….tnx. Samuel.
loading...
But this is just embarrassing. Genevieve needs to quickly shoot with directors who are shooting real movies. It is terrifying to see her in this kind of films in 2013. Emem needs to hire better directors to interpret her work. Desmond is a failed director.
loading...
as far as am concerned many nollywood directors cannot direct. only the types of Amaka Igwe and Tunde Kelani can direct, the rest hide under working with talented actors and stars. so far Genevieve is in it I don’t bloody care about who is directing…..she is enough guarantee I would enjoy my money.
loading...
Did you say desmond cant direct,u must be a joker,emem isong,desmond are so talented far more than alot of directors,i only wont watch it because of the fake newbies,like uti,bryan,beverly,but desmond ,emem are talented ,its a fact
loading...
you obviously have n clue what the craft of directing cinema is…..Desmond needs to go to school
loading...
dis one dat anonymous is replying anonymous, we cant differentiate btw all of u anonymouses…pls you guys shud borrow names or use letters..lol
loading...
lol… abi o… Anon’s please use a name cos me sef I’ve lost track
loading...
Desmond doesnt need to go to any school,i guess you are a failed director,who is only beefing Desmond,he is alot better than you. Which Film can u boast of,but Desomond can boast of very good movie
loading...
and life is all about choices Samuel, am sure Emem didn’t make this film for everybody. so no need to cry because you don’t like her film. just zip it and skip it, k? me and my unilag friends are kuku waiting for it to be released in ozone.
loading...
Yes oo, i agree. Uti, bryan & beverly naya cannot act to save their lives. Pls, wats wit Emem using The same set of actors in her Movies all d tym? Pls oo, she should change nau, we still hav ppl lyk Rita dominic, Omotola Jalade, Kate Henshaw, Mercy Johnson too…Bt genevieve & ramsey r in d movie, so i will watch.
loading...
U all r talking about Uti, Bryan & Beverly naya, wat abt Alex Ekubo, Monalisa Chinda & even dat Okon Lagos boy?? As far as i’m concern, all cant act…only Ramsey Noah, Ini Edo & Genevieve nnaji r appealing…and Emem Isong should go 4 new set of actors.
loading...
Even you sef that is writing can’t act, so what else is new? Jump and pass abeg! next!
loading...
i dnt c dis movie becomin d biggest movie of 2012 oo…i c movies like Last Flight To Abuja, The Meeting etc as d biggest Movies of 2012.
loading...
Last what?…..biggest movie?wow..,mehnnn hw do u rate movies..well,as for THE MEETING dts ok,but please dnt mention LAST FLIGHT TO ABUJA…wat waz dat?
loading...
my friends are alreadly excited without seeing the trailer….everyone is making noise about Genevieve being sexy lol. that is what am talking about. it will by far make money that last flight to abuja not to talk of the meeting.
loading...
have Emem Isong not worked with all the aactresses you mentioned? as far as I know she has worked with all the best and give upcoming people opportunity too. she discovered many actors including nse ikpe etim. give the woman some damn respect
loading...
For me the best movies to watch is the one mercy johnson is in,as for this movie,most of them are fake except Genny,ini,Ramsey..okon lagos is okay,emem is always recycling all these people abeg there are good actrsses out there .even new ones,not these ones she has here in her cast,all they know is being on a red carpet,especially that beverly ,uti.every event they are there,they cannot act
loading...
Use new acts bla bla now they all can’t act? Emem is using the same actors? Seriously make up your mind people
loading...
There are new acts that can act,or dont you read reviews here? They are far better than this uti and his friends,they just do things on sentiments,the clique thing,they are used because they are friends,that is not being profesional,Emem should watch movies and pick talents,not these fake acts,Bryan in I,ll take my chances was the word DRY.Beverly Naya horrible,so am speaking from what i see
loading...
Lmaoooo, why do i feel like all these ‘Anonymouses’ are the same people???
Was hoping for a trailer cos I also can’t wait!
loading...
Haha hep me see o… me sef I was thinking the same thing that’s why I no put my mouth for the argument.
I will update with a trailer as soon as I can find one
loading...
dis lyk every oda typical Nollywood movie, STAR STUDDED…i dunno if its me o bt movies dat r star Studded dnt do it 4 me at times… Genevieve is there so i bet it will b interesting bcause i lyk her choices of movies she act in… I also agree wit some peeps here that some of d cast cant act.
loading...
if not for genevieve, i wouldn’t have bothered with this movie. but i will give it a try….after it comes out of DVD..LOL.Emem Isong is really producing crap these days and there is no originality.
loading...
If I read this a couple of weeks back, I would have strongly disagreed with you but of recent and after seeing great crapologies like “Bridge of Hope” and “I’ll take my Chances”, abeg me gan sef I’m not in that much of a hurry to spend money on a RAA production. But Genevieve’s inclusion in the movie will definitely give it an edge… I hope
loading...
loool at all the Anons…..but for all those who always say make your own films before you can criticize other…..that’s just plain ignorant. Do I need to make a black berry and a nokia 3310 b4 I say oh the blackberry is way better? stupid!!!!
This is 2013, viewers get more sophisticated with the more movies they watch. When you are used to so many images from you were little till now…..there is no way you can’t say what is a good movie, who is improving, who acts well, etc. (Granted that this is art and everyone is entitled to their opinions but men…)
Desmond Elliot is a shit director. I have been exposed to too many good movies to consider him a good one. Okay fine, he is new in the art of directing but men for each movie he does not seem to improve in anyway. I almost cannot diff him from this really bad filmmakers from the east except that his pics are much clearer.
Now unto the acting, Beverly Naya, this is not hating, but your acting makes me want to pull my eyes out. The beautiful thing is art is not just for the talented, you can learn to paint, sing, do music etc….that been said,,YOU CAN LEARN TO ACT. For shit sake, go to acting school (A good one at that pls)
As for Bryan and Uti, I dnt think they are that bad….they need lessons too. No shame in just going the extra mile to better your craft.

Like M.I said ‘Go and hug transformer!” (prerably a wet one!) it will go with your spiky hair cut! like anyone gives a rat’s a** about your opinion! Over-sabi! Na ‘know-know’ go kill una for Naija! *Clicks hand over head! Hisssss!
loading...
Nigerians hate everything good! they haven’t even watched the film they are already predicting!! The same way they predicted Nigeria would not get far in the Nations Cup! Now they have reached the Final! Thank God they did not listen to the voice of haters… sorry I mean ‘critics’! I cant wait for the movie to come out! The eye-candy is too much!
loading...
30 comments already and they say they will not watch the film! I hear you! See you at the back of the cinema in your dark glasses and fake mustache! Lol!
loading...
i am quite impressed by what i have seen, desmond is now improving, keep it up dessy.
loading...
I understand all of Genevieve’s scenes were caught out of Half Of A Yellow because of her style of acting, it was very mediocre not up to Hollywood standard she didn’t do well unlike Onyeka Onwenu so she was left with just a waka pass party scene and that’s the best in nollywood, so i ask you nollywood reinvented what is your opinion. WHO CAN ACT IN NOLLYWOOD.
loading...
Because of her style of acting huh? Well this news is yet to be confirmed by the movie makers and even if they did cut her out, unless they specifically say so one can not jump to the conclusion that it’s due to her acting style.
Different strokes for different folks. What I deem talent might not seem so to others. It’s easier for us to agree that a person can’t act than to agree that a person CAN (I find)
loading...
All these fake ass failed filmmakers and actresses coming here to spew crap because they could not get roles in any of these people’s movies. If Emem likes, let her gather her family and make a film, I will go and watch it along with so many other people including all you haters who will be falling over themselves looking for invites to their premiere. Make una go sleep. Jealous goats.
loading...
All you fools need to shut up and appreciate thje progress nollywood is making. You guys are just shallow minded retards or should I say bores. Desmond is a good director and the casting is brilliant. They can all act. Y’all should try acting I bet nobody will watch. Big ups nollywood. Big ups weekend getaway!
loading...
This is definitely one of the best movies I’ve ever seen, had to watch it over and over again! Nice…..
