The Celebrity

Cast: Ini Edo, Omotola Jalade, Desmond Elliot, Mike Ezuronye, Uche Jombo.

Overview: Red carpet movie about the secret life of celebrities, and basically how you can never judge a book by its cover. Omotola plays a love doctor of some sorts who is in a relationship with Desmond Elliot, a "famous" musician, who doesn't like the way Omotola displays their relationship to the "papparazi". Mike and Uche are in a very ridiculous relationship and the twist to this movie is that Mike plays a very bush Nigerian footballer, who has become rich and famous, like all of them end up being.

Good: Mike plays the razz footballer soo well, he is very funny and displays the "igbo" culture well. Love the scene where Uche Jombo sees him cheating with the three girls and he starts screaming "Messup!!!!!". I give props to Omotola and Ini for there good acting, Omotola plays the love doctor really well and i think this is the first time i have actually seen Ini Edo act properly as she played the very Naive girl, going out with a jobless guy who wanted to start his own business some day.

Bad: As for me, what was with Desmond's costume, from the sprayed on coloured hair, to the earings and gold jewellry. Secondly, Omotola's British accent was sooo bad and pushed, couldn't stand the way she would have these soliloquies that never made sense. Not to mention Ini Edo who kept going on to her very ugly boyfriend about being his own "burrs" (boss by the way). Then there was a production going on in the movie with Omotola's show and it was really done badly, really hope thats not the way our Nigerian movies are done.

PS. watchout for a scene where this young guy runs through a football field as fast as he can for no good reason, just because he hears the police are looking for him. Really funny scene.
