Jafaican

I appreciate that this is a very low-budget film (boy does it show), but it amazes me that a bunch of people get together in the hope that their particular cheap film, will defy the odds and become a cult or must-see movie. Occasionally it does happen, but when it does, it's because of something special, an original script, a stand out performance, decent direction, anything. This has none of those things. Every aspect of the film is bad amateur dramatics. It comes over like a very badly put together school play and like all school plays the only people who should be subject to having to sit through it are parents and relations. Seriously stay at home and wash your hair. Life is too short.

Jafakean is total garbage. If the IMBD rating system allowed me to offer a minus rating, I would have dropped one on it FAST. Enlisting the services of notorious sell out Sizzla (remember his forgettable collabos with the talentless DJ Khaled?) won't imbue this trash with any credibility. We understand that Jamaican culture is coveted across the globe and one of the fastest ways for Black non-Jamaican producers to raise funds for their projects lies with emphasising a Jamaican connection, no matter how tenuous, but this outing provides zero example of creativity, has zero credibility and worst of all? It is so TEDIOUS my teenage grandson preferred to retire to bed, rather than watch to the end. A first, he usually has to be banished to his room kicking and screaming on a weekend. Rejoice. A cure for insomnia has been discovered. A big fat Zero on EVERYONE involved in this yesterday's chip wrapping of a movie.

Peter Andre couldn't sing and now he has proved he can't act either. If you want to waste an hour and a half of your life go ahead fill your boots. It really is laughable that some reviewers give this dire movie 8 or even 10/10 (obviously family or involved in the making of this cr@p). Just my opinion of course, but be warned, if you are a serious moviegoer prepare to agree with me.

I watched the Q and A with the director and Andre after and they both seem nice guys who had genuinely good intentions with this film, the fact that no one told them or whilst being in Jamaica, a place and culture he loved, why he'd not notice how poorly he represented it. Speaks about being honoured to film in locations hidden from the public (£35 for a bus tour)

The film is porn style acting and even worse camera work, I like Jamie Lomas from hollyoaks but what was he thinking, trying to be some delinquent chav, the characters were awful, the dialogue was awful, it's like they edited in the wrong scenes, some things that are said might be an attempt at a joke, but they come across as confusing and imbecilic.

Andre can't act, the ending again was one of the dumbest in cinema history, the plot holes were outstanding, I mean anyone notice tattoos? But there are scenes when things happen ( and don't get me wrong I love stupid humour and spoof etc) where you just can't understand why they think it's working. I get you have a story but it has to atleast make a bit of sense.

I'm not Jamaican or someone who's ever offended as I hate snowflakes but this film is needless and bizarrely cast, if Andre was a comic genius then fine but if you're going full pelt to do everything but black face you should have a good cast.

It's a shame the director genuinely looked passionate about stuff but also said Andre smashed every scene, they couldn't even get a grandma who could act. This was so low budget, so blatantly provocative that it should never see the light of day. At best it's a £3 straight to DVD.

This has to be one of the most controversial movies released this year. There is alot of commentary regarding the plot, acting ability and topic, not all positive I must say... however at times there is a necessity to see before you believe and I would encourage you to do exactly that before making a judgement. I for one enjoyed the movie, understood its intension and lighthearted humour whilst celebrating a culture with icons from a generation I crew up with. In America a rising star called Spike Lee was once embraced by his community to pursue his talent, recognising an opportunity to showcase topics to a wider audience historically blockaced from main stream entertainment. Fredi Nwaka is a talented British born film director ready to distrup the status quo of the British film industry, let's not miss out on our opportunity. 🙏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
