Chief Daddy 2: Going for Broke

Omoooo.... The reviews helped me recovered from the sadness that enveloped me after watching the movie. I am somewhat glad that I was not the only one that was subjected to this torture of a movie. If I had not watched oth Ebony Life movies, I'd have conclude with others not to watch their movies again.

But in one word, this particular movie sucks. If you're reading this, I would really want you to go through what I did and would want you to watch it too. So many A-list stars with bad acting and stuffs.... Omooo, I don't know sha... A lot of people have put it better than I will. I won't say more than that.

I literally came of night shifts and settled with this movie. If you've not seen chief daddy 2, I kindly ask, what are you waiting for? It's incredible!

It flagged off with Rahama Saadus entry which was a good continuum from the former. Her entry gave a plot to the movie, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger", "If you really want something you'll find a way, If you don't, you'll find an excuse". In between these, were different shades of awesomeness, from the comical character of Famzy, to the love story between Dammy & Ada, to the embittered mum who was about to lose it all, to the sisters who had no clue how to survive, to the lawyer who got all too engrossed with the family, to the fancy locations used (big fans of travel can pick a place or 2), to the colorful African attires, and of course the new casts who understood the assignment. It was good to hear Samuel Perry's voice.

I'd say each cast had a role you could align with, some upscale from the former movie, some downscale, albeit too much for one movie. There was some discontinuity in some scenes and roles, by and large forgivable, especially with good cinematography and camera angles. All in all, there was effort, and it's a good movie for the holidays and the start of the year. The soundtrack brought back some good music!

I'll be recommending this to my colleagues and friends.

Mediocre at best. A mix of too many famous (famous not meaning good) actors and a script that has so many holes it might as well be a sieve. Need 2 hours worth of proof that Nollywood is mostly just transactional at the cost of actual art? Watch this.

Storyline is absolutely the worst, could not bring myself to watch till the end. Just packed many stars. How can I be 1hr into a comedy drama without laughing? Disappointed.

To summarize the plot, it was leaking like a sieve.

The characters somehow became a lot more annoying and unrealistic, plus no tangible development. Was it funny? Maybe it could be if you don't spend the near 2hrs watching the movie wanting to punch the director/screenwriter.

Why do these caliber of films make it past the home video format and into the big screens (platform wise) in big 2022? The world is watching, and these people are doing Nollywood's reputation no good... look at Nigeria's music industry for a change!
