Meilleurs vœux de Lagos

I really like this comedy, I fell for Segiola's voice in the first minutes. The songs are beautiful, the story is well paced, there are beautiful actresses and not unrealistic skinny girls in western romcoms. The guys are not romantic but they proved to be sincere. I laughed a lot at the church women scenes. The ending is cute. I wished there would be more about the youngest brother but it's fine. Any christmas comedy has the same tropes... This one does not differ BUT for me, it's a relatable one.

As someone said, I didn't see the two hours running.

Please Netflix, I Hope you will develop more diverse films and series like this one.

My first Nollywood film and I love it! It's fun, light and warm. I highly recommanded it.

This movie had me cracking up from the start. It's about 3 single brothers who are disappointing their mother because they haven't yet gotten married / have no kids. The brothers all have different reasons why they're still bachelors and it's a funny movie. I absolutely love Nigerian culture. 7/10.

So many Christmas romantic comedies are told more from the woman's perspective but this one is told from the male perspective. I've never watched a movie set in Nigeria before, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was also different in that there were three stories told (though more focus was on two of them), one for each of the three brothers. I don't know anything about Nigerian culture, so I don't know how accurate the portrayal was, but the familial tension and church politics seemed familiar, something I think one would see in all cultures.

I would like to see more Nigerian content, based on what I saw in this movie.

I finally watched this movie and had high hopes as a West African because I believe the characters in our family are just hilarious and it would be fun to see the dynamics on screen. I really enjoyed this movie. Very lighthearted, funny and romantic. Although a mean character , Linda Osifo was also very pretty. I hope to see more West African films on Netflix to highlight that we are more than what is usually shown on tv and we have unique family dynamics. I would definitely recommend this film to watch during Christmas and there were many funny relatable moments especially for those of us from W. Africa <3.

The plot was pretty straightforward, we could guess the end from the beginning; it was a feel-good watch

DELICIOUS

---A beautifully selected cast😃 Linda Osifo, Segilola Ogidan, and Ade Laoye brought a fresh look to the film.

Carol King was elegantly stunning and the rest of the cast worked hard to deliver a natural and genuine performance

--- A Naija Christmas sent a nice signal to parents that certain norms have to change when it comes to marriage: "it's not by force😆"

---The director of photography and the color grading team produced quality images that blended with the festive mood of the film

---The art director transported us into each actor's universe with a detailed decor

BLAND

---Screenplay was ok, apart from the little twists, there wasn't anything too gripping. The lines were rather cheesier than comic

---When you have a big celebrity like Mercy Johnson-Okojie, you expect her to have a significant role, which wasn't the case. Hence, we started wondering why a regular actress couldn't have played her role.

Rachel Oniga's absence in major parts of the film weakened the storytelling

---Overall, Naija Christmas appeared more like an American Christmas movie mostly due to the Christmasy score and flimsy scene sequences.
