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.
