A Naija Christmas

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.

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.

A Naija Christmas As with almost any new high budget Nigerian movie, it aims for comedic relief and heavily lies in tropes. A fairly straightforward plot that delivers nothing new, save being the first Nigerian Christmas themed movie. Because of the heavy reliance on comedic elements, the plot isn't allowed to develop to have darker moments as such moments were snuffed out (a little letdown.) The casting was sweet. Seeing many familiar faces from YouTube series getting a shot into the spotlight was thrilling! (Segilola ogidan, Ade laoye & Abayomi Alvin.) Mercy Johnson finally gets a new nollywood movie where she can shine appropriately (Seven and a half dates & the ghost and the tout too, she can finally be forgiven for those travesties.)

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.

A funny, spirited comedy that is thoroughly enjoyable to watch. Good acting, great use of settings, brings out the various dynamics of Nigerian family, friends, societal struggles and quests for love and money.
