Genevieve Nnaji plays Zara Williams a hard nosed workaholic who is always single because she is too busy for love. Her friends are determined to find her a man and set her up with a guy played by Desmond Elliot, a self centred arrogant bore who they deceive her into having dinner with. After this failed attempted she swears herself off dating men her friends set her up with however ends up turning to them in desperation after needed a date for a work Valentines Ball. She goes to the ball with Tony, played by Majid Michel but everything is not what it appears to be.
I love love loooooove Majid and Genny together. They have amazing chemistry and make a wholly believable couple. Susan Peters is so underrated. I love watching her, especially in comic roles like this one. I heard her once referred to as a Nigerian Paris Hilton but I must say that she holds more value for me than a Paris Hilton. Bishop Imoh was great, he always brings the comedy. Omoni and Nse were great as the meddling girlfriends. The movie was well casted.
In conclusion I would recommend the movie. It was solidly good and well worth watching, however I was a little disappointed because it the storyline was so ordinary and nothing different to what we have seen countless times before. I think that perhaps I was expecting too much, and it just didn't live up to the hype, however the picture quality and sound were excellent, acting was great and in general the movie was well executed.

Grace's mother's death throws her life into disarray. She is unable to return to school and complete her education as her uncle has stolen all her mother's savings and is encouraging her to take up a trade and get married instead. Unable to raise funds to continue her schooling she takes the opportunity to go with a family friend to Lagos with the promise of a living with and being educated by her sister's family. Things are looking up, but how long will it last?
We all know Mercy Johnson can cry a river of tears and boy did she do that here. An absolutely excellent performance from mercy Johnson throughout the movie and particularly an early scene where she confronts her uncle over his refusal to pay for her education. She was excellent as the naive village girl. Mercy Johnson doesn't just do sexy as occasional watchers of Nollywood may think. She really is versatile and can do it all. In this movie she does the heavy sobbing dramatic crying as well as the tears welling up in your eyes crying. Kenneth Okonkwo did a great job in his performance but I felt like the casting was wrong. It felt like he was supposed to be younger than he was, in the way that he was acting, but was around the same age as Mercy's dad. They should have cast someone younger in the role. It beats me why they are always casting him and younger men when he clearly looks to be in his 40′s.
I really enjoyed the movie. Mercy Johnson was the standout performance and did a phenomenal job as the downtrodden Grace. I loved the ending then hated it all at the same time. This movie took me on a roller-coaster ride of emotions. If you watch it you will know what I mean. All in all a very good movie heavily driven by the performances. The story was run of the mill but the execution made up for it. Grab ya copy now!

Bernard (Desmond Elliot) and Ike (Joseph Benjamin) are friends and partners at BlueQuest a firm that they run together. They have a friendly rivalry when it comes to picking up girls. Ike and Bernard make a bet that if Ike sleeps with Delphine (Mona Lisa Chinda) a gorgeous divorcée that has sworn off men he will get 5 percent of Bernards's company shares and if not he will give up 5 percent of his own shares which means that the person who wins will have a controlling share of the company. Ike enlists the help of employee Mimi (Uche Jombo) to search all the major networking sites to find Delphine so that he can conquer her and win the bet. Things are made even more difficult when Bernard throws a spanner in the works by telling Delphines's friend Tena (Nse Ikpi Etim) that Ike is planning to bed her and that she should beware. Ike has ten days to accomplish the mission, who will win?
I loved the interaction between Mona Lisa and Joseph Benjamin in one of the first bar scenes. The dialogue was quick witty funny and some brilliant social observations were made about the different expectations men and women have when entering a bar. Joseph Benjamin is definitely one to watch out for and I have thought that ever since I saw him in Jungle Ride. His performance was smooth and very believable. Nse's character Tena was hilarious as Delphine's meddling and over concerned friend. She definitely was the stand out performance for me. Her pidgin English was flawless and she happened to have the best lines in the movie. The whole cinema roared with laughter every time she graced the screen.
I would recommend the movie, although predictable it was a nice feel good romantic well acted comedy, nothing great, but most definitely good.
