the wedding party nigerian movie wedding dress

So you can imagine my excitement seeing the trailer of The Wedding Party, since the proper Nigerian wedding was the backdrop of the movie.Īnyway, enough rambling, I’ll go straight to my take on the wedding party. Movies like ‘Violated”, “Rattlesnake”, “Forever”, “Peacemaker”, “Taboo”, are examples of what’s missing in Nollywood today. We have a lot of Hollywood inspired movies, which never seem to cut across the true Nigerian populace. In recent times, Nollywood movies have waned from telling captivating stories stories that depict our rich, dramatic and Nigerian culture. So you can imagine my expectations were at an all time high. In addition, my love for Kemi Adetiba was another reason I looked forward to this blockbuster. The hype surrounding this movie was sooo good that I had to see it. I mean, one month after its release and tickets were still sold out. Was very impressed with the hype to see the movie. Best believe, it will win a lot of awards in 2017. Nigerian movies need to learn to not rush movie endings.

As usual, just like Fifty, the ending was rushed.

Beverly Naya trying to be sexy was funny tbh.

I understand they had to let all the secrets out, but no, it was all wrong.

The robbery scene was very unnecessary.

The soundtracks were much in sync with the scenes.

Big ups to Zainab Balogun for portraying the role of the wedding planner very well!.

The bridesmaids, Somkele Iyamah-Idhalama and Daniella Down were beautiful!.

He had an amazing connection with Adesua Etomi.

Banky W also did a good job, considering the fact that this is his first act.

They are both amazing actresses who played their roles very well.

My favorite characters were Ireti Doyle and Sola Sobowale.

I liked how they showcased all the beautiful parts of Lagos.

The production was spot on and very impressive.

It showcases the typical Nigerian wedding with the glitz, glamor and razzmatazz. The mother of the groom, Obianuju (Ireti Doyle) despises the bride and her family while Dozie’s ex (Beverly Naya) tries everything possible to ruin the wedding. The couple took a vow of chastity and is looking forward to a ground-breaking first night together as a married couple. The movie tells the story of Dunni Coker (Adesua Etomi), the only daughter of her parents about to marry the love of her life, Dozie (Banky W). The Wedding Party is a 2016 Nigerian romantic comedy drama from the stables of ELFIKE Film Collective. Let us know what you think about the movie in the comments box and add your rating too 🙂 I finally saw The Wedding Party and as usual, this is MY OPINION about the movie.
