REVIEW:
This is a movie that gave me a lot to hope for, when I saw the trailer… but is that not all movie trailers for you?

I don’t like this movie one bit. Its almost boring. Apart from cinematography, its nothing to write home about. Thank God Bryan is such a good actor, else, we would have been left with Ini Edo and her poor performance.
I’ve heard people trash Ini Edo’s acting, and I always say she’s smart, pretty, with a perfect skin. All she needs is lip gloss, and she’s good to go. I’ve seen her in many movies, I don’t know why she took to acting like a primary five student on school’s drama day. All I could see were her eyes.
Throughout the movie, she just sashayed about, in beautiful prints, almost without purpose. I mean… what’s her story?
The story doesn’t do it for me at all… except for the expository aspect of the beauty of African dance, I don’t get it.
THUMBS UP:
To all the dance scenes. It was amazing seeing the dances.
Costumes and make up were really cool. I really appreciate that.
To Bryan Okwara, for being a great actor in a weak story

As if the plot wasn’t poor enough, they came and wasted Sam Loko Efe’s time in a terrible ending… I mean, so all the trouble was for what? Maltina Family Dance All?

BAD:
I can’t get over the fact that all that scenery, and all the costumes, was just for them to make light of customs and culture. The movie made it seem as if the only cultural thing worth carrying along into the new civilization was dance.
The movie was going well despite all the weak links until it culminated to a really weak end.
I’ll TAKE MY CHANCES IS A REALLY WEAK STORY, and I can’t lie about that.
