MOVIE REVIEW:IFEDOLAPO

IFEDOLAPO is a yoruba movie which stars Alex Ekubo(Dr Richard George), Tope Osoba (Ifedolapo),Jaiye Kuti (Richard's mum),Abdulateef Adedimeji(Dr Femi),Regina Chukwu (Nurse Nkechi) and others.
Ife and Richard are a couple but Ife is insecured and jealous over her husband and she always acts paranoid and causes embarrasments not only to herself but her husband.On one ocassion she even landed in the hospital and  lost her pregnancy.
Her husband becomes fustrated and had to confide in his fellow colleague Femi and takes him down
memory lane of how he met Ife and why and how he dumped his ex Ore Ofe.
Even after Ife was discharged and adviced by her aunty she did not turn a new leaf and this led her to lose not only her ability to walk but also her husband  :Eni to ri nnkan re to fe ku pelu ee (Someone who stumbled upon something and too possesive about it)(I hope i translated well)
The soundtrack stayed too long at the begining of the movie and if you are not patient it might be a turn off,Someone entered the hospital passed by the
nurses desk and he was not stopped  i felt he was part of the cast but he didnt have any role not even waka pass to play he should have been edited.Some parts of subtitling too was not done well,proper attention should be paid to spellings.
The acting,costume,etc too was okay though nothing to blow your mind just simple and good.The language  in the movie  was a mixture of Yoruba and English in the movie and translation done for each language used.
The movie nonetheless had a salient lesson to pass acrosss as the character of Dr Richard said ,"Jealousy is a wasted emotion"
