Movie Review:Carpe Diem

A young man Sam(Bolanle Ninalowo) strives to be like his friends who have made it but all to no avail.On a certain day while at work he comes across a beautiful lady and decides that she is the perfect catch for him .He finds her out via her name Fedora Obasi(Ini Edo) and they start an online relationship based on deceit .Fedora finds out and later calls it quit,Sam seeks the help of his friend Micheal (Chidi Mokeme)  to win her back as had fallen in love with her but Micheal betrayed him by seizing the 'Carpedieming' Fedora for himself.
The movie is a simple romantic comedy ,the plot setting especially that of Sam's vicinity quite commendable,acting was okay, nothing over the top .and the character of Mustapha(Ay comedian) gave us  his dose of comedy  as usual.There were other funny moments like the neighbour who always told Sam to put off his 'i better pass my neighbour' generator for one reason or the other.
I didn't like the 'up nepa' chorus as it sounded kind of artificial  and some scenes were kind of confusing towards the end but a flashback tried to join the puzzle back and give the film a safe landing.
Micheal who is always the hunter fell for Fedora's scam who worked with  Sam as the suave con  Mike ended up being swindled of his belongings and his supposed catch after all it's all about seizing the moment!
It's a Denziot productions(Desmond Elliot) and directed by Robert Peters
My rating for the movie:Tolerable
