Movie Review :Firstlady

Michelle(Omoni Oboli) is a prostitute who is indebted and tied to Obama(Alexx Ekubo) .Obama gives her jobs to do and she must give him the proceeds when she is back,failure to do so attracts beating from him.Michelle hopes that one day she will leave the prostitution job and meet prince charming.Michelle is also envied by her co 'ashewos'(prostitute)
Chairman Delta Atlantic company wants his only son Kelechi(Joseph Benjamin &Chinedu Ikedezie ) to take over from him when he retires,an idea Chike his brother not pleased with.Chike meets with a certain Prince:Son of the soil(Tony Monjaro) who promises to help him.
Prince's promise came to pass as Kelechi was turned into a small boy a situation that eventually sent Kelechi's father to his untimely grave.
 Laudable:I found the fairy tale adaptation commendable because really someone waking up as a small boy only happens in that of world except one  views it from the African angle stories(you know what i am talking about)It was also good to see the Michelle and Obama in their new characters as i don't remember seeing them in this kind of roles before.The twist was also good because one will think Micheal(Udoka Onyeka) was going to be Michelle's prince charming but it was not so.Some of the scenes were also a bit funny though not laughing your ass off.
Not so good:For each time the siren was heard of the police trying to come and arrest the prostitutes on the street one will not see it come close or drive past after the ladies of the night run to hide.Son of the soil also  asked Chike to get him Michelle as part of their alliance/agreement and with the way he showed up at Chike's one will think will have no option than to make sure he got Michelle for him so we were left to figure out and conclude what happened from that angle.
Kelechi returned back to his normal size.assumed his role in his father's company,sacked his uncle Chike and ends up with Michelle.
My overall rating:Okay
The movie is written and directed by Omoni Oboli.
Executive Producers.Nnamdi Oboli and Omoni Oboli
