Movie Review:Lunch Time Heroes

Miss Banke(Diana Yekini) has been posted to Excelsior academy to serve as her place of primary assignment in fulfilment of her National Youth Service Corp Programme(NYSC).She is really delighted being the first Corper to be posted to the school but frustration set in when  the Principal  Mrs Williams (Dakore Egbuson)  is  not receptive, she is not assigned with work  a situation she didn't like   and when she was finally occupied to 'babysit ' the rejected ones  she initially found it annoying as the children were bent on frustrating her but was later able to win them to her side with affection and her culinary skills to make them a winning team that made the school come out tops.

The setting of the school in terms of staff   however wasn't well represented,that aspect could have been taken care of  even if it's to have waka pass people to portray it.((it wouldn't have been a bad idea if gave that full school feeling with more students too)While some may also argue that it has similarities with Hollywood movie  Lean On Me(according to my guest who joined us in while we were watching) it might just have  inspired the writers the storyline is different.The scene of Mr Goke (Wale Macaulay) didn't add any significant thing to the interview scene , his acts back in school was already weird /funny and could have stopped at that.

The movie is that kind you can conveniently watch with children  and this is rare to find in Nollywood .

The Movie is directed by Seyi Babatope ,produced by  Don Omope&Seyi Babatope

My overall rating i will say the movie is a good one .
