Movie Review :Pathetic

Rita Shonibare (Bimbo Akintola) is a popular actress who has personal struggles she is dealing with in her career  and home front as well.Her husband Raymond Shonibare(Wole Ojo) is a philandering,violent,bully husband .Rita's finds out her husband is living with AIDS and confronts him on his status,a conversation that led to her being silenced permanently.

Aramide(Dayo Amusa) a journalist who had a nice and memorable encounter with Rita decides to investigate the sudden death of Rita to make up for the unpleasant things she had written about the famous celeb .In her quest she hooks with Raymond who failed to get acquainted with her and opened the doors of his house to a total stranger he met at the club.Raymond tried to erase the murder of his wife he was not careful about this so the evidence of his crime fell into the wrong hands of Kunle(Taiwo Okunlola) and Loveth(Toyin Abraham) and the two decided to exploit it rather than hand it over to the appropriate authorities.

The Good:The movie tries to pass across the message that celebrities are human and they have their own challenges just like every other person in the society.I enjoyed the characters of Kunle and Loveth,they gave the movie comic flavour.The acting from the actors also good.I liked the suspense that was created when Raymond's phone got missing.It was a close shave for Aramide but she scaled through.

The Bad/Ugly:Some of the subtitling was not well done,the most evident being the spelling of Lovet  which should have been 'Loveth'.At some point Kunle went off his Yoruba accent and switched into Loveth's probably he was trying to mimic his lady love but it would have been better if he maintained his lane and be consistent.Towards the end,Raymond tried to manhandle Aramide as he spoke about raping her having not touched her since they met but by the time she was rescued by the Detective she didnt look like someone who was manhandled .

The long arm of the law caught up with Raymond and Kunle but we are left to guess what happened to Loveth the owner of the 'client'

The movie is directed by Ike Nnnaebue and produced by Dayo Amusa.

Overall rating:Okay
