Cinema Review:The Wedding Party 2:Destination Dubai

You are probably in another country and maybe planet if you have not heard or did not hear about this movie,personally I loved the Part 1 as it shows the typical reactions,actions and chaos that happens/could happen in a Nigerian wedding, the glamour and all was second to none as well .it ended well and I was curious to see what the sequel will be all about.

Dunni Onwuka  nee Coker(Adesuwa Etomi) is now married and  pregnant  but the story is quick to shift from her and focus on her brother -in -law Nonso Onwuka (Eyinna Nwigwe) who had to act along in a mistaken wedding proposal to his girlfriend  Deirdre(Daniella Down)  but realised she is the best thing that ever happened in his life and they live happily after but not without chaos from the day till the  day of the wedding.


 Not So Good:Hmm ,Except for a introduction of new characters that brought life and were recycled into different roles,the narrative did not change per se,there were still a Shola ( IkechukwuThe Rapper) and Rosie ( Beverely Naya) to cause chaos , some  key members of the bride and groom family were still each other's throat,the wahala with the wedding planner just like the Wedding Party 1.Too many comedians and at some point it was a turn off for me,while some delivered some over did it  and I could not read/see any tangible contribution of their role in the movie.Some of the main actors in some scenes were also sort of calm ,they were only in their elements when they had to yell.

The Good:You have to give it to the cinematography,location and costuming.They were on point!!Mr Onwuka's sister played by the super duper action packed Mama G (Patience Ozokwor) was in her element!Ndi too much!!!!!!!!Obianuju Onwuka (Iretiola Doyle) was as cold as ever too,while every other tried,, I enjoyed these two,they  interpreted very well.chai they need not talk before you get the message they were trying to pass across,there were also some moments that will/might  make you laugh as well in the movie

The Wedding Party ended in a double celebration for the Onwuka Family and it sure took us  on a mini trip to and around  Dubai.


The Wedding Party is an ELFIKIE collection,directed by Niyi Akinmolayan and written by Naz Onuzo.

Overall I will rate the movie Okay(Save for the tourism&effizi,nurrin special)
