Nollywood Movie Review: Why Marry?

I just took a look at the movie Why marry. A nice Ghanian comedy starring Majid Michael (hottie) and Yvonne Okoro. Let me first tell you about the storyline and then I'll tell you my opinion.


Storyline:
William and Janice are a married couple with a strong, loving and playful marriage. They enjoy each other’s company and married life immensely when one day out of the blue things change. William says that it is Janice that changed, “she talks to me with disgust like I wasn’t even there.” Her point of view is that his shadiness has brought about a lack of trust and thus her ill treatment of him. A very strong and loving marriage relationship turns to one full of bickering and resentment. Where did it all go wrong and can it be turned back around?

We see some issues that can affect married life such as laziness, resentment, lack of support and nagging.

Some scenes were hilarious, both Yvonne and Majid did a great job, not just in this scene but throughout the movie. I have to give credits to Majid beacause for once he is not playing the angry or violent guy.

My memorable scene was the one that Janice and William went out for their anniversary meal at a swanky restaurant and Janice overate in an attempt to show off the amount and quality of food that they can afford to friends. When she tried to rush to the toilet Majid questions her,

“You are going to take a shit? Wait wait wait. That’s not going to happen. 800 Ghana cedis just went through your system and you are going to shit it out? In my toilet bowl? In less than 15 minutes. Are you out of your mind?”

That was funny!

Conclusion:
I like the movie it had a nice storyline and I will not hold you back if you want to see the movie too, but some scenes were very boring. There was too much dialogue less space and I didn’t feel like the characters were fully developed. There were no real issues discussed in depth, which meant that there was no focus to the story, neither was there a big climax. It was steady but some parts dragged for me. Towards the end of the movie I was too ready for it to be done.
