Nollywood Movie Review: Miss Fashion

We got a knew movie review! None other then a Nigerian Chick Flick movie. Starring Tonto Dikeh, Oge Okoye, Mary Remmy and Muna Obiekwe. The movie was released in 2011 and directed by Afam Okereke. The movie is about Materialism, Greed and Snobbery (as usual).


Synopsis:
Mirabelle, Ima and Anette played by Tonto Dikeh, Oge Okoye and Mary Remmy are in competition over who has the most up to date expensive designer clothes. Not only this but Ima is competing in a Miss Fashion contest and will seemingly go to any length to covet the title. Ima is the most braggadocious of the group cooking up elaborate stories of meetings with designer Calvin Klein people and trips to Harrods in London all the while stealing her roommate’s clothes to parade at the happening parties that she attends. The question is how far will these girls go to outdo each other?


The main theme in both movies is materialism. In this movie instead of the using the latest technology by way of the latest RIM offerings to battle each other, this group of girl’s use designer clothing and the latest fashions in attempts outdo each other.

The movie is very similar to Blackberry babes. Even the screenplay writer and much of the cast are the same. Blackberry Babes however is definitely the more cleverly written script with more laughs per scene than this one. Although this was supposed to be a comedy we didn’t laugh much.

Favourite Scene:
Oge is berating two girls for having never travelled and boasting of shopping expeditions in London when Mirabelle comes to burst her bubble and expose that she is wearing her stolen dress. She tries to settle is by telling Mirabelle to calm down that they will settle it when they get home to which Mirabelle replies,“Which home is it that you are talking about? My home that you’ve been squatting in for four months?”

Conclusion:
The movie was funny in parts, but not really enough for a comedy. To be honest we felt a bit disappointed by the end. The story was underdeveloped, lacklustre and boring. We can not recommend this movie to anyone unless they were bored.

Are you going to check the movie out?
