MOVIE REVIEW: Keeping Faith

Such an hawezome movie yo, lol. What an intro.
Ok, so this movie is classic! It stars Genevieve Nnaji, RMD, Funlola Aofiyebi Raimi, Bimbo Akintola, Joke Silva and more. It was directed by Steve Gukas and produced by Ego Boyo.

Here is a clip of the opening scene
The story is about Nadine (GN) who is in a relationship with Simi. She wants more commitment from him but refuses to take her friends' advice and use 'Jazz' on him. As Funlola's character says, "The charm makes love grow." Lol. Things end badly when she surprises Simi with a visit and finds out that he just recently got married. She becomes depressed and all, immersing herself in a new contract her company had won from Mr. Sampra Princely(RMD). Sampra expresses that he has feelings for Nadine.

After a bit of toasting, she decides to open her heart, and start dating Sampra, with the hurt of her previous relationship still in her mind. She reluctantly succumbs to using 'Jazz' on Sampra. The true test of the relationship comes when Sampra finds the charms in his bedroom...

Acting
Loved every bit of it, Genevieve played the young naive girl perfectly. I just loved how you can relate to her character and it's flaws.
RMD was as smooth as Blue Band butter when he needed to be and when he showed his raw, vulnerable side, you felt his pain.
The romance was a nice story and all, but Nadine's friends really made my day, they were too funny. They were played by Funlola and Bimbo Akintola and I found myself amazed at the talent. The way Funlola kept coming up with statements to justify using 'Jazz' had me stitches ('makes the honeymoon last longer', 'insurance policy')

Storyline
The story was really good. Considering when it came out, it was original and delightful. Though the love scenes seemed too corny at times, it was still bearable and even enjoyable at times.

Conclusion
It is a great movie all round. The dialogue was very believable, the people, even more. Everything came together well and what's more, you get to see a young RMD(fine boy looking sexy) lol.

So, you should let me know what you think oh. Dyu agree with my review or not. If there are movies that you feel should be reviewed, drop a comment.

Till Next time, Don't Dull!
