When a wealthy man goes away for business and stays longer than expected, his daughter, Joko, must protect his MULTI- BILLION DOLLAR business from his greedy siblings.
It was very ironic that they used the word ‘billion’ over and over again in this film, but it screamed the opposite—it was tacky and cheap.
In the hands of a serious filmmaker, this could actually be a good story because there’s nothing as exciting as watching corporate executives fight for position and power. Unfortunately,
I have not seen Nancy Isime in even one good film this year, and this film was no exception. Her acting was bad, Tope Olowoniyan was overacting, and then when you add Moyo Lawal, MC Lively, IK Ogbonna, and Denrele Edun, I automatically knew not to expect anything too serious. But trust me when I say nothing prepared me for the mediocrity that is this IQ-reducing film called Move Like a Boss.
The Issues?
Nothing made sense! This film was giving olodo.
The story was silly, the storytelling was poor, production was not great, and the set pieces were unimpressive. The whole thing was just really, really ridiculous. For a film that was supposed to be about billions at stake, there wasn’t a single hint of style or luxury.
All of them were just annoying me:
The CEO – What kind of CEO leaves his company knowing he had a $15B contract in the works? What kind of CEO leaves knowing there’s a clause in the company agreement stating he could lose his position if he was unreachable for a period of time?
Joko – She didn’t know where her father was, and even we, the audience, didn’t know where he was. They said he was on “some exotic island.” Also, that was the best solution she could come up with? Who was that fake Oyinbo guy? Why did they say he was in London when the blinds already told us he was in Nigeria? Everything looked so tacky—his setup, the head he was molding on his table, everything.
The lawyer sounded uneducated, and I thought he was an imposter trying to take advantage of the CEO’s absence. Imagine my shock when I saw him at their board meeting!
Now, let’s talk about Aunty Wura, played by Jaiye Kuti, as the main villain. Don’t get me wrong—Jaiye Kuti is a talented actress with a range of roles under her belt. But when it comes to playing a character capable of orchestrating a hostile corporate takeover, she’s not exactly the first name that comes to mind. When you see what she did in this film, it kind of explains why. At first, I was just thinking, in what capacity is Aunty Wura standing up from her fabric store to go and take over a company? What would she say to the board? How would she convince them? Then they showed us the board meeting and the board members… Jesus wept!
They kept talking about billions everywhere in this film, but everything was screaming low budget. Any right-thinking person would not be able to reasonably suspend belief for even a few seconds to think they might actually have that kind of money.
Which brings me to the biggest joke in this film: the mask/costume that was created. That thing looked horrible. So, nobody could say, “What the hell are we doing?” Somehow, they wanted us to believe that thing looked like Yemi Solade. Nobody with properly functioning eyes and a head on their shoulders would believe that. You could even see the clip hanging around the neck area.
Move Like a Boss is a terrible time waster. It is every bit as lazily offensive as its cast and concept would suggest. No matter how starved you are for something to watch, there has to be a better option than this one.
