I wasnt sure if i wanted to see this movie, after going through the "Beyonce and Rihanna" trauma but i decided to give this one a shot afterall these days i have been on a jolly nollywood ride hoping for a smooth sail but so far, i just hope i dont sink with this boat oh....

Now back to the movie Shakira...

Written, produced and directed by: Pascal Amanfo

Starring: Mercy Johnson, Majid Michel, Kofi Adjorlolor


Synopsis:  Richie is completely heart broken when he finds his girlfriend in the arms of another man. Everything seems awry till Shakira comes into the picture and then he thought he had found love and they were ready to do everything to cement their love, everything including making huge sacrifices for each other or so he thought but he was in for a big shock.

My thoughts: The whole of part one was wasted on Richie (Majid) drinking himself and crying over heartbreak so the FF (fast forward) button on the remote would come in handy. But when Shakira came into the picture, things normalized a bit, i wasnt sure what did it for me, was it the sex scenes, it was too much, Majid and Mercy were on fire, they almost tore each other apart, and whats with Mercy being completely nasty in this role, i know she is one actress who likes to give her all in every role but sometimes it always seems a bit too much, and you know red wine is good when you have had a considerable dose but too much gets you drowsy and then drunk....

Majid is a fierce actor, that boy is pure talent, ghanawood your boy was on point in this one, he was terrific and i just want to see him in beautiful scripts that are well directed. The movie overall wasnt a bad watch, nollywood wise, it just was in that bracket where i would say it just couldnt be termed so good, yet couldnt pass for so bad either, would i recommend it? For a nollywood watcher, yes! Would i see it more than once? Seriously, except for those kissing scenes, NO!
