Phone Swap

Such a beautiful movie. Stunning scenes of Africa. A beautiful depiction of an accidental love story with believable characters looking for more in life i.e. Love, family and fulfillment of dreams. Makes you feel good all round.

Probably the first and only local movie I have watched end to end and more than once. Saw it first when it came out in 2012 and 3 years down the line, I seem to love it all the more. Found some faulty scenes though for instance, I thought the fact that Akin didn't realize he had someone else' phone (especially as he read a text message on it) was a bit out of place. I thought the phones were similar but not exactly the same - bold 9000 vs bold 9900). I also thought the end where Akin kept the luggage in the trunk himself while the driver stayed put in the car (that's not so usual) was also faulty.

But outside those few quirks here and there, it was an all round entertainer. Good job.

I have seen this movie 5 times already. i really like the movie.

One word describes this movie, BRILLIANT!!! From beginning to end, the hairs on the back of my neck couldn't stop standing. The story line was simple yet captivating, the acting was bang on and flawless. The delivery of the movie was done with such ease and humor that I secretly wished it wouldn't end. Mary is a sweet girl that any man would gladly "take home to mama" (kinda made me wonder how she was still single). While Akin is your archer-type male, whom I suspected had a wicked sense of humor. The character of the twins and Mary's sister provided an appropriate dose of comic relief. I must admit I am extremely proud of the cast and crew, Nigeria was highlighted as a pleasant place to be. I will definitely be getting the DVD when it comes out. PHONE SWAP has proved to be a must see classic of our time.

I thought it would be quite boring, however it was more engaging than I supposed, good characters, good acting, marathoning Nigerian movies and in love with them... , by the elite population, sad observation, apart from the patriarchal machismo, the scene of the wife humiliating herself to apologize, on her knees, was outrageous, although it has a comical character, veiled submission, or explicit...
