When Love Happens

This was a very well acted Nollywood film. My experience with previous films from Africa that I've watched haven't been acted well. Though tolerable most are hard to take serious because of the overacting or lack there of. Don't want to offend anyone just saying this was a breath of fresh air. If you like romcoms this is a definite watcher (my word) 😉

This film begins with an attractive woman known simply as "Mo" (Weruche Opia) receiving a phone call from an old friend named "Jennifer" (Beverly Naya) excitedly telling her that she is now engaged to be married. Although Mo is happy for her friend she is also somewhat depressed by the fact that she is still single and has had no real romantic relationships in years. So to remedy her situation she talks with her two closest friends, "Tseju" (Oreka Godis) and "Tobe" (Gideon Okeke) to get their advice. However, rather than listening to Tobe who suggests that she should just be patient and not do anything rash, she chooses Tseju's recommendation to go on some blind dates instead. What follows is a series of disasters which complicates things even more. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a cute rom-com which had a nice plot and some good acting overall with the aforementioned Weruche Opia performing best of all in my opinion. Admittedly, I would have preferred a bit more comedy here and there but other than that I enjoyed this film for the most part and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
