    Splendid From an African Movie

    The casting, actors and production was fabulous, everything was just on point

    Slightly Confusing at Times but Not Too Bad Overall

    This film essentially begins with an attractive, young lady by the name of "Celine" (Brenda Wairimu) breaking up with her boyfriend named "Kenneth" (Isaya Evans) after discovering that he had been cheating on her. Not long after that, her best friend "Josh" (Nick Mutuma) informs her that Kenneth has been killed in an automobile accident which demoralizes her even more since she had rejected several calls from him just hours earlier. Fortunately, thanks to the moral support provided by several of her girlfriends, she reluctantly begins dating again. Meanwhile, Josh has begun receiving signals from his girlfriend "Neema" (Bridget Shighadi) that she wants to get married--which he is having serious doubts about due to a business relationship with a female client named "Belinda" (Illya Frank) that appears to be taking a romantic turn as well. Things get really confusing, however, when Josh sees Celine dating other men while, at the same time, Celine happens to see him and Neema together for the first time. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was an okay comedy which benefited from several funny scenes and a couple of attractive actresses in Brenda Wairimu and Bridget Shighadi. On the other hand, I thought that the film suffered from poor character identification and a script which was unnecessarily vulgar at times. Likewise, I didn't particularly care for the rather abrupt twist at the end either. Be that as it may, while I certainly felt like this film had its faults, it still managed to pass the time fairly well and I have rated it accordingly. Average.

    Too much profanity

    Really nice Kenyan movie but with wayyyy too much cussing. The profanity ruined it for me. They had the F-Bomb so frequently in places it wasn't even warranted.

    Please do better next time. Not everyone enjoys that kind of language.

    The movie was fine overall.

    GREAT MOVIE!!!!

    Dope work from Kenya. Africa is coming up to level with the west when it comes to the movie industry. The characters were awesome. Good plot.

    WHAT A WASTE OF TIME

    This was a terrible movie. Nothing fun about it yet it's supposed to be a romcom. It was supposed to give Think like a man but came of as a failed attempt at a highschool play. The actors were terribly bad at acting especially the main actress Brenda( the actors at alliance Française can do a better job than that) Most of the cast was completely irrelevant to the storyline and had no role in the movie. The character development of the cast was missing... Like why should I care about people who I know nothing about. We are just shown people crying and laughing with no real depth to what they are or who they are and why they are the way they are. The script was shallow and didn't make sense. The comedy part of the movie I failed to find funny because they weren't even convincing enough to be funny especially Pascal ( it seemed so forced and cringeworthy). The make out scene between Nick and Bridget was really fake and there was no build up chemistry in the scene between them before they made out. Overall the acting was not convincing. The directing was poor and the director should find another job hii imemshinda. So far I give this movie a 1/10 and that just because I can't score a 0/10. And Kenyans should stop being excited about such mediocre acting and expect more.(BTW why do they keep recycling washed up actors when there is real talent put here, sad)
