Once the will is read, Chief Daddy will have the last laugh from beyond the grave.

    MESSED UP MOVIE

    No lesson learnt. Too many star actors. Highly disappointed in all of them. The big actors all of a sudden sound foolish in one movie. Those that are not comedians decided to try out with this movie. Unserious roles. Please we don't want part2. Its enough here

    Poor acting with shallow characters

    I really couldn't wait to watch this movie only to get disappointed! The whole thing felt forced and rushed. Porous acting with shallow characters. I was cringing throughout because it was simply not funny.

    Depressingly Boring and Pointless

    There was a time Nigerian movies did engage you. Now its getting worse. Its like someone just comes up with a different story and tries to force it on everyone by using top actors. At the end, the movie fails in every way. The director needs a reorientation.

    Another basic Movie

    This movie had too many high rated actors. None of them stood out. Everything just felt rushed and forced
