A great comedy film!

This is a great comedy film! Definitely Coming to America vibes. Beautiful filming / shots and has fantastic cast. A must watch! Recommending to all my family and friends!

Poor movie Confused plots, dialogue and theme

The African cultural displays were poorly merged, you will easily notice how poorly researched the movie was and they were trying to pass across a very important message but could not understand how important the message was to Africa and Africans.

The movie had some comic moments that could make people with great sense of humour to feel amused for some moments in the movie but nothing spectacular, just the usual over used comedy lines.

Of course the movie was made with Nigerian royal culture as the baseline but it was just not it. The Igbo culture of royalty that was used was nothing like that in the movie.

The movie was a very poor confused adaptations of Coming to America and Black Panther without any vibes.

So disappointed wastage of time.

This film is for if you enjoy a good satirical comedy!

This film is hilarious!! I really enjoyed it fully! It's very lighthearted & funny, but addresses many social issues in a satirical/comedic way! An impressive twist on the narrative and how it's portrayed. The sound track was very well curated as well and Akon played up his role very well.

Only thing is I wish it was longer. Hopefully a part 2 is in the works!

Highly recommended for a great laugh with the family.

And probably they come from Wakanda :P

It's not a comedy. It's a drama. Drama about who wrote this and who decided to filmed this crap.

Hilarious!

Such a funny film with beautiful settings and great music! Akon is so good in this role and the whole cast is awesome. A must-watch lighthearted film that will entertain you and make your day.
