All you need to know about The Wedding Party 2 – You cant afford not to watch this epic Nollywood movie

The opening scene pretty much zooms from Lagos to London and lands us in Dubai where the couple is out to dinner in a swanky upscale restaurant. Continuing with the awe and shock that questions the supposed elitist status of some of the key characters in The Wedding Party, Nonso acts gob smacked by the opulence of the restaurant.

A perfunctory proposal gone wrong transitions into a clichéd surprise but unintended proposal and sets up the premise of this insipid sequel. From here on out, hilarity was intended but nothing truly hilarious was achieved.

What ensues is a slew of unfunny comedy skits featuring cameos from the usual suspects of the Nigerian comedy industry interspersed with gratingly loud and clichéd performances from Nollywood stereotypes.

Where The Wedding Party at least put in an effort to give some impressive breakout performances, Destination Dubai made no pretence about creating a level playing field of absolutely no stand out performance.

The movie was riddled with the usual tropes; grating histrionics, trademark over-acting, unintelligent/unfunny portrayal of stereotypes and a canny perception of the patently unfunny comedy that the average Nigerian audience finds hilariously funny.
