The Holloways- a nuclear family that fools itself as premium 1% of 1%. One that is loud, flashy and with no inhibitions to showing off their wealth.

Due to certain business actions and coupled with the death of their godfather, the Holloways empire is about to be reduced from a force to reckon with, to the glory of the past.

With the asset management corporation on their case, they are expected to maintain a low profile, yet the matriarch of the the family, Mopelola, is getting set for the biggest party in Lagos (her 50th birthday).

Akin Holloway is therefore prepared for the bigger fight, getting Mopelola to cancel her party and maintain a low profile or face an impending extinction of the Holloway Empire.

Misses

The roles played by the comedians featured in the movie seemed somewhat unnecessary as the comic relief they were supposed to bring in as domestic staff only gave the perception that the director casted them to engage their fans in terms of selling the movie rather than spoicing it a bit. Thus, brother Shaggy and Helen Paul’s character seemed uterly pedestrian to watch.

It is hard to pinpoint what exactly the movie is trying to say. The love story embedded within isn’t given much room to fly.

For a film that’s about the very elite of the Lagos , it doesn’t really serenade you with the opulence, the most privileged parts of Lagos. Lagos should have been showcased. While Lagos is not exactly as glossy as the aforementioned, scenes that topped the rooftop dinner in the Royal Hibiscus Hotel, would have sufficed, but we are stuck with familiar, ordinary aerial shots of Lagos roads and bridges.

Hit

The elements of a drama, which are plot, character, thought, diction, spectacle, and song, were all met in this movie. It is a commendable effort as a directorial debut and second production with a choice of cast. One thing Bap got right was casting, the right pegs were plugged in the right holes for the overall success of the film.
