THE RAZZ GUY
1. The movie performs the simple role of educating on the ills of pride.
2. The locations were pretty decent for the individual scenes.
1. The wardrobe team needs to up their game ahead of next projects. Most scenes showed a rough shirt worn by the main cast, common there's a pressing iron to be used.
2. The Cinematography did look like low-budget, some scenes seemed to have inaudible audio
3. Some strictly-comedy scenes were overflogged. C'mon we don't have all the time in the world, yes, we've laughed, overdoing it makes it stale.
A movie which rides on the strength of moral teaching. A good watch also.

Star Performer- Nancy Isime
Asides the veterans, Tina Mba, Norbert Young, and Iretiola Doyle who had quite few roles, Nancy Isime does take the Star Act prize home. She really executed her role with utmost professionalism and conviction.
Can -do- better Performer – Lasisi Elenu
Being the main cast in the movie, Nosa Afolabi a.k.a Lasisi Elenu was expected to deliver nothing short of excellence and prowess , nothing less than top notch acting would be accepted, however, it did seem Lasisi struggled with some scenes especially scenes he was required to speak proper articulated English. Taking nothing away from him, he’s such an amazing comedian.
The movie streams on Netflix
