My rating is: 10%

Should you watch it: NO

Performance of the Actors:You will never get back the hours from this movie. A complete waste of time... NOTE: If you haven't noticed I'm not playing with Nollywood this year.

Now she goes around and steels and uses men at her will against the family wishes. She even steels her sister’s Boyfriend. But God reigns supreme and A tough lesson in life is learned by all.


My rating is: 30%

Should you watch it: Not unless you have nothing better to do.  Like watch Paint dry LOL

Performance of the Actors: I've noticed lately that Desmond is getting a little too fat. Maybe all that time in the US didn't do him any good. Anyways Jackie was just ok as well but quite frankly it was the actress that played the sister that did it for me. She was good. The main characters names of hilarious Jackie plays Immaculate and nothing can be farther from the truth and the other actress played Gift. LOL. The killer here was that the movie was way too long. It was a good subject... What happens when the parents stop being parents and are always the pastor in and outside of the home? But they couldn't tie the issues the characters faced in a sensible dialogue. This movie is only a watch if you are getting your hair braided or something.

I Belong

Her parents are poor and live in the  village but Agbonnah live  in Lagos and lies to everyone that she was born and  raised in the USA.  She tells people that  her parents are rich and  still live in the States . will her lies finally caught up with her ? 
This movie is just hilarious.  It is  really amazing how Omotola gets into the character of Imperial. 


My rating is:80%

Performance of the Actors: Omotola was just amazing a usual, she made the character believable.

Nancy uses this head over heels type of fall to her advantage by pilfering money from Kevin in return for no love. Lies after lies and deceptions after deceptions on Nancy’s part the relationship continues.( Source).
I read a review about this movie before watching it  and I really thought that  it was going to  be a good one. I was disappointed    because there was really no story line . Just a girl cheating on her boyfriend and getting caught all the time . I did not finish the whole thing because it was not going anywhere.

My rating is: 30%

Should you watch it: nope , boring

Performance of the Actors: just ok

My rating is: 80%

Should you watch it: YES


Performance of the Actors: This one is good I think the story line got me. It seems there is always someone or something in a man's or woman’s life that they have to get rid of when they get married. The problem is that most of us don't realize what that is until after we say "I DO" Hence the title after the wedding. It's well written and shows a somewhat realistic side of marital issues and how that can destroy and how things can be mended. Take a peek a good date movie for married couples.

Genre: Romance, friendship, Drama,

Overall
I was  finally  able  to watch what some called one of the hottest  and ground breaking Ghanaian movie.

One just got married but  the husband does not perform in bed. One sleeps with every  men she can gets her hands on and one is having  hard  times  finding a husband.The Perfect Picture offers a colorful and humorous insight into a world where everything is as perfect as your life and that of your friends.If I  give you more details then the movie will be spoiled . All I can say is that it is a must see movie. This is nothing like your usual ghanawood . 

My rating is: 90%

Should you watch it:  Yes you should watch it . I think many women would relate to story line of the movie      Although I felt  that the movie should have ended differently .

Performance of the Actors: Good
