Apart from Blossom\u2019s acting, the rest of the cast was unreal.<\/p>\n<p>The movie plot was all over the place; the supposed twists beggared belief. We all know comedies ask you to suspend some measure of belief in order to enjoy the humour, but this movie was too unrealistic and I could not relate with it.<\/p>\n<p>No matter how funny a comedy is, it would have some serious scenes to tie the story together and pull at your heart strings, and give you some break from the continual laughter. This movie failed woefully even in this aspect.\u00a0 The serious scenes were unbelievable, and the acting in those scenes seemed like the actors were in a high school play.<\/p>\n<p>Continuity was a major issue. No real attention was paid to ensure that one scene ties properly with a previous scene. The resolution of the conflict left me wanting to ask for a refund of not just my ticket, but also of the time I spent watching the movie.<\/p>\n<p>The movie had no redeeming quality. Not even the costume or cinematography made up for the poor storyline and acting.<\/p>\n<p>When the lights came on at the end of the movie, we got some real laughter: a number of people were fast asleep. Someone voiced out the sentiment that we deserved a refund of our ticket fees. Clearly, I wasn&#8217;t alone.<\/p>\n<p><b>NollyRated Score<\/b>: Poor Movie (1\/5)<\/p>\n<p>NollyRated uses a 5-level scoring system, as follows:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Poor<\/li>\n<li>Sub Par<\/li>\n<li>Okay<\/li>\n<li>Great<\/li>\n<li>Outstanding<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Join Our Tribe on Twitter:\u00a0<\/strong>For updates on new Nollywood movie reviews, cinema reviews, and Nigerian movie personalities, join our tribe on Twitter\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NollyRated\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-schema-attribute=\"\">@NollyRated<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The storyline of Easy Gold did not slap.
