Nollywood movie lovers have a new film to check out with A Weekend Fiasco, a blend of comedy, romance, and drama that keeps audiences engaged from start to finish. Directed by Samuel Olatunji, the movie stars Odunlade Adekola, Bro Bouche, Ini Edo, Alexx Ekubo, Diva Gold, Chimezie Imo, Waje Iruobe, Lizzy Jay, Yvonne Jegede, and Liquorose.


Plot Overview


The story revolves around a beach getaway that spirals into a mix of betrayal, secrets, and emotional upheaval. Unexpected guests and hidden agendas test relationships, leaving no one unchanged by the end of the weekend. The film begins with Tobe (Alexx Ekubo) waking up next to his wife, Nicole (Ini Edo), in a scene that initially felt awkward due to stiff dialogue. Tobe’s exaggerated excuses made the opening feel unconvincing, but the movie picks up as additional characters enter the story.


Standout Performances


Liquorose shines as Rekiya, a provocative character intent on seducing a married man, delivering lively and dramatic moments. Chimezie Imo, portraying Emmanuel, captures a kind and affectionate man, though his appearance makes it hard to believe he could win over Nicole from her husband. Lizzy Jay injects comedy and drama into the story, while Yvonne Jegede adds chaos with her busybody antics.


Directing Flaws


Some moments of direction felt unrealistic, such as when Emmanuel is summoned to the resort manager’s office but seemingly arrives almost instantly after a phone call. Despite this, the overall plot remains cohesive and culminates in a climactic revelation about Tobe’s impotence, which drives the narrative toward a possible sequel.


Verdict


While not without flaws, A Weekend Fiasco offers an entertaining mix of romance, comedy, and drama. I rate it 6/10 and recommend it to viewers looking for an engaging Nollywood experience.
