Synopsis:

Two women compete for a man’s attention only to learn that his heart belonged to someone else.

Review:

The friendship between Mary and Rose (Lilian Esoro & Adunni Ade) was just fine until Kelvin (Bryan Okwara) walked into their lives. He lived a few doors away and when he paid them a neighborly visit the women were instantly love struck. 

Both women bent over backwards to get Kelvin to notice them. Tempers flared and catfights ensued as one tried to outdo the other. While the women competed for Kelvin’s attention, he had an ulterior motive for becoming acquainted with them. 

Let’s Talk. This is a romantic comedy about two women that shamelessly competed for a man’s affection. The problem was that the story wasn’t alluring in any way and neither were the characters. It was comprised of witless dialogue, irksome come-ons, and it barely created any laughs. 

The story was rehashed – we’ve seen some semblance of this movie before. But as discussed in previous reviews, this is the movie business and original movies are occasional at best. 

Kelvin (Bryan Okwara) was the main attraction and although he is handsome, I just wasn’t understanding his hair. Yes, some men wear braids and the disheveled look works for some, but his hairstyle was just weird and unappealing. 

What was interesting was how the women got all dressed up and put on their best for dates. The women looked like they were heading to the grand ball while Kelvin was always casual. Do women really need to overdress to impress these days? It turned out that the woman that Kelvin desired was as laid back as he was. 

Performances weren’t bad; it’s just that the story didn’t need to be told. It concluded with that common “happy ever after” syndrome where the couple rides off into the sunset but it was a farce because their relationship was never developed, therefore it was difficult to become engaged in their bliss. 

Overall the movie excelled at nothing and was just another run of the mill movie.  EJECT
