Synopsis: 

Just two days before the wedding, a groom’s ex-girfriend comes to town with a surprise that tests his relationship with his fiancée.  

Review:

When Ama (Stella Damasus) suddenly reappeared in Kole’s (O.C. Ukeje) life, the past came rushing back. Ama is his ex-girlfriend and their relationship ended on bad terms.

Kole later became engaged to Ketche (Keira Hewatch) and he remained obligated to her…that is until Ama announced that they have a daughter together.

The timing of the news couldn’t have been any worse and Kole wasn’t sure if he should tell Ketche and if so, how. The situation also caused havoc on their friends’ lives when they argued about what decision was best.

Let’s Talk. “Two Brides and a Baby” is upbeat and moved at an even pace. However, at the end of the day, the situation with Kole, his fiancée and ex, wasn’t so detrimental.

The truth of the matter is Ama was from Kole’s past. He did not cheat on Ketche therefore the trust between Kole and Ketche wasn’t broken. Yes, there was a child involved but Kole didn’t have to choose between his fiancee and child.

Ketche thought perhaps Kole still harbored feelings for Ama but even if he did, those feelings were not stronger than his love for her.

What became clear in the story is that Ama didn’t really want Kole back; she wanted revenge.  She was actually engaged to Kole at one time and he dumped her when she announced she was pregnant. This information makes Kole’s integrity questionable and makes one wonder if he’s the right man for Ketche, or any woman for that matter.  

One scene worth mentioning was when Ama drugged Kole just to take a picture of him with the baby. That was a bit ridiculous and lame. And why was the movie titled “Two Brides and a Baby” when there’s only one bride? Was the title “My Bride, My Baby, and My Baby Momma” taken? (Just kidding. Lol)

Ultimately, we do see Ketche and Kole’s wedding and guess what? Ama shows up. She was uninvited and her presence there, especially because of the all the uproar she caused, was inappropriate. There should have been a scene where she was kicked out of the church. 

What’s great about this movie? The acting. The emotion revolving the situation was raw and heartfelt.  We can see and feel Kole’s conflicted emotions and Ketche’s pain and love for Kole.

The casting was spot on and the baby was such a cutie pie. The supporting cast was equally talented and it’s the performances that reels the audience in.

Not a dull moment here, making “Two Brides and a Baby” a joy to watch. RECOMMEND
