WE are confronted with Amanda (Annabel Apara) who is obsessed with her father (Scotts Roberts) and feels nobody else deserves his love or attention, this obdurate tendencies has made her to be at daggers dawn with almost every woman the father supposedly falls in love with, where we see his current girlfriend (Miriam Cole) as the movie began been harassed in an unhealthy way.
Typical of Scotts Roberts who has been branded to love to play more of lover boy roles, who claims in an interview dated back in 2019 that “I don’t want to believe I have been typecast as a lover boy because there are a lot of movies I have appeared in that have nothing to with playing lover boy roles. We are all lover boys and lover girls.” Yet at this age is still chosen to act in this role though still fits.
The trust and affections the father feels for Amanda makes her very possessive of her father and would not want to share him with anyone, with this mindset she continually frames and does mischievous things to whoever the father brings home as a woman and this lead to most of his relationships being truncated.
While at home together, a new girlfriend: Andrea (Vivian Gabriel) comes and Amanda opens the door not knowing who the lady was, gives her a pretentious and welcoming embrace, this hypocrisy sets the tone for an anticipated cogent rejection plan, because the first welcoming hug is just a gimmick to make the father feel she has no ulterior motives to do what she has been doing to others.
Furthermore, for the other six rejected ladies, the question begging for answer is that, does this man just change women at will that within a short span he has dated and brought home six different sizes and shades of women as the local adage will say, ”he changes women the way a woman changes her wrapper?”
With this woman, it seems he wants her to really understand his daughter by giving a prior knowledge or a heads up of how possessive she can be, with this mindset he brings Andrea home and pretentiously Amanda hugs her making her feel welcomed and continuing in the hypocrisy this time around she claims the father has told her a lot about Andrea and she loves the name.
Though she seemingly complains to the father later, the father reassures her that “he has two laps for everyone so she can find her place and space.
While ironing her clothe in prep for the hangout that evening, she burns the dress and typical of Nollywood movies which seem to be bereft of ideas, gets same cloth before the hang out, how possible?
Also we see same lines, “my dad loves me, and I don’t want him to be with anyone else” continues to be the only language from Amanda’s mouth the greater part of her conversations.
This time around Andrea resorts to blackmail to get Amanda to cooperate and made her stay.
To increase the twist, Lanre Ayominde (Chidi Dike) appears claiming he wants to see his dad, how will Amanda take this? The guess is all yours the viewers. And seemingly and typical of a predictable movie, he becomes the hero that brings the reconciliation.
Directed by Richard Abagana and Produced by Ruth Kadiri, the movie like others appears to send a message that daughters of these days cant seems to want their fathers to find love again after their mothers must have passed or does it mean fathers with one daughter should begin to limit the love they express to their daughters so that they don’t fall out of their places and begin to gag their fathers from finding love?
