It would be this.
Plot Summary
Too Old For This is a movie about a middle-aged couple, Ngozi and Bolaji, who find out that they are pregnant. Initially they laugh it off as a joke, but after several visits to the doctor, it is confirmed.
On the other hand, their first child, Tony, and his wife are yet to have a child. Tony’s wife becomes even more apprehensive when she finds out that her mother-in-law is pregnant.
Was Too Old For This mediocre?ย
However, it did have some good points.
The premise of the story was quite unique.
The fact that we had a middle-aged couple with adult children experiencing pregnancy again was great.ย
Ms. Ebele and Mr. Jide’s acting was
They both have great comedic timing.
Would I watch Too Old For This again?
Obviously, it’s a NO
You cannot expect me to rewatch a movie where;
98% of the cast’s acting was dreadful.
Especially the guy who played Matthew. If a gun to his head, and was told to act to save his life, he’d be dead by now.
What the hell was with the angle of “Papa Emeka” trying to make a quick buck out of Ngozi and Bolaji?
Remember I said that the acting was horrendous, well that was because of the director. He probably didn’t have an idea as to how his characters should be.
The conflict wasn’t strong enough. Although the conflict started to add some weight towards the end of the film, it did nothing to make the film interesting.
I see that they were trying to be a comedy but the movie wasn’t funny enough.
My Verdict
I give Too Old For This a 1 out 5. It wasn’t entertaining and looked like the lowest of the low budget Hallmark-esque movies.
