Success! You're on the list.

Let me tell you a little story about this fucker called Duncan (Ray Emodi).

Duncan is a man married to April (Odera Arinze).

April is not adventurous and is disappointing in bed (according to Duncan). In a last-ditch attempt at seducing her husband, she flops because her performance was subpar.

After her disappointing display in bedmatics, Duncan metamorphoses into the biggest douchebag on the freaking planet. He becomes abusive, both physically and emotionally. He beats April repeatedly while belittling her every chance he gets: telling her she is horrible in bed and no man would want her except him.

One day, Duncan loses his job and a friend connects Duncan to a lawyer friend of his so that she can help Duncan with his case. Duncan arrives at her office and the first thing he says is:

I didn’t expect you to be this stunning

Oga, was that what you were sent there to do?

And he doesn’t stop there, he continues to push up on her till she finally gives in and they start dating. They date for two months (while he is still married and actively maltreating his wife), and the lawyer asks him the

“what are we?”

question.

Duncan being visibly impressed with her top-notch skills in bedmatics, tells her that he is serious about her and would send the divorce papers to his wife to sign.

He does, but unfortunately for him, he suffers a debilitating auto accident which confines him to a wheelchair.

After he is discharged from the hospital, he blows up his side ho’s number, hoping for her to come to his aid. Sadly, she cusses him out and dumps him.

He is heartbroken and does the very thing you would expect first grade dumbass would do,

BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS HIM

Duncan berates April.

He calls her loser, a curse, the reason why he is confined to a wheelchair, a bore in bed and never do well. He curses her so damn much that she flips and moves out of their home, while he had fallen off his wheelchair and was too proud to ask for help.

Thoughts on Lost Sparkle

First of all, Duncan is an asshole – that is if you didn’t get that from my run-through of the story. However, despite my apparent dislike for his character, I cannot help but be unimpressed by the story.

Lost Sparkle had no heart. It was just your typical formulaic Nollywood movie that is bad enough not to be great and good enough not to be utter trash.

The acting in Lost Sparkle was so bad. So FUCKING bad, I doubt there was a director on set.

I do respect that they borrowed from both This Christmas and Diary of a Mad Black Woman, but it still didn’t make for an interesting story.

They tried sha. It wasn’t horrendous.

Verdict: 4/10
