Success! You're on the list.

Hey there and buckle up, because we’ve got a wild ride to discuss today. I recently stumbled upon a YouTube masterpiece (or maybe “masterpiece” is too generous a term) that had me questioning my life choices, laughing uncontrollably, and wondering if the director was in on some inside joke that we, the audience, just didn’t get. Yes, folks, I’m talking about the one and only “Not My Man.”

First Impression:

Immediately I saw the opening scene, I just knew that the whole movie would revolve around this girl trying to โ€œchangeโ€ her brat of a man.

Plot in a Nutshell

Meet Carter, the living embodiment of arrogance and disrespect. He’s got his father, Chief wrapped around his little finger, and his fiancรฉe Nelly is trapped in a never-ending nightmare. Why? Well, it’s all about debts and shackles. But fear not, for salvation arrives in the form of Larry, the family driver who is secretly a wealthy CEO. He not only rescues Nelly from Carter’s beatings but also declares his undying love for her in a twist that no one saw coming.

Standout Scenes

One memorable moment involves Nelly’s mother whenn she was giving her husband some serious bad eye when he was eating. It was so intense that the man had to say,

“Stop watching me. If you look at me too much, this food will not digest.”

Emotional Rollercoaster: Emojis: ๐Ÿ˜‚ (laughter), ๐Ÿ˜ญ (tears), ๐Ÿ˜ฑ (surprise), โค๏ธ (emotion), ๐Ÿค” (thoughtful).

I’d rate it ๐Ÿ™„ (for those eye-rolling moments).

Twist and Turns

On a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being predictable, 5 being mind-bending), I’d give it โญโญ. While Larry’s sudden wealth was a curveball, Nelly ending up with him wasn’t much of a mystery.

Binge-Worthy or Savour Slowly?

This is a guilt-free binge-watch. I didn’t even need to engage my brain!

Snack Pairing

Enjoy a sardine sandwich with a cup of hot cocoa, especially if you’re watching during a cosy rain shower.

One-Sentence Review

“Not My Man” hilariously embraces the iconic Nollywood trope of a wealthy person masquerading as poor for no apparent reason, stumbling upon love in the most absurd way possible.

Who Should Watch This?

If you prefer background noise over silence and are in the mood for some unintentional comedy, this movie is your jam.

Overall Satisfaction

I’ll give this movie a solid ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ because, despite its absurd storyline, Nelly’s parents brought the house down by delivering laughs in abundance despite their limited screen time, .

Replay Potential

This is a one-time adventure for me; my brain deserves better, but I’ll always cherish the unintentional hilarity.

Memorable Distinction

What sets “Not My Man” apart from recent films is its unintentional humour. It may be a terrible movie, but it’s the kind of terrible that makes you laugh, and for that, it deserves respect.
