The first film was alright and I'm a huge fan of Mark Wahlberg but this sequel failed in more ways than one. His chemistry co-star Will Ferrell is fantastic but it wasn't as hilarious as they were aiming for it to be. It had the potential to be funnier but the plot was too thin and empty. It lacked humor and had bad jokes and dialogues that made the film boring. The first film wasn't fantastic either, but it was way better than this. Most of the funny parts were included in the trailer. These actors are amazing but even their acting couldn't bring life to the plot. It's a very silly film that'll make you roll your eyes at least five times before the credits roll. Jon Lithgow's character was probably the most annoying followed by Gibson's -wannabe toxic masculinity- character. The film ends with a cringe worthy musical version of "Do They Know It’s Christmas?”. Daddy's Home 2 had a few highs that would make you chuckle for about a second but it lacked greatly in its plot which made it less entertaining than the first. Except you're extremely bored, I'll advise you to skip Daddy's Home 2.

SUITS: Season 6 finale

The 6th season of suits has been quite an emotional one with Mike's would be wedding with Rachel, his going to Prison and Rachel's death row case. Death row cases can get really sad especially if the suspect is innocent which was the case of Leonard Bailey (Glenn Plummer) who was accused of murdering two people. After staying behind bars for 12 years, Leonard Bailey was finally exonerated with the help of Rachel and Jessica (Gina Torres). During this episode, a major character said goodbye to the show. Gina Torres decided to leave Suits to film another TV Show 'Catch' and it was quite emotional. This episode showed a different side of Jessica Pearson, she put her pro Bono case first before the firm and fought for the freedom of Leonard Bailey. Gina Torres will no longer be a series regular and I was happy her character wasn't killed off like Will Gardner in the Good Wife, (I cried for two episodes straight) which means

Review- Who's The Boss (2020)

Directed by Chinaza Onuzo, "Who's The Boss" follows Liah (Sharon Ooja) , an Advertising Executive who struggles to climb the cooperate ladder while juggling her mean and vindictive boss Hauwa (Funke Akindele- Bello). She takes the advice of her best friend Jumoke (Ini Dima-Okojie) and enlists her friend Lekan (Blossom Chukwujekwu), a known play boy into posing as her boss but ends up falling for him. It doesn't get any more cliche than this. After watching the first teaser for the Inkblot comedy, I was a little intrigued and looked forward to seeing how they were going to pull it off but sadly, it fell short in more ways than one. The biggest issue I had was the lead character and the actress cast to play it. Ooja has been typecast and I thought seeing her as the lead would show us a different side to the actress but my perception of her acting skills are worse than before. There's nothing worth remembering about this story and her acting did nothing to el
