From Lagos With Love follows the story of Ify, an over thirty year old lady who's under a lot of pressure from her family for not having a man in her life, her sister Chinwe who's marriage is on the brink of collapse due to infertility and infidelity and their brother, Tunde who is under scrutiny by his mother for getting engaged to an older lady.
This year has seen the release of a lot of forgettable Nollywood films and From Lagos With Love has just been added to that list. It had a very weak and cliche story that ended being poorly executed. Shaffy Bello never dissapoints with her actying skills and she did a fantastic job with her character. The other cast members showed great acting skills except for Jon Ogah. He still has a lot of work to do because it seemed like he was counting his words. It also had very poor visuals that made it look like it was shot years ago. There were also a lot of unnecessary scenes that made the entire experience cringe worthy especially the proposal scene at the cinema. I felt so uncomfortable watching that scene and I found it very unrealistic. I loved the themes of family and love but I wish it had a better execution.
