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 elevate it. It also seemed like they were trying so hard to fir in Okojie's Jumoke into the story line which led to a few questionable scenes. "Who's The Boss" had a good soundtrack and it looked good visually but I couldn't get past the sound errors. In some scenes, the voice overs didn't match what the actors were saying and it was very obvious. They could have taken off at least 20 minutes off the run time because it was longer than necessary.

"Who's The Boss" wasn't a great watch but it was entertaining to an extent. It's still showing in cinemas across Nigeria.
