A funny, spirited comedy that is thoroughly enjoyable to watch. Good acting, great use of settings, brings out the various dynamics of Nigerian family, friends, societal struggles and quests for love and money.

I finally watched this movie and had high hopes as a West African because I believe the characters in our family are just hilarious and it would be fun to see the dynamics on screen. I really enjoyed this movie. Very lighthearted, funny and romantic. Although a mean character , Linda Osifo was also very pretty. I hope to see more West African films on Netflix to highlight that we are more than what is usually shown on tv and we have unique family dynamics. I would definitely recommend this film to watch during Christmas and there were many funny relatable moments especially for those of us from W. Africa <3.

I really like this comedy, I fell for Segiola's voice in the first minutes. The songs are beautiful, the story is well paced, there are beautiful actresses and not unrealistic skinny girls in western romcoms. The guys are not romantic but they proved to be sincere. I laughed a lot at the church women scenes. The ending is cute. I wished there would be more about the youngest brother but it's fine. Any christmas comedy has the same tropes... This one does not differ BUT for me, it's a relatable one. As someone said, I didn't see the two hours running. Please Netflix, I Hope you will develop more diverse films and series like this one. My first Nollywood film and I love it! It's fun, light and warm. I highly recommanded it.

So many Christmas romantic comedies are told more from the woman's perspective but this one is told from the male perspective. I've never watched a movie set in Nigeria before, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was also different in that there were three stories told (though more focus was on two of them), one for each of the three brothers. I don't know anything about Nigerian culture, so I don't know how accurate the portrayal was, but the familial tension and church politics seemed familiar, something I think one would see in all cultures. I would like to see more Nigerian content, based on what I saw in this movie.

As the title suggests, this is a Christmas themed movie for Nigerians. The story is nothing we haven't seen before but its told from a Nigerian perspective, its funny, quirky and the dialogue is great when compared with others available in the Nigerian market. Each member of cast is given adequate time to shine and shine they very well did! Production was good (obviously a Netflix Original so $$), pacing was great (can't believe I sat through a comedy of 2hrs without noticing), jokes were perfectly timed, all in all it was a great effort at a Christmas themed Naija movie. I totally enjoyed the movie, would definitely recommend (to my Naija folks!).

This movie had me cracking up from the start. It's about 3 single brothers who are disappointing their mother because they haven't yet gotten married / have no kids. The brothers all have different reasons why they're still bachelors and it's a funny movie. I absolutely love Nigerian culture. 7/10.

The story has a lovely premise. But if you're gonna tell a Nigerian story, at least tell it in a Nigerian way. I couldn't help but notice the undertones of Western culture (and yes, a lot of Nigerian modern lifestyle is influenced by the West,) but to go so far as even patterning the dialogue after Western culture, that's too far. The breakups and the relationship dynamics broke my last straw. I love this movie, but as an ardent observer of Western cinema, it feels like a copy. Whether it is a Nigerian copy of a Western story, or a Western copy of a Nigerian story, sometimes I just can't tell.
