MOVIE REVIEW: ALAKADA RELOADED, AN ELABORATE HOAX TO COLLECT MONEY FROM NIGERIANS

A big screen answer to Jennifer Akindele’s Jenifa, Alakada reloaded is a meh attempt. The Falz-rescue style of speaking, extreme lies and generic ‘grass to grace’ stories have been over told, much like Humblesmith singing Osinachi

Alakada Reloaded continues telling the story of Yetunde Animashaun, a young girl from a poor family background from the earlier two stories. Exploring the same inferiority complex and societal pressures from the first two films, she makes up stories about her financial status in order to fit in and stand out in the crowd.
Assembling Odunlade Adekola, 



Kemi Lala Akindoju, Iyabo Ojo, Kehinde Bankole, Woli Arole, Nedu, Helen Paul, Lilian Esoro, Annie Idibia, Bidemi Kosoko, Liz Da Silva, Gabriel Afolayan, Comedian Ebiye; the currently hot actors, the film is however riddled with unnecessary cast members as well as scenes. The outlook to the movie is the same with Jenifa and its predecessors but it tells a deeper story well in its own right – Don’t try to live above and beyond your means. The story in itself seems like rushed work. Without proper attention taken to storytelling, character development and dialogue progression altogether.

The story in itself seems like rushed work. Without proper attention taken to storytelling, character development and dialogue progression all together, Alakada is somewhat annoying. There is no way the discontinuity in this movie was not planned, the audio and video editing was worse off and this project seems like a haphazardly done and rushed body of work
