MOVIE REVIEW: What’s the big deal about marriage: Veteran line-up unable to save mediocre writing

What's the Big Deal About Marriage" has a promising premise and starts on an exciting note but lacks essential elements to prevent it from becoming a snoozefest.Marriage is one of the major recurring themes across Nollywood films, from “My Wife and I,” which explored a scenario of a body swap between a husband and wife, to a recent release like “To Freedom,” which takes a darker path by depicting emotional and physical abuse in marriages.

Unfortunately, the moral lessons are not enough to shield it from the mediocre writing that the beautiful sets, the lineup of industry veterans like Femi Branch and Desmond Elliot, and commendable cinematography couldn’t overshadow.Yomi and Julia are childhood frenemies who fail to keep in touch. When their fathers are involved in a minor accident and recognise each other, the frenemies reconnect.

Additionally, the film stresses the importance of compatibility in marriage, extending beyond genotypes and religious values to opinions, orientation, and family background. Viewers are educated on the need for deep and meaningful conversations with their partners before saying “I do”. The portrayal of them falling in love with mostly cuddling and kissing scenes felt lacking. Engaging in heartfelt conversations or going on dates would have been a better choice.
