Critic Reviews
The Wedding Party (2016) Review: A Lagos Wedding in Meltdown
★★★★☆
The Wedding Party is Kemi Adetiba's glossy Nollywood ensemble comedy about a lavish Lagos wedding where two families, old flames and family secrets collide.
Yes. It is a lively, crowd-pleasing wedding farce with real Lagos flavour; ideal for a group watch, though the humour is broad and the plotting crowded.
