The Netflix movie, Chief Daddy 2 starred the likes of Joke Silva, late Rachel Oniga, Folarin Falana, Shaffy Bello, Funke Akindele, Ini Edo, Kate Henshaw and many more remarkable actors.
Despite its richly packed cast and spot on cinematography, the comedy drama has an extremely “shaky” and “unnecessary” sub-storyline.
It can be said that Ebonylife comedy drama Chief Daddy 2 on Netflix movie has sunk decades of progression made by Nollywood as movie watchers are outraged by its “poor” storyline.
Unlike the first Chief Daddy which was released on netflix movies December 14, 2018, Chief Daddy 2 lost it’s touch of humour and failed to execute consistency in most scenes.
Chief Daddy 2, a supposed sequel to Chief Daddy did not play a successful “continuation” role as most new development in the movie confused its viewers.
Written by Bode Asiyanbi, with Niyi Akinmolayan as director and Mosunmola Abudu and Temidayo Abudu as producers, the movie tells the story of a dead billionaire whose family, friends and staff scramble to get a share of his wealth.
The Chief Daddy 2 movie was released on the 1st of January as a new year’s gift to the Nigerian movie audience. However, majority of the people who have watched it have complained about the quality of the story.
Movie watchers have taken to social media to express their disappointment.
Twitter user @Phrezzz criticised the humourless comedy despite the numerous talented cast in the movie. “What’s paining me in this chief daddy 2 is that there are too many talented people in it and they don’t shine. Forced comedy,” @Phrezz tweeted.
Another outraged movie watcher, @olaide_bimbo, said “The football scene where Mawuli got injured is the joke of the century. Chief Daddy 2 was a waste of money and cast.”
The much anticipated ending scene for Chief Daddy 2 was “inconclusive”, and more confusing is how the movie made it to number 1 on the “popular on Netflix” category.
Falz as a sole bright spot in a movie lacking a proper storyline. Twitter user and movie critic, @Diaryofa9jagirl writes;
I’m back to talk about Chief Daddy 2 because I feel like we’re being taken advantage of, like we’re Nigerians and we must accept nonsense.
All those amazing talents in the movie and they accepted to do the film? Why? Why did Funke Akindele, Kate Henshaw, FALZ, JOKE SILVA, Shaffy Bello agreed to make that film? WHY? Because it’s a Netflix film?
