Plot: The movie is about three friends Tabitha, Pamela, and Peggy. These three friends were in search of white rich men. Tabitha ended up with two white rich men and married them. Pamela, after she got dumped by her black fiance, started her own search for a white man because she did not want to feel left out as some of her friends were all married to rich white men. She ended up with a 73 year old white rich British man who was known as a loner that drove his first and second wife to their suicide. Peggy ended up with an Indian, garlic eating man that she herself was disgusted with.


MY REVIEW:
It is not the greatest script movie but it is a very realistic movie.
It's about girls trying to hunt for oyibo men by any means necessary because they think its their meal ticket. Funke (with only secondary education under her belt) competes with Mercy Johnson and Ini Edo characters for oyibo men.
Funke's character searched and searched and searched but to no avail until she found herself a GARLIC EATING INDIAN MAN WITH A TURBAN ON HIS HEAD (she met him in a grocery store and pursued him).
Mercy's character had me in stitches with her new found white love as she competes with Ini's character - a 73 yr old man using walking stick - this is what i mean by "By any Means Necessary".
All the white actors acting in this movie was NOT GOOD as expected. They were so fake. The most irritating "white man" in the movie was that "British old man" that Mercy johnson's Character (Pamela) got. It's not like there are no real white men in Nigeria that will be glad to act movie, knowing that white people have a thing for adventures. Apart from the fact that it teaches us lessons, the acting was poor. I did not even believe that Ini Edo will act that kind of movie. Even the sounds were not properly edited.


CAMERA SHOTS: It was dominantly Close-up medium shots. There was also long shots. This was seen at the scene of the party Tabitha threw for her second white husband.
