Let me start by telling you that Nollywood sweetheart, Odunlade
Adekola will rake in millions anytime he releases a movie at the cinemas.
Whether the movie is cinema-worthy or not is a different tale. The fans love
Odunlade Adekola! Nevertheless, below is what I think of ‘The Vendor’.
‘The Vendor’ follows the story of Gbadebo, a vendor who
looks at low positions with disdain and has high hopes of making something out
of his life. He has a humorous personality which endears him to his customers.
He goes through different ups and downs in life until he is led to cross path
with an attractive benefactor and finally hits a jackpot when he meets his
wealthy biological father. The discovery turns his life around.
As a comedy, ‘The Vendor’ scores above average because it
really does make you laugh. Simply put, the movie is a funny one. But is it
cinema-worthy? Of course not! Did the audience like it? No, they loved it! The
entire hall found the movie hilarious. Now that is what a work of comedy should do
to its audience. Make them roll with laughter.
My major issue with the movie is the storyline; the story
had no proper structure, it was nowhere near solid, and the production seemed
rushed. Most of the scenes had a ‘comedy skit feel’.
