If "unnecessary" was a movie, this would be it. This unwarranted sequel to a barely manageable movie checks all the boxes on the recipe list of how not to make a movie. Bad dialogue delivered robotically by a star studded cast that clearly did not want to be there -check, convoluted plot - check, terrible script - check. Not worth your time or mine, skip by all means.

"Chief Daddy 2" managed to get all the fundamentals of a good film wrong, asides from good photography, of which that credit, in large parts, should go to modern technology.
So what are those things that put fans off- no way near a bang for their bucks in "Chief Daddy 2: Going for Broke?"
1. Missing Plot
A significant part of the first Chief Daddy film felt random and lifeless; without a convincing story, enough to pull the kind of star-studded cast it did. However, Nollywood glamour has fostered so much success in recent times so, it is excusable. But it makes one wonder, why return to continue the same lifeless plot?
Very few scenes in "Chief Daddy 2" seemed to have been the product of any thought process, and with the quality of talent at their disposal, it is clear the only thing the filmmakers did a little brainstorming about was money.
2. Awful Screenplay
Awful indeed, but only if there was really a script. One can actually argue there wasn't any, and the cast just said or played out what came to mind. It's definitely not every day you find incredible actors struggling to make good dialogues- but that was how much they struggled in this film.
Make no mistake, comedy is hard, but it is also based on facts. How does a footballer sit out an entire football season that's not even begun because of a grade 3 hamstring? It is insulting to the knowledgeable many who take football seriously in this country.
3. Horrible Costuming
Costuming is a cardinal point of film-making. There's an Oscar award for costuming. Yes! You don't just show up on set wearing what you have or like because you're a big star. The costuming in "Chief Daddy 2" was underwhelming, epitomized by Beverley Naya's (Adaora) outfit in the little get-away scene with Mawuli (Dammy) in Dubai below.
These three things constitute part of the fundamentals of filmmaking. A collapse in one department is hardly forgivable, but a failure in all three departments is colossal, even for a newcomer. And an established production house like the Ebony Life Group and Mo Abudu should know better.
