Plot in a Nutshell: Bella and Chike, two people uninterested in marriage, decide to tie the knot. However, Bella constantly finds excuses to avoid being intimate with her husband, Chike.

Standout Scenes: The scene where Bella pretends to faint every time Chike kisses her, leading to a humorous water-pouring routine.

Emotional Rollercoaster: šŸ˜‚ due to the film’s humor and šŸ˜• because several plot points remain unexplained, such as Bella’s mother’s terminal illness and abrupt character changes.

Twist and Turns: 1/5 – The movie lacks significant plot twists.

Biggest Flaw: The film relies on unexplained plot devices for cheap laughs, creating confusion and chaos. Unresolved elements include Bella’s mother’s illness, Chike’s sudden commitment to their relationship, and the ambiguity surrounding Chike and his secretary.

One-Sentence Review: “Tainted Love” could have improved by focusing more on comedy, starting the story at Chike’s proposal, and avoiding the use of confusing plot devices, making it a somewhat chaotic film.

Who Should Watch This: Those looking for a good laugh.

Overall Satisfaction: I rate this movie ā­ā­ā­ā­/10 because, despite its flaws and cringe-worthy moments, it managed to provide plenty of laughter.

Replay Potential: Likely a one-time viewing for me.

Memorable Distinction: What sets this movie apart is its reminiscent feel of the zany humor seen in older Nollywood comedy movies (shout out to Amayo Uzo Phillips).
