YOU AGAIN

Synopsis

You Again tells the story of Kingsley Baraza (Nick Mutuma) who finds himself working with his ex-Sophia (Mimi Mars) with whom he has a sketchy past. In this film, character Kingsley who is an unemployed nice guy appeared to be very socially conscious. Mimi Mars’s character, Sophia was portrayed to be the low maintenance girl who got duped by her former boss. As fate would have it, these ex lovebirds find themselves with a job that demands that they must find a way to work together in a professional capacity regardless of how annoying they find each other. sounds like fun right? Let’s get into the review…

Review
This movie was packed with a lot of social themes like corruption, sexism, sexual harassment in the workplace, and high unemployment rates. I love the fact that “romantic comedy” was used as a cloak to create a very relaxed atmosphere to talk about serious issues affecting the African youth from a Kenyan perspective. In this film, you see Kingsley who is a graduate with a master’s degree from an Australian university, struggling to gain employment and the few times he did, he got fired for choosing to be upright. While Sophia, on the other hand, gets scammed multiple times by different bosses. She is constantly taken advantage of because of her naivety and her gender. I liked that the movie spoke about knowing your worth and always negotiating your pay.

Verdict
I Would rate the movie 4 out of 5. I know the story wasn’t a new one but the story took an interesting turn. I also like the fact that one of their main focus was on social issues. Talk about the production, it was excellent considering the fact that this film was shot under 7days. The dialogue was on point, no too much talking. I also loved the humor in this film. Even the comedy in this film was relatable, for instance there was a scene where Sophia tried picking something from the floor and she ended up ripping her pants apart. That scene was so hilarious but we were still able to see how the life of an unemployed youth that does not have a boxed up background can be, I mean she couldn’t afford clothes that fit. Another interesting scene was where they were about to go on air(TV) and they just kept fight and their producers could hear all that they were saying🤣🤣 workplace drama. The stars of this film need no introduction as they did justice to the film.
