PLOT SUMMARY: Kemi works in her parents’ flower shop, and she dreams of becoming one of the happy married couples she sees every day. Her longtime lawyer boyfriend, Umar has promised to marry her when he gets a promotion, but she is growing impatient. Still living with her embarrassing parents, she spends her nights in her room, planning the wedding she hopes to have someday. Then comes the day that she has been waiting for; Umar has got the promotion! However, when she arrives expecting a big proposal, he breaks up with her instead. Devastated, she goes on a delivery, and, unable to see where she is going through tears of grief, she gets hit by a car. The driver turns out to be Tunde Kulani, the famous Nollywood movie star.
While Tunde tends to her wounds, Kemi breaks down and tells him about her dilemma. Tunde offers to help her get Umar to propose. They devise a plan. They will pretend to be a couple to make Umar jealous and get him back proposing on his knees

They were happy but they wanted different things. He wanted to get ahead in his career and she wanted to get married but he felt marriage would hinder his success. All these people with commitment phobia sef, hiding behind one excuse or another. But then, all these commitment junkies sef, always in a haste to get married.( I'm referring to both men and women here cos contrary to popular belief, this disease is not linked to the X chromosome.)
Meanwhile, if you have dated your partner for a long time and they bring up marriage, then you start to see their faults........my brother, my sister. It is somehow oo. What? You did not see it all those years? Abi all the while y'all were dating, you did not know that you wanted to get ahead in your career? Love is blind ko. There is God ooo.
But then, sisters, I know this a grey area but do not assume to know a man's mind. If he wants to marry you, he should ask, probably on a knee or two. Do not assume he asked. Like my people say, "o and 0 can never be the same" they look alike but they are not the same. Please, do not assume that being with him for five years is a marriage license. I have seen 10 year old relationships broken. Even marriages break anyways.
Amazing actors except for a few of them that thought they were inside Telemundo and dressed like they were about get on a Barbie runway. The story is a beautiful one. Kemi really depicted that care-free flower girl that believes in a happy ever after.
The movie though is kinda cute and a bit of a cliché especially to ardent movie watchers. A few sappy and overdone comic scenes but not too disturbing.
Rating: 6/10
