Made this the last slide of my IG post because itโs exactly where I am right now. Iโm so much more open to spending money now; on experiences, little joys, and nice things for myself. Iโve spent an insane amount over the past three months, and you know what? Iโve been completely fine. So hereโs to big-girl spending, and doing big-girl work to earn it all back. ๐ฅ
The first thing I heard when I opened this ๐๐ช๐ฃ๐ก๐ Remi's new movie was Baby Wonder's cry.
I don't know if I'm right, but if that was actually baby Wonder's cry, then it does justice to everything I'm about to say here.
Kunle Remi told one of the most emotional stories in this new movie.
He titled it "Shege for Two." To be honest, I was expecting a serious-toned movie.
I mean... a movie that opens with Kunle Remi starring as a barrister?
But the intro immediately changed my expectations.
A baba who acted like a podcast host started talking about different kinds of wahala, threw a hilarious stray bullet at one of Kunle Remi's previous ALTAR CALL movie role, and then introduced us to another fresh dose of wahala.
That intro was hilarious. I won't lie.
The opening scene introduced the beautiful Teniola Adeleke as the pregnant wife of a lawyer.
The summary of the movie is pretty simple.
A pregnant wife constantly complains about her husband's busy schedule and wishes he would do better. The husband, on the other hand, insists that if he were the woman, he'd handle pregnancy much better because, according to him, she's not the first pregnant woman in the world.
As expected, both of them remain at loggerheads. Then... wahala.
The husband wakes up only to discover that the pregnancy has mysteriously been transferred to him while his wife is no longer pregnant.
From that point, they are forced to live each other's realities.
The wife gets a firsthand taste of what it means to be a lawyer, a father, and the family's provider.
The husband now has to experience what it feels like to carry another human being inside his body, deal with hormonal changes, crazy cravings, discomfort, and the constant need for love, care, and attention.
That was where the comedy peaked.
But on the other side of the coin, there was a lesson anyone could pick from it.
Both of them eventually became exhausted by the roles they had once dismissed so casually.
They desperately wanted their old lives back.
And when everything finally returned to normal... you can already imagine the kind of peace that returned to that home.
The only thing that kept running through my mind while watching was...
MENNNN... is this really what pregnant women go through?
The cravings alone? Wild Like Very wild.
The one that completely got me was when "pregnant Demilade" (played by Kunle Remi) opened the fridge, lay flat on the bare floor in front of it while the cold air was blowing on him, and when the WIFE asked what he was doing, he simply replied,
"Just leave it like that... it makes me feel comfortable."๐คญ I saw a lot.
And honestly, my mind went straight to every man who casually throws around the question,
"What do you even bring to the table?" Because...
Hmm.
As someone who followed the miraculous birth of Kunle Remi's actual child, not the movie baby o, I'm talking about Baby Wonder, something kept telling me this movie may have borrowed one or two things from his real-life experience as a first-time father.
Especially when you remember how present he was throughout his wife's pregnancy, right into the labour room.
I may be wrong. But something tells me this wasn't just another Kunle Remi comedy.
It felt like a man telling a story. Maybe his own.
Maybe one inspired by his journey.
And perhaps passing a message to every husband who will someday find himself in those shoes.
If that's the case... Then I sincerely applaud his storytelling. Ah! it was on another level to think of this.
Some parts felt too real not to come from lived experience.
There was even a robbery scene where he somehow managed to squeeze in his humorous rivalry with Deyemi Okanlawon.
The moment he shouted, "Jesus! Is it not Okanlawon's house they're robbing?" I lost it. ๐น
He also gave us two different versions of himself.
One minute he was the emotional husband.
The next minute, we even him switched role into the "BABA MI" Kunle Remi we've all come to know and enjoy.
If you wait for someone else to anoint you & give your permission to pursue your dreams, youโll be waiting for the rest of your life. Anoint yourself today.
