Cast

Reception

Nollywood Reinvented gave it a rating of 3 out of 5 stars, commended the actors in the film and commented on the story saying "Not a story-line that fell from heaven exactly and neither is it one that has been photocopied till its death. Nse and Omoni’s stories both had their aspects of originality and their aspects of photocopy. However, the overall work was a ‘masterpiece’ (I’d say mistresspiece though)"[3]

Joy Isi Bewaji of Nigeria Entertainment Today praised the intepretation of roles by the top cast actors and stated that "What you would love about Guilty Pleasures is in the finesse of the characters, the subtly unravelling of the true story, and the absence of unnecessary or unplanned flashbacks. Moments of anticipation are captured in such flawless perfection and Ramsey who has managed to grow above the Nollywood ‘ahs’ and ‘nays’ into a more ‘Hollywoodic’ gesture of expertise launches the movie into realms of fulfilment.[4]
