Reception

The film was panned by critics. Nollywood Reinvented gave it an 18% rating, and explained that the storyline and directing was poor and very unoriginal.[3]

YNaija played down the love chemistry between Monalisa Chinda & her young lover Benjamin Touitou, it was also very critical of the uneven directing of the film. It titled its review and concluded that "Lagos Cougars was funny but not always for the right reasons".[4]

Sodas and Popcorn in its review gave a final verdict that the story was "...predictable and cliche ridden...".[5]

gollark: What? They sell computers. Semiconductor stuff is literally *the* most capital-intensive industry.
gollark: In a working electoral system you would vote for more representative people, not arbitrarily rule out some classes of people based on some requirements.
gollark: If your "physical requirements" are physical fitness ones then that seems like a different argument.
gollark: Why not, if they're mentally sound?
gollark: *Physical* requirements? Why?
