"Not recommended for intelligent people. Over the years, we have told you many truths but non-greater than this: Intelligent minds were not taken into consideration at all in the writing and in the making of 'Ghost and The Tout Too'. Thusly, intelligent minds will not enjoy it at all,ÔÇØ it wrote in its review of Abraham's movie.

Added that:
"Regardless of how flagrantly it copycats off 'Ómó Ghetto: The Saga' desperately hoping to shine like it. Unlike that one 'The Ghost and The Tout Too' doesn't understand that movie-making is rooted in brain-work and not in using cinema to do 'Yahoo',abusing stardoms to fleece fandoms.

"How much did Funke pay you to write this rubbish? The day she begins to find ways not to talk bad about her fellow colleagues or try to discredit their hard work or personality, that day she will begin to experience inner peace.
