In Old and Sweet, Nollywood favourite Nosa Rex (Baba Rex) brings his signature charm to a beautifully emotional story about unexpected love, age difference, and the courage to follow one’s heart even when the world disapproves.

The film follows a young man (played by Nosa Rex) who falls deeply in love with an older, graceful woman whose quiet strength and gentle spirit captivate him. Their romance blossoms naturally—sweet moments, soft conversations, and genuine chemistry that remind viewers of the softer side of Nollywood love stories.

But their happiness is quickly challenged when the woman’s children discover the relationship. Convinced that Nosa’s character is “too young” for their mother, they reject the love completely, stirring tension and heartbreak. Their disapproval becomes the central conflict of the movie, raising emotional questions about age, society, and who truly gets to decide where love should come from.

Nosa Rex shines brilliantly in this role. His portrayal is warm, innocent, and deeply sincere—capturing the tenderness of a man who loves without shame and stands fearlessly for what he believes in. His emotional scenes feel authentic, and his chemistry with the older female lead gives the film its signature sweetness.

The story is simple yet powerful. It celebrates companionship, mature affection, and the idea that love does not follow age boundaries. The movie also explores family loyalty, misunderstanding, and the painful reality many older women face when their happiness clashes with societal expectations.

“Old and Sweet” is a nostalgic reminder of Nollywood’s classic storytelling—slow, emotional, and filled with heart. The soundtrack, soft humor, and village-style warmth make it the kind of film you can curl up with on a quiet evening.

Verdict:

A touching love story carried beautifully by Nosa Rex’s natural acting and heartfelt delivery.
