Kiss and Tell is a 2011 Nigerian romantic comedy film, produced by Emem Isong and directed by Desmond Elliot. It stars Monalisa Chinda, Joseph Benjamin, Desmond Elliot, Nse Ikpe Etim, Uche Jombo and Bhaira Mcwizu.[1] Though the film was a commercial success,[2] it was met with mixed to negative reception.[3][4]
Two friends and business partners, Iyke and Bernard, who are Casanovas, encounter Delphine, a divorce lawyer and a divorcee who has sworn off men. Bernard strikes a bet with Iyke, which involves Iyke having sex with Delphine in ten days or forfeit five percent of his shares to Bernard; if Iyke succeeds, he'd have five percent of Bernard's shares. However, Bernard tells Tena, Delphine's best friend, about the bet in order to have an edge, thereby complicating things for Iyke.
