This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
... View MoreIn truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
... View MoreThis movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

... View MoreThis is probably one of the greatest movies in the pages of Turkish cinema history. Performances, photography, script and locations couldn't be combined better. Nothing looks artificial or theatrical, a must to call a movie "good". Everyday characters living among us in a series of so true adventures. Highlihts of the soundtrack were also written by Mazhar Alanson, one of the two leading actors, who is also the leading vocal of the greatest Turkish band so far, MFO (Mazhar, Fuat, Ozkan)and fit into the mood of the movie perfectly, literally tailor-made.I've liked this movie while i was just 14 and not able to understand what it really tried to tell. Maybe watched it at least 20 times during the last 16 years, and it's still getting more precious for me every time i watch it.Overall, in this age that everything's consumed at light speed and getting artificial day by day, this is a wonderful road movie to take you out of this world for about two hours, although it's not a colorful fantasy or a visual effects-ramped sci-fi, but a modest and natural story.
... View MoreIt's definitely the best Turkish comedy made ever. As there are lots of drama's made in Turkey, it is so nice to see comedy that makes everyone laugh till tears come from eyes. The problem about the movie, is not everyone would be able to understand all jokes. If you are a not a Turk and especially do not know anything about Cem Yilmaz (the actor), then it would even seem silly to you. The Turkey's best comedian ever Cem Yilmaz's one man show. He is just awesome that it is so surprising that Mazhar Alanson has been able to adopt him , and not pressed under the Yilmaz's wonderful performance. Alanson, who is a singer, is also starred in some other films, which were disappointments, performed well enough to made the film best Turkish comedy made ever. Thanks to both actors for shooting such a nice movie. If you wonder about Turkey and see how the middle-class life in Turkey in a funny way you should watch this film. I don't know, if some of the jokes would loose their meanings in English or some other language but I'm sure it would make you laugh even only with Cem Yilmaz's own acting.
... View MoreSo simple, so good. This film is a milestone in Turkish cinema. You will not see the so-called "art film" syndromes or "avant-garde absurdities" in this film. But this doesnt mean that it lacks of depth. No way buddies, this is a pretty good film: entertaining, giving cinema pleasure, and having depth in plot. Cem Yilmaz acts wonderful. Mazhar Alanson of famous band MFO which I am a fan of, is quite good together with Selim Nasit who died shortly after this film. Good plot, good acting, good songs. You'll certainly enjoy it! I give 8 out of 10.
... View MoreThis is the best Turkish movie ever. I advise everybody to watch it if you can find a subtitled version, of course. Perfect dialogues and a perfect scenario. Funny and adventurous. Cast includes the most famous Turkish comedian and one of the most popular Turkish musicians.
