Recep Ivedik is one of the best characters created by Turkish television and cinema lately. He represents a typical opportunist, selfish, arrogant, insensitive, annoying urban character. In an ordinary day in Istanbul you see such characters in the form of a lady driving a jeep while using her cell phone and violating traffic rules and putting others in danger, in the form of a manager humiliating his/her subordinates or a shopper shouting at a cashier.
When I first saw this character I thought we finally found our Homer Simpson. With clever marketing, good jokes, good scripts you can use this every day character for years with a very high popularity. However once again greed killed the goose laying golden eggs.
Unfortunately this movie has been absolutely a disappointment with a very bad script, nasty jokes, irritating awful grandma character, poor story telling, poor directing, poor cinematography and waste of time. Clearly harmful for children of all ages. Trailers are much better than the movie itself. Not recommended at all.
