First of all, this is not a Ferhan Sensoy movie, he only acts in it.
The popular writer, director and actor of Turkish theaters, delivers some trademark dialogs but "Sans Kapiyi Kirinca" which could be interpreted as "When Luck Breaks Down the Door" to English, is not his work.
The movie is important as a rare opportunity to see Ferhan on the silver screen, because not all has the chance to see him in flesh acting at his own theater.
The story is familiar, it reminded me Ivan Reitmans' "Dave" (Kevin Kline-Sigourney Weaver), and Paul Mazursky's "Moon over Parador" (Richard Dreyfuss).
Yurdum family wins a trip to Barboonia, an unknown (fictional) island in the Caribbean, and things start to get going when the guy in the hotel reception realize that the father of the family Kuddusi, played by Sensoy, looks exactly like Carlos, the president of Barboonia.
President Carlos who is trying to avoid a routine suicide attempt, jumps on the opportunity and makes a plan to use Kuddusi as bate.
Almost entire movie was shot at Cuba which could be an attraction who are fond of the place.
"Sans Kapiyi Kirinca" loses its tempo from time to time and some of the jokes are so used that you can't even smile. But there are enough interesting and funny parts to make the experience amusing.
Not a great piece for Sensoy fans, but he makes it worthy to watch, and if you don't know the master, this could be a decent chance.
