As a Turkish viewer who enjoyed most of Mahsun's movies, I must admit that this one fell short of my expectations. Basically intended to be a satirical comedy, this movie is actually lacking both character development and relevancy to the genre. As Turkish audience, we have seen good examples of satirical comedy reflecting the Ottoman Period such as Sener Sen's Degirmen. But unfortunately the quality there is incomparable to this one. Besides I have seen some reviews here claiming that those who rate this movie low are doing it because Mahsun is opposed to the government and values in Turkey. I am sorry to see such comments because they show how polarized a society we are. For me, I consider myself to be one of those who call an ass an ass and don't care anyone's opposition to anything.

I went to see this movie in the Netherlands with my Turkish friends. In the past I saw some pretty good Turkish movies, so I went to see this movie with let's say a positive prejudice. But this movie turned out a complete failure. I couldn't sit through the whole movie, so I left early. It was god awful. A child wouldn't write this screenplay, that bad. Probably one of the worst movies I ever saw, if not the worst movie. Complete waste of precious time and money, I wouldn't recommend anyone.

The reason i am writing this review is for those who actually liked Mahsun's previous movies and expect the same quality from this one, however i regret to tell you that you will be upset. I also find that failing with such budget and cast in Turkish movie industry should be really hard yet i consider this movie as a big fail.The humor is so cheap and coarse which makes the movie boring. I see many people are also judging the movie politically which is unfair however you don't need to give this movie a low rating because of your political view but because the movie quality is what it is.

This movie is not as good as Kirmizigul's previous movies because he tried his writing and directing skills in comedy. He tried something different. It's natural i think. This movie does not deserve that point. In Turkey so many viewers gave it low points because of the government party's voters. They blemished him and his project. They are thinking about Kirmizigul joking to Muslims and Muslim's symbols. They are thinking about he is member of a terrorist group in Turkey(They do not have any clues about this). This is a false charge. Without watching movie, they are just blemishing him.What a shame for Turkish people. I had given it 7 first, but for support i gave 8 for this project.

Don't look at the bad reviews, it was a nice movie. The bad reviews are people who do not know the culture and the language who went to watch the movie, and they didn't understand the jokes and the rumor and gave it a one star because they didn't understand a thing. And the Turkish people who gave it a one star does not support the producer of the writer of this movie, Mahsun Kirmizigul. Some reviews say that even a child wouldn't write the screenplay, the guy doesn't know what he is talking about they cannot even write a sentence of a small scene. So it is easy to talk and blame to movie in many ways, but at the end it was a great movie. All the actors were most famous actors in Turkey. The movie was flowing very nice, in fact I bought more than one ticket to support Mahsun. I loved the story and the way actors played each of their role. It was a different perspective. Don't watch the movie with prejudgment. GO WATCH IT, RECOMMENDED!
