A fast and furious follow-up that bring the iconic comedy buffoon back to the big screen...
Popular Turkish comedy writer and performer Şahan Gökbakar ("Dikkat Şahan Çıkabilir") reunites with his younger brother Togan Gökbakar ("Gen") for this fast and furious follow-up to their 2008 Turkish box office number one hit comedy "Recep İvedik" featuring his titular comedy character which manages to outperform its illustrious predecessor.
Fat, aggressive, unibrowed slob Recep İvedik (Şahan Gökbakar) has more than met his match in the form of his profanity spewing grandmother (Gülsen Özbakan) who sets him the tasks to find a job, gain respect and get married before she dies, which he achieves with a little help from cousin Hakan (Efe Babacan) and loyal sidekick Ali Kerem (Çagri Büyüksayar).
Şahan Gökbakar returns on top form as the inspired burlesque exaggeration of the modern Turkish peasantry at large in the city while superb support comes from Gülsen Özbakan who steals every scene as well as Efe Babacan and Çagri Büyüksayar who are not so easy targets as the westernised "White Turks" of the first film.
The film-makers free the character from the misguided romantic endeavour that so marred the first film to give the comedy creation free range in a series of short burlesque comedy routines more fitting to the likes of Mr. Bean or Borat that are tied together by the loosest of quest story-lines to create a far more satisfying film, albeit one still too crude and obvious for refined tastes.
"I am aggressive, I have complexes, but I am timid as a kitten when by myself. "

The worst film I have seen so far!
I have never seen such a disgusting film. There are comedies to make people laugh showing stupid scenes, but this one is impossible to be regarded as a comedy. There are many scenes to make you feel sick. Sahan Gokbakar, the director and the lead character, despises the audience, making fun of ordinary people in his film. The main character, Recep Ivedik, is a stupid one with a disgusting appearance and foolish manners. What is surprising that people laugh at these silly scenes. Having watched Recep Ivedik 1, cinema goers thought that this one was better, but most of them were disappointed except for the ones who suppose that it is funny to be ignorant and rude. After watching the film, the only consolation is to see that Sahan Gokbakar has used up all his material to claim that he is a good comedian or a good film maker. I hope Recep Ivedik 2 is the last one to deceive the audience.
A disgrace..
Seriously; I felt insulted. I have not seen anything so disrespectful as this piece of crap in my whole life.
Sahan Gokbakar, the leading actor and the scriptwriter, is a famous comedian in Turkey; but his suspicious fame is not enough to save this work in the eye of the audience.. OK, to be honest, there are two or three laughable moments all over; but as a whole, this 90 minutes of horse crap leaves a very sour taste in your mind.
No story at all; full of stupid jokes and a messy collection of events without any reasonable connection whatsoever.. This -so called- "movie" is the worst "thing" I have ever seen so far in a movie theater... I am now seriously considering to sue this nonsense... Innocent people should be warned somehow. I believe that this comment (actually, warning!) is my responsibility to the people as a responsible citizen!
Bottomline: Keep away at all costs... Seriously!

Excellent character ruined by a very bad script
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.
