Tosun Pasa

it's a real funny film that will guaranteed to make you laugh. an incredible cast and brilliant performances make this film a master piece for Turkish cinema. it's about a poor (and a bit stupid) man who acts as Tosun Pasa who is a strong, rich and famous commander. lucky for the poor man that the people who he tries to deceive have never seen Tosun Pasa before. from then some romance and lots of comedy is waiting for you to watch and have fun. it's not a wonderful story by all means though, but it doesn't mean that the film isn't good. it's a wonderful film that will make you laugh and feel good. definitely 5 out of 5! and if you like this film (you're gonna like it!), then check out "Sut Kardesler" and the series of "Hababam Sinifi".

Tosun Pasa is the masterpiece of Kemal Sunal's career, and the funniest Turkish film i saw.It is also the funniest film i saw after "Airplane!".In this comeedy classic, Kemal Sunal is the stupid housekeeper of the "Tellioglu" family who turns out to be playing the role of "Tosun Pasha", the most powerful Pasha of Alexandria, to gain ownership of "Green Valley". Sener Sen and Kemal Sunal do magnificent acting in this film which i recommend everyone to see.

One of the funniest Turkish movies Tosun Pasa requires that it must be seen in its original language Turkish... Unfortunately, if a non-Turkish speaker tries to enjoy the movie via subtitles, s/he will probably fail so. Besides, the movie will appear to be absurd. However, for Turkish people, it is a golden classic as can be seen from the ratings. Kemal Sunal and Sener Sen who were the most famous comedians of that time resembles Jack Lemon and Walter Matthau or maybe Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin. They have many other movies acting together where Kemal Sunal plays the dumb but the lucky one and Sener Sen plays the person frustrated by the acts of the other and unlucky one. "Hababam Sinifi" is another wonderful movie of this couple...

It is hard to explain my feelings about that movie. However, it is easy to say that it is the best comedy made in Turkey, with no doubt. Kemal Sunal ans Sener Sen, who are the best two actors of Turkey, was reached the highest point of their acting career by this movie. The strange part of the movie is that you can easily find new funny pieces even though you saw it hundred times already. Another is that my father me and probably my son find something to love this movie. This is a movie that anyone from different ages, different social statue, etc. can love and define it as the best Turkish movie that they have seen. Moreover, in my view, foreign people could laugh on it with a well translation.

This movie is notably one of the praiseworthy Turkish flicks ever filmed. Not only the culminating acting and terrific sense of humor, but harmony among eminent Turkish 'acteurs' are gotta to be seen. Hence, catch it when you recognize.

Kemal Sunal (aka The king of Turkish absurd), Sener Sen, and all others infamous for their fun, have some kind of acting in Kartal Tibet's unforgettable masterpiece.

So-and-so, other Turkish movies like this, include: Davaro (1981), Inek Saban (1978), The Dunce Class on Vacation (1977), Kibar Feyzo (1978), and Hababam sinifi (1975).
