Recep Ivedik

This movie consists of a bunch of fart jokes, has no real comedy value or real acting. Sahan Gokbakar is somewhat a good comedian on TV, but as Recep Ivedik; he offers nothing to his audience. Anyone would get the same reaction he did, if they wore the same clothes and make up and said the same stuff. He does not bring anything to the role. There is no acting. There's basically a man; who is rude, filthy, smelly, horny and stupid. There's no depth to the character at all. And that man is supposed to be funny because he has huge eyebrows and a very hairy back? There is no plot either. The movie just jumps from scene to scene. From joke to joke. And the movie ends really abruptly. I can recommend this movie for people who has IQ below 70.

I think my understanding of comedy has changed as time has passed. Farting didn't seem funny to me anymore, when I first watched it I was a kid, a teenager and the first movie was funny to me. I watched other movies too -_- What did I do?? The Movie is very, very bad.

First off, there's one point that I'd like to make is that what did you the watchers expect from this film ?? You expected a top comedy ? You honestly thought that this would be the funniest Turkish comedy ever ? If you go to see this flick with huge hopes and have huge expectations, then this film might disappoint you hugely. If you expect the best Turkish comedy, your hopes might get shattered. Keep this in mind when going to see this film.

As we know the funny character from previous TV shows, the pranks and the funny dialogs were predictable. Nothing new of course what we see! Hence I don't understand why the viewers moan about this comedy!! They should have known better if you ask me. However, I can say that if you like the comedy character Recep Ivedik you will like this film as well. Worth seeing, really it is, honest I think so. This film's served its purpose in my opinion. Some of the scenes are hilarious, I laughed really hard at some gags, couldn't stop laughing at some absurd dialogs,too. It's not that you nearly die of laughter or laugh out loud all the way through out. But this comedy film has a lot of giggle moments. OK, even though it's got not a clever story-line, and the plot might be dull but like most comedies I was entertained but not to the point of laughing out loud , but it was still entertaining for me. Unfortunately, towards the end, everything is done badly, like in Turkish comedies nowadays!

Sahan Gokbakar (Recep Ivedik) is superb in the film. To tell the truth I was glad that the character Recep Ivedik played the role as we know him from his TV shows. Nothing new was added to the role which I found cool. Other than that, the bellboy Komi and the lorry driver are really annoying, but Sahan Gokbakar (Recep Ivedik) and Tulug Cizgen (Sibel's mother) save the film.

To sum up, I can say that that Sahan Gokbakar fans would like this, however as with most comedy films which stem from an hour TV show, you do get a lot of problems, you can tell that it has been overstretched and gags that look good on TV don't always have the same effect on the big screen. As above-mentioned, it's not the best Turkish comedy flick in the world but then again it really doesn't deserve all the bad comments. It might not be great for some viewers but to say that this film was really p*** poor, and try to trash this funny film is not fair. I don't think much of the critics anyway but give this film a chance.

İ really gave the film 3 stars.Not because it deserved it but people took some time for it. I failed to understand people pay a good deal of money to watch this thing on a theater.There are free shows in some animal channels focusing on furry animals, acting the same mating behaviors. Well, the film may be funny because of its irrational anti hero but that popularşty, that idol.Come on, the guy is on the commercials now.I guess there is a mass delusion around.Is this what reflects us? I can say that just because of our own mentality, we will never reach up to some certain points.This field is one of them. And there are many fans of that furry animal i know.I feel pity for those who pay to this film while having a girlfriend next to them.

I really enjoyed this film. I had some doubts (prejudice rather) about it previously, due to a lot of people around me despising it. Therefore I haven't seen it until I saw bits of the sequel, and realised that I've really missed out on a remarkably funny movie. Yes it has elements of toilet humour, balls humour etc... But it's a comedy and it's bloody funny! The fact that some people of more "ordinary" taste in cinema might enjoy it too does not make it a lousy movie. Obviously it's not up there with the best of its genre, but it does what it says on the tin. Sahan Gokbakar has created a rather primitive character that is all but too familiar to Turkish audiences, thanks to similar movies and -what the heck- the man on the street! But the character also has a genuinely funny (not talking about the toilet humour) and sometimes surprisingly intelligent side to him.

I have a good taste in movies, but I'm not ashamed to say that I really enjoyed the 100-minutes I spent watching Recep Ivedik. I must say though, that it primarily appeals to a Turkish audience who would be familiar with the context. It may be perceived as a low-budget Borat copy by others.
