Recep Ivedik 2

I totally disagree with the "The worst film I have seen so far".

Sahan only made this movie because his "Recep Ivedik" sketch on "Dikkat Sahan Cikabilir" was much loved and viewed by millions on Youtube and other websites. He could have easily made a film about any other character he played in his show. His story seems very similar to Ali G's in that respect. Ali G only made Borat because it was the best loved character in "The Ali G Show".

Let's get one thing straight, most people watched Recep Ivedik 1 & 2 because they already had seen the sketch on TV and liked it, thus they knew exactly what to expect from the movie, just like I did.

Most the people who did not enjoy the movie probably never watched his sketch on TV beforehand, thus the disappointment.

I can agree that the movie is not a straight forward comedy movie and different to anything I have seen before but it still entertaining.

The movie may have a stupid story line or no story line as some say but it cleverly delivers a message. The movie isn't just plain stupid like Ali G, in fact there are so many scenes in this movie that show Recep is opposite of stupid.

Recep is very rude and sometimes disgusting in the movie but I found this funny, again not everyone will.

I think people who did not enjoy the movie missed on of the main points in the movie, "The Message"

Along side being "ignorant, rude and disgusting" he was educating people.

Examples such as:

"Ekinler bas vermeden kor buzagi topalmazmis" is a very nice message and makes sense.

He is not just a "Kiro" as we hear him talk about many things most people watching the movie don't even know about, things like Photoshop.

He looks after his Grandmother (In Turkey old people are never looked after and often put in old peoples homes instead) and also send the message across that "we should do anything it takes" to earn a living in this current situation.

He is very open with people and speaks his mind. When he meets "Yakuza" at the Chinese restaurant he openly tells her what he thinks, some may think he is horrible but I think he is doing the right thing.

To round it up I believe the movie was excellent, although some of the jokes were over the top he redeemed himself with the good message he was putting across.

People need to realise now that Comedy is not what it use to be, there are different types of comedy and everything has changed, Turkish comedy movies are what they are right now, lots of swearing. The Kemal Sunal days are over and now we have a new era.

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.

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!

First of all I love the character "Recep" and I mean it. These film series are heavily misunderstood. People see Recep as a sloppy and pointless character. But he is not. He is one of the best example of anti-heroes; Like Tyler Durden (Fight Club), like Tuco (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly) or like Travis Bickle (Taxi Driver). He is an anarchist, he doesn't want to obey the unwritten rules of the society, he doesn't want to surrender to the conformist way of the everyday life. And he, represents the socially awkward people like us, struggling with our problems.

Acting is perfect in the movie. Every character, every extra used in this movie is acting so natural. You feel like you know them, you feel like they are your friends; with joy, sorrow and many other emotions. You feel like Recep, whatever he does.

I think this movie is more satire than comedy, but the comedy part shines more. The movie plot is against rules of society and the vessel is comedy.

I say buy this movie if you love comedy and satire.

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. "
