Ali Baba ve 7 Cüceler

I watched the movie today. As a Cem Yilmaz fan, I can easily say that this movie was the worst Cem Yilmaz movie ever. Playing two different character as a Cem Yılmaz is always a good idea. It was the only good thing for this movie. Cem Yilmaz is very clever and creative person. So, we were expecting more creative and funny movie but it was so boring. Some people leaved the theater before the end. I believe that Cem Yilmaz's next movie will be better than Ali Baba ve 7 Cüceler. In summary, I cannot say "you should watch this movie in theater". If you have time and you are a Cem Yilmaz fan like me, you can watch it in theater. Otherwise you may watch it from DVD or something else.

Cem Yilmaz has a great reputation in Turkey. But seems he forgets that great reputation creates great expectations. I think this is the biggest problem Yilmaz faces now.

I have seen Ali Baba and the Seven Dwarfs and I can say that it didn't surprised me at all. I do not mean that its a typical "full of fun" CY movie, unfortunately the opposite way round.

First of all, the story itself is so poor, nothing interesting with screenplay. Its like CY had some jokes in his mind and created a story only to put those jokes in it.

Another problem with characters. I did not understand what some characters really do in the movie, why do they exist, what would be the lose if those characters do not exist etc etc.

Looks like CY found a formula for his movies somethings like:

Find some jokes + Create a simple script (No need to be smart but should contain everything your audiences expect) + Choose correct actors & actresses (The ones who already tested and liked by fans) + Put CY name on it = Collect your money

Simple but unfortunately there are some elements are missing in the formula. Such as, story, creating a character, plot, intelligence of viewers (The worst thing about this movie is that CY does not care about his fan's intelligence. He thinks that everybody is ready to eat whatever CY cooks. Of course, its so wrong.)

CY makes films one after another. Don't know if because he has many things to tell or want to earn as much as possible or ... just don't know. What I know is that CY may go really down if keeps following the same strategy. This would be a shame for a genius, so I hope he wakes up to himself immediately.

As a last word about the movie, its just a simple comedy. If I knew that before then Id not pay for it but wait until its on TV.

Hello everybody! As a Turkish movie watcher and an occasional IMDb.com reviewer, I feel obligated to write my review for this one. First of all, Cem Yilmaz is a well-known stand-up comedian in Turkey. He is the director and the leading actor in this film. As the screening began only a few days ago, I am least affected by commentaries. Well, the beginning of the movie was awesome, the jokes come one after another. I think Cem Yilmaz has clearly resolved what Turkish people want to see in jokes, various situations created by illiterate people or upstarts and their conversations being garnished with a bunch of f-words. With notoriously increasing censorship in Turkey, his movies will always be among top- rated ones in Turkey. When this movie is screened on TV someday, in my opinion 90 percent of jokes will be censored and we will be watching something different. Therefore, well done Cem for reminding us of our sense of humor and for not being overwhelmed with self-censorship like most comedians. As for criticism, I found the second-half of the movie and the ending a bit too long. The story development could have been better. The old hand, Zafer Algöz, is introduced too late in the movie. The religious-looking guy could have been much better. Last but not least, Irina Ivkina is gorgeous. Thanks Cem for introducing us such a beauty. In my opinion, she is more beautiful than Bond girls. All in all, I believe that this movie will be among the best in comedy genre this year in Turkey.

If it's a movie by Cem Yilmaz, I'll watch it. Even if it's not good.

This movie is not good.

To me Cem Yılmaz is the funniest person in Turkey by far! But the film i watched yesterday was not funny that much. Maybe this was because of my high expectation level, maybe it was really not good enough. Although Cem Yılmaz always has positive credits from my perspective, i can easily say that this was his worst film. I know that he has the talent to do much better movies. Because he has a brilliant sense of humour.Although he has great ideas, i can not say the same thing about his direction performance. I think he ought to work with better professionals to convert his great ideas to great movies. Because, compare to his stand- up shows, his movies are really sucks. As a Cmylmz lover i expect better movies from him.

p.s: The Russian girl was really beautiful but her performance was one of the worst performance i have seen recently!
