Recep Ivedik

Popular Turkish comedy writer and performer Şahan Gökbakar ("Dikkat sahan cikabilir") recruits his younger brother Togan Gökbakar ("Gen") to direct the big screen début of his titular comedy character in this crude farce that was the year's box office number one in Turkey and has spawned two equally successful sequels.

Recep İvedik (Şahan Gökbakar) is a fat, aggressive, unibrowed slob who is put up in a classy Antalya hotel as reward for returning the owners lost wallet and proceeds to reek havoc with his uncouth ways as he tries to win over his childhood sweetheart Sibel (Fatma Toptas) in the set-up to this rather uninspired class-clash comedy.

Şahan Gökbakar creates an inspired burlesque exaggeration of the modern Turkish peasantry at large in the city while superb support comes from the likes of Fatma Toptas. Tulug Cizgen and Hakan Bilgin as the westernised "White Turks" whose mores and manners he violently collides with to give the film its comic edge.

The film-makers quickly eschew any deep social-commentary on the class-clash at the heart of their film in favour of broad farce and crude behaviour that sets the comedy creation among the likes of Mr. Bean or Borat except that here they are driven by a misguided romantic endeavour that requires us to actually empathise with this boorish buffoon.

"Hear me well; I'm aggressive, I have complexes."

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 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.

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.

Best movie ever. People who don't laugh are normie.
