    Best Comedy

    Many talks about G.O.R.A. as the funniest Turkish movie however, as plot vise, shootings and dialogs "pardon" beats all.

    First of all, the director is superb. He had put a lot in the movie, many so-called directors has a lot to learn from Mert Baykal. The script belongs the lead actor Ferhan Sensoy, who is one of the most intellectuals of Turkey. His plots and comedy is unmatched.

    I suggest this movie to anyone Turkish and non-Turkish people to see how a country's legal system can be corrupted.

    The story is one of the true stories of Turkey about its legal system faults. The acting and directing is superb. I have watched it three times in the same week and laughed each time.

    Great Movie, a Must see for Turkish viewers

    the film has a excellent story line, it shows the Turkish penal system with all its truths and it shows how every penal system can fail, realism with comedy (and a bit of drama & love) makes a great movie.

    The Movie is about one guys life,Ibrahim, and what he goes through in what you would call unfortunate events.

    His full with love for a girl in the neighbourhood but has a lot of hate for his brother in law.

    The film is mostly funny but has a touch of drama.

    It has a simple film to the film, the directing seems simple but it comes across as a great film,budget but great.

    A very simple review

    Movie begins with interrogation, where is tragedy part set up with fast tempo.

    Story line is excellent due to the film adapted from Ferhan Sensoy's old play "Cok Tuhaf Sorusturma"

    I don't impressed from Rasim Oztekin's acting. But i want to say Ali Catalbas rised with his natural acting.

    It's an ironic story

    It's a great movie. I really enjoyed it. Sometimes made me laugh loudly.

    The movie is about a person who afraid of uniform and doesn't like to be called "LAN". He is a late age soldier in Turkish Army and before deployment he just wanted to see his loved one in Istanbul.

    In the terminal, police fallows him then puts him and his friend under custody. Police officer make them sign a crime confession and story starts.

    It's been almost seven years and they are still in the jail as innocent as everybody.

    True story explained in an amazingly funny way

    An ordinary man who did not have a very lucky life takes a vacation during his very late military duty. However he suddenly finds himself in the jail while he is trying to return home. This is how the story begins.

    Serious problems of Turkish current juridical and penal system could only be explained in such a funny and entertaining way. It has the potential to make you laugh no matter how many times you watch it.

    Very good soundtracks are also definitely worth mentioning.

    A Turkish comedy masterpiece from a theater master inspired by a real event.

    Strongly recommended.
