In Turkey everybody knows Cem YILMAZ as a comedian. Yes he is one of the best.
But Cem YILMAZ has proved something us. We understood that his comedian side was only the part seen over the iceberg. Fim by film we see how big he is.
The film is about a ingenuous magician and his assistant's Turkey Tour with a trailer in which his father lives.
Every scene of the movie touches to the emotions. Sometimes you laugh, some time you cry. Maybe the hardest thing in a film is "mixing those emotions in two hours".
What can I say I did not have those feelings since Forrest Gump.
Find it.Watch it.

There is an undeniable resemblance between this story and Cem Yilmaz's first movie Hersey Çok Güzel Olacak. I think Cem Yilmaz should have chosen a completely different story to avoid any competition between the two movies, in which this one will be the obvious loser.
For a genius comedian such as Cem Yilmaz, the story is unexpectedly weak. For most of the scenes the movie seems to rely on the performances of the actors, and it is really a good thing to have a bunch of well qualified actors in the movie. The script has some very beautiful peak points, and i don't know how Cem Yilmaz missed the opportunity to use them to the last draining point.
The movie makes you laugh, if this is what you are looking for in a Cem Yilmaz movie. And it helps you having a fun time, but when the movie ends, you feel like there is something missing in it, and if you think about it, you will see that it is the script as a whole is missing.

This movie is perfectly told and acted with a sense of humor.One of the best Turkish movies in the last 10 years.Better than other C.Yilmaz movies.Screenplay,actors,photography,jokes everything is perfect.You are laughing all the time,its easy to follow,you don't understand how the time goes by.It couldn't be better...
But there is something I don't understand.The audience in Turkey didn't like the movie much.It is even underrated in IMDb.I thought people who know something about movies are voting here but I see they don't.Thats because they are just watching comedy and horror movies which you cant learn much about movies.I am sorry I respect other opinions but this movie is too good.I think they will understand what I mean if they watch some hundred movies...

I went to theater to laugh, since Cem Yilmaz is one of the best comedians of Turkey but this is more a drama. the screenplay is quite impressive. and players are doing their bests. especially Mazhar Alanson and Ozlem Tekin is going great job although they are not professionals(both of them are musicians)
Directing is very good though its the first directing trial of Cem Yilmaz. He got a lot of help from the second director of the movie who is a much more experienced director: Ali Taner Baltaci. Ali Taner Baltaci directed movies Vizontele and Vizontele Tuuba perfectly before. Cem yılmaz was starring in Vizontele.
I could say 7 up to 10. worth to see.

I watched the film in cinema about 3 days ago. It was amazing, i and my friend liked it so much. Because Cem Yilmaz had made a much more different film than everyone expected. There wasn't only comedy, drama was the main genre of the film.
I think everyone must see this film, especially in Turkey.
It was about a conjurer's life. Cast is very good chosen, especially Ozlem Tekin fits her character so much. This movie is her second film, after "O simdi asker". I want to watch her in other films, although she made an explanation about this, that she will act in movies. So this is a happy news for her fans.
