Recep Ivedik

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.

The amount of bad ratings this movie has gotten over these recent years might come from a phonomonea that i call "lost in generation", where a film that used to be revolutionary gets rotten with the growing movie industry, and the company is still making sequels like its their mario, so this movie, from a 2008 perspective is great, but for a modern viewer, this would be weird for them, there has been greater films then this, and i always call this "Turkiye's Shrek", due to how edgy it is (plus the fart jokes), so if you like that sort of comedy, go for it, nobody is stoping you, but it isn't #1.

I really cant believe why these few people write such terrible reviews about this movie.

First of all, you have to be Turkish /familiar with the Turkish culture and values. If you are not known with these then this movie might look like a 'farting and shouting - movie'.

I believe that the Actor and director reflected some Turkish behavior in this movie very good and its just a very funny movie.

I've seen of hundreds of movies including a bunch of Turkish movies but there hasn't been a single movie that made my laugh my *** off as much as this movie.

Just see for yourself en don't stop yourself because of the few bitter people who write reviews who don't have a sense of humor.

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."

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.
