Seriously; I felt insulted. I have not seen anything so disrespectful as this piece of crap in my whole life.
Sahan Gokbakar, the leading actor and the scriptwriter, is a famous comedian in Turkey; but his suspicious fame is not enough to save this work in the eye of the audience.. OK, to be honest, there are two or three laughable moments all over; but as a whole, this 90 minutes of horse crap leaves a very sour taste in your mind.
No story at all; full of stupid jokes and a messy collection of events without any reasonable connection whatsoever.. This -so called- "movie" is the worst "thing" I have ever seen so far in a movie theater... I am now seriously considering to sue this nonsense... Innocent people should be warned somehow. I believe that this comment (actually, warning!) is my responsibility to the people as a responsible citizen!
Bottomline: Keep away at all costs... Seriously!

This, right here, is the definitive Recep Ivedik movie. This movie perfectly encapsulates Recep as a character and how he responds to the world around him.
First of all, we need to understand what this franchise is all about. The "Recep Ivedik" series is about contrast. How a man responds to a world that rejects him. How a man tries to break into a world that does not accept him. Recep refuses to conform to the norms around him. He persists to be himself. He refuses to be a fake version of himself to fit the world around him. This, in return, obviously makes him an outcast. He is seen as a mere animal by the snobs around him (and this includes most of the reviewers here).
To the basic viewer, this movie is nothing more than just a movie about toilet humour. To the unthinking eye, this movie is merely poop jokes and whatnot. It takes a viewer to watch carefully and pay attention to the themes to understand what is really going on behind the scenes.
Recep is a complex character. His physical appearance is a very important part of his image as a character. He resembles the stereotypical animalistic Turkish man. This is what the movie wants you to initally think of him; nothing more than a hog to laugh at. But as the movie goes on Recep shows he is a lot more than that. He is highly knowledged in popular culture and seems to be a lot more aware of the world around him than one might realise. We see more of his emotions throughout out the film, although they are explored best in the third movie.
Some of the humour might be cheap, but unlike a lot of comedy movies this is one that will be cemented in your mind, atleast for me that was the case. This was definetly an experience for me, a core memory.
Lastly, this movie will just not be as funny if you're not Turkish as you will not be able to understand the characters and the setting.

This movie was supposed to be a sequel to highly popular Recep İvedik, but these movies are different in many ways.
In the first movie, there was a storyline and jokes were not based on swearing. Yes, there were some scenes which were disgusting at times, but the movie as a whole wasn't so bad.
In the "supposedly" sequel however, nearly all jokes are based on swearing and the movie has no storyline. There are some changes in Recep İvedik character as well. He is now much more aggressive, swearing and can speak English:) Grandmother role in the movie is a total disaster. This role includes nothing more than swearing and player's acting is very amateur and disturbing. In fact, this observation is valid for all supporting characters in the movie except the "bonus" boy.
After the release of the first movie, there were some exaggerated criticisms about the movie being very "low level". I didn't agree with these thoughts then, but now it seems that with Recep İvedik 2,Şahan Gökbakar wants to show the critics what is called a "low level" movie.
I also want to say some things about the directing. In the first movie, directing was obviously bad but Recep İvedik character saved the day. In this sequel, we "surprisingly" see that the director has shown no improvement since the first movie and even got worse. This is not good news for his career, I think it would be good for him to try his chances in other fields before it is too late.
If you can handle the swearing without a story and have excess money, you can watch this movie on cinema, otherwise it is a C-grade movie which at most deserves being watched on video.

Recep Ivedik is one of the best characters created by Turkish television and cinema lately. He represents a typical opportunist, selfish, arrogant, insensitive, annoying urban character. In an ordinary day in Istanbul you see such characters in the form of a lady driving a jeep while using her cell phone and violating traffic rules and putting others in danger, in the form of a manager humiliating his/her subordinates or a shopper shouting at a cashier.
When I first saw this character I thought we finally found our Homer Simpson. With clever marketing, good jokes, good scripts you can use this every day character for years with a very high popularity. However once again greed killed the goose laying golden eggs.
Unfortunately this movie has been absolutely a disappointment with a very bad script, nasty jokes, irritating awful grandma character, poor story telling, poor directing, poor cinematography and waste of time. Clearly harmful for children of all ages. Trailers are much better than the movie itself. Not recommended at all.
