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.

I agree with comments that this movie is not a real "movie". But its aim is not creating something that has an artistic value, but it is to make people laugh. When I watched it, the whole people in the movie theater were laughing continuously. Since this is a comedy film, and it can make people laugh, the rest is not so important. It is definitely better than the first one, there are more characters and more places, and the script is better except for the first half an hour. The grandmother's talks and Recep's speech to the crowd nearly in the end of the movie were the funniest, I think. If you want to "just" laugh, then don't hesitate to see it. But the jokes are for only Turkish people to understand.
I have never seen such a disgusting film. There are comedies to make people laugh showing stupid scenes, but this one is impossible to be regarded as a comedy. There are many scenes to make you feel sick. Sahan Gokbakar, the director and the lead character, despises the audience, making fun of ordinary people in his film. The main character, Recep Ivedik, is a stupid one with a disgusting appearance and foolish manners. What is surprising that people laugh at these silly scenes. Having watched Recep Ivedik 1, cinema goers thought that this one was better, but most of them were disappointed except for the ones who suppose that it is funny to be ignorant and rude. After watching the film, the only consolation is to see that Sahan Gokbakar has used up all his material to claim that he is a good comedian or a good film maker. I hope Recep Ivedik 2 is the last one to deceive the audience.

I totally disagree with the "The worst film I have seen so far".
Sahan only made this movie because his "Recep Ivedik" sketch on "Dikkat Sahan Cikabilir" was much loved and viewed by millions on Youtube and other websites. He could have easily made a film about any other character he played in his show. His story seems very similar to Ali G's in that respect. Ali G only made Borat because it was the best loved character in "The Ali G Show".
Let's get one thing straight, most people watched Recep Ivedik 1 & 2 because they already had seen the sketch on TV and liked it, thus they knew exactly what to expect from the movie, just like I did.
Most the people who did not enjoy the movie probably never watched his sketch on TV beforehand, thus the disappointment.
I can agree that the movie is not a straight forward comedy movie and different to anything I have seen before but it still entertaining.
The movie may have a stupid story line or no story line as some say but it cleverly delivers a message. The movie isn't just plain stupid like Ali G, in fact there are so many scenes in this movie that show Recep is opposite of stupid.
Recep is very rude and sometimes disgusting in the movie but I found this funny, again not everyone will.
I think people who did not enjoy the movie missed on of the main points in the movie, "The Message"
Along side being "ignorant, rude and disgusting" he was educating people.
Examples such as:
"Ekinler bas vermeden kor buzagi topalmazmis" is a very nice message and makes sense.
He is not just a "Kiro" as we hear him talk about many things most people watching the movie don't even know about, things like Photoshop.
He looks after his Grandmother (In Turkey old people are never looked after and often put in old peoples homes instead) and also send the message across that "we should do anything it takes" to earn a living in this current situation.
He is very open with people and speaks his mind. When he meets "Yakuza" at the Chinese restaurant he openly tells her what he thinks, some may think he is horrible but I think he is doing the right thing.
To round it up I believe the movie was excellent, although some of the jokes were over the top he redeemed himself with the good message he was putting across.
People need to realise now that Comedy is not what it use to be, there are different types of comedy and everything has changed, Turkish comedy movies are what they are right now, lots of swearing. The Kemal Sunal days are over and now we have a new era.
