Featured reviews
This film is a wonderful and refreshing comedy. It portrays the typical funny, low class, and stupid in an over-exaggerated way person in Turkey that fits the stereotype of the eastern European low class person as well. Undoubtedly, you will have a much greater laugh if you are a native speaker since Recep Ivedik's use of language is so brutal and simple, not in a too vulgar way which is the thing that makes you laugh the most throughout the comedy scenes. His personality and arrogance are portrayed very well as well and you successfully get the idea of what type of person Recep is. I didn't get bored at any point of the movie and found myself laughing out loud on several occasions which usually happens rarely. Would not recommend to American audience though.
Recep Ivedik is an example of cinematic parasitism. It is a product created solely to profit from as many people as possible by providing as little content as possible.
Outliving the sympathy generated by its humble beginnings, the series has become stale, endlessly recycling the same subject matter of a (once) lovable crude protagonist against the elite intelligentsia of the country. A mixture of slapstick and juvenile scat humor, it accomplishes nothing in the realm of comedy.
A crude, cheaply filmed waste of time which is a shame considering the brave and creative strides Turkish filmmaking has taken in recent years.
Technically embarrassing, this is one of those rare films which actually take an entire cinema industry backwards in progress. 2/10

I love Recep Ivedik movies from 1 to the 5th one , it is hilariously funny :) this character is real and it exist in every country :)
The RECEP İVEDİK franchise is inevitably going to attract a variety of opinions. It is not "great" art but an attempt to create films that are essentially plot less, full of lewd jokes and sexist humor, guaranteed to appeal to mass audiences.
Yet the basic tone of the franchise is no better and no worse than the CARRY ON series, that ran to 25+ films from the late 1950s right through to 1992. There is the same combination of familiar characters, contrived situation and scatological jokes, even though they are slightly ruder in the Turkish franchise, covering all bodily functions one could possibly imagine.
For what it is worth, the "plot" has our hero (Şahan Gökbakar) joining a television quiz program that has him transported to a desert island. Inevitably he comes out first, triumphing over a galaxy of fellow-contestants much prettier and more attractive than he. The only weapon he possesses is that of talk; for the most part he grinds people down through sheer weight of words.
The cinematic style is rudimentary: director Toğan Gökbakar constructs the action in a series of shot/ reverse shot sequences and close-ups designed to show the star off to best effect. Gökbakar takes full advantage of his opportunities; one has to admire his verbal virtuosity, particularly when insulting those who cross his path.
RECEP İVEDİK 4 should be taken on its own terms for what it is; a star vehicle intended purely to make viewers laugh. On such modest terms, it excels in its task.
