Robin Turner One problem with Turkish comedy is that it tends to be very specific to Turkey: if you aren't Turkish (or living in Turkey), you won't understand a sit-com like Türk Malı or Avrupa Yakası, and you'll even miss a lot of the jokes in a SF comedy like G.O.R.A. Organize İşler (confusingly untranslated as "Magic Carpet Ride" after one of the songs in the soundtrack) is unusual in that it manages to be very Turkish in feel, but universal in its humour.The film shows us the lives of two families: a middle-class intellectual couple and their daughter on the one side, and the "family" of organized crime on the other. In between is a failed stand-up comedian, "Superman" Samet, whose attempt to hang himself (dressed in his Superman costume) at the beginning of the film is interrupted by our criminal anti-hero Asim, who is escaping a jealous husband. The plot continues in a similarly absurd vein, and critics have complained about the story's disregard for logic, but then this is a comedy; nobody complains that Monty Python and the Holy Grail has an absurd plot. The important thing is that the characters are well drawn, from the irritatingly logical physics professor Nuran to the lovable but unprincipled and incompetent Asim, and the dialogue is hilarious, with a lot of the humour surviving translation. The film also gives a great picture of the contrasts of İstanbul (even though the scenes of the "çingene" neighborhood where the gang live seem to be from İzmir).

yilmaz gundogdu Take it from a Turkish guy: Do not watch this movie. First it lacks originality. Many things including the jokes, the music, the use of the camera are an imitation of the movie "Im Juli". The plot is primitive, lacks genuinity, the conversations are like taken from a primary school play. The funniest part is that The director-writer-producer Yilmaz Erdogan has chosen to steal from an acclaimed Turkish director who has international movie awards(Faith Akin. Did he really think nobody would notice? The problem is that this guy, Yilmaz Erdogan, thinks he can do everything great. He is a self-acclaimed actor-poet-stand up comedian-playwright-writer-producer:"A legend in his own mind!". Catch this:He started learning English last year claiming he will write English plays. Anyways enough about him. The excessive movement of camera, all those flying shots, over-saturated colors make up a silly end result.

macabreath First of all, Yilmaz Erdogan's last film, "Organize Isler" is worth to watch I must say. It is built-on a cliché scenario but actors/actresses well played and especially Cem Yilmaz's performance was great.I must mention that scenes of Istanbul were great. Film takes places in the narrow streets of Istanbul and reflects its colorful harmony perfectly. If you are admirer of this city like me, I'm sure you'll fall in love with the flying camera technique.Soundtracks are OK, could be more unique. Outro was performed by Nil Karaibrahimgil and according to my tastes, it is OK too.Last word: Do not forget to watch this beautiful city-crime-comedy film.

tolgaozbalci a flying cam is not enough to make a movie. The movie is funny. The story isn't that much great but characters are. On each book, movie and play Erdogan reflects his megalomania. There are some technical problems on images(when flying-cam moves very fast the image blurred)The sound was good.Soundtracks are cool. Colors are so good. Erdogan will make better movies I believe. But he should remember that there is no obligation to use flying cam on each scene. He can write the story and direct the movie, but let the other people play. I found some critics about the movie poster,people say it has same style with the "fight club" poster.Next Erdogan movie will be much better.
