Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
cgyford Turkish TV writer Gani Müjde ("Kahpe Bizans") re-teams with Faith Solmaz and fellow scribe Emre Bülbül for this curious little political satire which quickly loses its way in misjudged rom-com clichés that do much to detract from the admittedly rather mixed message at the heart of the film and indeed the country itself.The film kicks off with the apparent death in childhood of the country's revered republican founder and national hero Kemel Atatürk before jumping forward to the year 2007 where we find that the sick man of Europe in the hands of a buffoonish Sultan who is a mere puppet in the hands of the devilish Western powers until love gives he the strength to say stand up.Turkish comedian Ata Demirer plays the modern day Sultan with world-weary relish but fails to generate chemistry with 2005 Golden Orange award winner Vildan Atasever ("2 Girls") whilst eccentric Hulk Hogan look-alike Sümer Tilmaç heads a largely overlooked supporting cast of Ruhsar Öcal, Ali Düsenkalkar and Müjde's wife Belma Canciger on top form.The seemingly indecisive director has an intriguing "What If…" scenario as a backdrop, which he thoroughly fails to explore as much of the film is given over to a completely unconvincing romance before this too is forgotten in favour of a patriotic fervour which is in turn thrown away for a disappointing dénouement that wipes the few laughs had along the way."You can't join EU with this barbaric behaviour!"
bakgul I heard many things about this move, positive and negative critics. But As a son of Ataturk and also Faith Sultan Mehmet, one can never say this film is a waste of time.It clearly shows what would have had been if Atatürk ( miracle of God for Turk people) was someone ordinary not a legend. Turkish people will be economically and politically enslaved, our paradise would rather be the colonial of the Capitalism..There really are some points that the author(Gani Müjde) could think and write better.. because it brought many responsibility like resembling a unique way of fictitious Turkish History.I want to thank Gani Müjde for drawing attention to this topic, and Ata Demirer who is the one of the greatest artists of Turk cinema(of course from my standpoint) , and Vildan Atasever's mother for giving birth to those beautiful lady.8.5/10
Yalcin Kaya As I was just praising Turkish movies how they have been successful recently and more and more quality movies have been produced I got hit by this ''Osmanli Cumhuriyeti'' disaster. Although movie claims itself as a comedy and drama, it is actually not. There is nothing in this movie, NOTHING. It's not a comedy, it is not a drama, it is certainly not a documentary. Director Gani Mujde should do all of us a favor not to direct any more movies. Just quit directing movies like this and go back to writing that he is great at. Instead of being a horrible movie director just be a great humorist. Another embarrassment is seeing Faith Solmaz as a screen writer in this movie. Such a great humorist became a part of this poor movie.
Burakreis Marangoz This movie is good answer from Gani Mujde to Can Dundar! Congrulations Mr Mujde. Good Job! Anyway. If you're not Turkish you can understand anything about this film. This is funny comedy. This film effected by George Bush's World Ideas. If you're American 99% you don't like it. But If you're nationalist Turkish like me Of course You like it. Anyway This is not just a comedy film. It's politic comedy movie. Congrulations Ata Demirer and Vildan... Nice casting... If you want to learn Turkey without Mr Kemal Ataturk You must watch it ASAP... (As Soon As Possible) Thanks again Gani Mujde and all workers for this film... Also This film casted without big capitalist companies' sponsorship...
