A quirky Turkish comedy. Most well-regarded Turkish films aren't my cup of tea, this was a welcome exception. The goofy characters, their silly plans, and the lighthearted take on what is a rather dark subject are fun and entertaining. It's not best in genre, but it easily passes the time.
The performances are good, Engin Günaydin is lovely as the dimwitted husband who excels at messing up his life. The presentation is okay, the pacing is pleasant and the film's dark streak is worth a couple of chuckles. It's nice to see Turkish cinema has more to offer than dreary arthouse and local comedies.
