Reviews
editEmine Yıldırım, writing in Today's Zaman, states, "The point of this film is obviously to take the TV show and the theater performance beyond its boundaries and supplement it with a couple of cinematic tricks and conventions", and "It’s all good and dandy, with an assured technical polish and upbeat direction", and also the acting is great and the sketches are wittily written by the BKM collective, which has an exceptionally perceptive taste on contemporary Turkish society with its cultural authenticities, yet one wonders if the film brings anything new to cinema except for increasing its regular viewer base. Despite all its vivacity, he concludes, "[the film] comes out early in the season since its light 'summer' sensibilities don’t exactly mix well with the dreary spring showers", and "It’s exactly the type of film that one would want to throw oneself at while enjoying the luxury of air-conditioned theaters while stuffing one’s face with popcorn. Still, it’s worth a watch to lighten up those spirits if you don’t own a TV at home."[1]
