Completely meaningless. Something that Cem Yılmaz had never, and should never had been done. As far and away the best comedian, one of the best directors and a talented actor of Turkey, he's always been a part of quality works. In his stand-up comedy shows, or movies, or commercials, or any little episode of a TV show that he's guest starred, there's always been a respect to audience, which i really couldn't find in this movie. Neither a trace of intelligence, nor a little creativity. Cliché jokes similar to 80s' cheap Hollywood comedies, a terrible scenario written with the intention of "parodizing" the last decade's few blockbusters (Hunger Games, Lost, Walking Dead etc.), and disturbing level of product placement ads throughout the film made it a total failure. I've waited for two hours for a little "breeze" of his former masterpieces like Gora, Yahşi Batı or Her Şey Çok GÜzel Olacak, but just left the theater with a feel of great disappointment.

There is another guy called Şahan Gökbakar, who represents the bottom line in Turkish comedies. This movie is just a step beyond of Şahan's works, but nothing more.

I believe that Cem Yılmaz haven't even watched the entirely edited movie before its first audition. Otherwise, he would never allow this movie to be shown in any theater, just like the Kubrick's Fear and Desire.

I really miss the brilliant Cem Yılmaz who "parodized" Kubrick with great respect in his movies. (Monolith sequence in AROG) Hope is next movie will be in the same lane with his former works.
