Sinekatalog’s take

A village landlord's plan to marry off his father collapses on the wedding night and sets off a chain of troubles. This beloved Turkish comedy uses broad humor and affectionate village types, and remains a rewatchable favorite.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
