Sadly Over-hyped

Great Film overall

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I watched this movie last year on TV with a lot of beeps and then decided to see the uncensored version. I absolutely fell in love with it. First, you have to be Turkish or very familiar to Turkish culture in order to understand the jokes, behaviors and all those small funny speeches. For me, the star of the movie is Aydemir Akbas who is an old hand from 1970s with a very natural-looking and improvised acting. He was more than 70 years old when the movie was shot but played the most colorful and lively character of the movie and the director cleverly uses him (unlike the follow-up movie "Kolpaçino:Bomba" which is rubbish). The way he swears like a young man and the way he runs after girls during all the time is very amusing. On the other hand, the script is very cleverly written and the development of events and characters are successful unlike many Turkish movies. The mafia men are well chosen and they all demonstrate a good performance. All in all, I strongly recommend it if you got bored of work and need a smile on your face.

As being a harsh critic on Turkish movies (especially comedies) I would love to say that Kolpacino is not a bad movie at all. Well, it is not an Oscar Winner either. The important thing is it is good enough to glue you to the screen until the finish and makes you lough. And the end. I guess most funny part is the ending. (Watch and see).This is a movie for those who like light weight-time passing- Turkish comedy with lots of foul language. You need to be familiar with Turkish culture and slang to understand the jokes as most of the humor depends on street slang. I find the acting okay. The plus point is the performance of old comedian Aytkin Akbas who was the king of Turkish Porn Movies back in 70's.If you look for artistic depth or an Oscar performance, this film is not for you. When you are in a bad mood and need some smile give this a try.

I think this movie was pretty funny to watch or to spend time and laugh. Please don't be unfair to the director or the scriptwriter of the movie just because you don't like Safak Sezer (who by the way performed an average acting, I agree, but come on he is not playing Hamlet or Othello. The guy is just doing his job which is playing what is written for him). When it comes to the script I don't think it was lame. In fact I found it pretty amusing to watch. It was kinda catchy until the end. If you are looking for fun, spend some time, and laugh than I advise you to watch the movie. But if this not the case for you than please watch something else.

I didn't expect much, my friends told me it was sort of funny, I hired the DVD but it's unbelievably bad.No script, no story-line, no character development, no logical stream of events, no direction no action, no script, no scriptwriters... I'm aware its a comedy even an absurd comedy, but that doesn't mean the movie should be rubbish.I am usually not very harsh on comedy movies since their aim is to make people laugh and if they can manage that, I don't criticize the technical aspects so much. But, that doesn't mean Safak Sezer should keep producing these pointless, mindless, good for nothing movies. If you have the slightest respect to yourself and cinema, don't even think about watching this movie. Even the cheapest movie requires some plot and this is where this movie fails. Comedy is a very serious business and Safak Sezer is certainly doing it for money, not for art. Thinking about the old Turkish comedy movies and the recent garbage, I feel like cheated. They ruined the whole prestige of movie industry.
