The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

We all laughed with the sperm whale. When the humorous film laughs you, it's partly affecting your work. The ups and downs of the relationship are presented in a delightful showed and are familiar to any Iranian viewer, method, and style of the movie. You go to the past with the movie. Of course, it depends to a certain extent on your age, but a certain emotional affinities can be found with the first role story that dear Reza Attaran has taken. Reza Attaran has always been well versed in performing such roles. The film can be divided into two parts last and today. The past could, to a certain extent, contineus more peristent. In the form of indian movies we see different age groups that represent the history of a person. It's as if the movie merely plans to show the turning points of a person's life, in a humorous way. The humorous of a film stream can somehow affect the technical weaknesses of a movie so that when you laugh, you are unable to focus on understanding the events, it's easy to make mistakes In a movie you may ignore it. Of course, even in big movies, we see unexpected mistakes. This film, with the role of dear Reza Attaran and Mahnaz Afshar, is a humorous, narrative of a childish and continuous relationship, but (in my opinion) unconventional in the last years of separation and ultimately joining. The last stream in the film is much more impressive for the audience than the second half of the film. So, even in my mind, the key question remained: exactly where should you look for a rooted relationship in the past, regardless of quality?

I don't know what to say.I've seen this movie 7 times and still i can't stop laughing.this movie has some aspects that you must be an Iranian to understand .if you have not lived in those years you just won't get it.some part of the movie ,pictures the past when i was a kid (13 years old)and everybody wanted to look like Michael Jackson and all we listened was MJ and Eagles and bee gees.we enjoyed the western movies and music but the suppressing government just wouldn't allow it.having a video player was a felony back in the day.but we lived the fullest and we enjoyed it.nowadays the music industry is just trash i miss those 80s songs. But watch it even if you are not an Iranian.this movie is a gem.
