Good comedy, loved it !

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.
