Plot

edit

Singer Solmaz and shopkeeper Fikret ("Fiko") have both just gotten out of 21-year relationships. Solmaz's has been dumped by her boyfriend (and the father of her daughter) and Fiko by his wife, who kicks him out. The two meet and Solmaz tells Fiko he can stay at her house until he gets back on his feet. At the same time, Solmaz's daughter Zeynep, a college student, gets engaged to her boyfriend Emirhan, but doesn't want his traditional, conservative family to find out her parents are unmarried and her father is gone. Solmaz convinces Fiko to pretend to be Zeynep's father and a police chief during the wedding. Fiko refuses at first because he's a terrible liar but eventually gives in. The wedding, originally supposed to be short and private affair, turns in a multi-day extravaganza thanks to the groom's family. Antics ensue.

Critical response

edit

Aile Arasında received generally positive reviews from critics. Writing for T24, Atilla Dorsay described the movie as a "real and clever comedy".[20] In his review for Sözcü Burak Göral did not find any "innovation" in the movie but added that its scenario "does not surrender to the cheapness of the recent comedy films."[21] Habertürk author Mehmet Açar commented on the film, which he considered to be "a fun comedy based on cultural conflicts," and is "over-packed with comedy material."[22] Nil Kural from Milliyet described the movie as "a presentable comedy" with "Successful acting performances that are accompanied by an elaborate screenplay and directing, creating a mainstream comedy that we had not seen in a while".[23] Writing for Hürriyet, Uğur Vardan said: "The scenario is somehow influenced by Avrupa Yakası and Yalan Dünya, and to some extent by The Birdcage, but in general it succeeds in making its audience laugh as a comedy movie."[24] In his review for Posta, Kerem Akça wrote: "In spite of its shortcomings, it is hard to find such a good written and well-played family comedy in our commercial cinema."[25] Sabah's Olkan Özyurt mentioned in his review that the film had not lived up to his expectations.[26]
