Bad Santa 2 (2016)

Horrible

[17 November 2016]

I have to admit that I might not be the target audience as I was hoping that my Sneak Preview ticket would land me in a showing of Arrival. But instead it was Bad Santa 2.

As I hadn't watched the first one, I had no expectations coming into this one. What I saw though was a horrible piece of comedy and wanna be edgy screen writers with a clichéd main stream comedy approach.

Skip this if you like good movies. You might enjoy this if the funniest thing you saw this year was naked Sasha Baron Cohen taken from behind by an elephant while sitting in another elephants vagina. And even that movie was much funnier than what Bad Santa 2 tried to do here.

Garbage/10

G.O.R.A. (2004)

Great movie, superb Cem Yilmaz

[6/10 · 2 December 2004]

* This is my first movie comment, so please don't get too serious with it :) *

After watching G.O.R.A. last week for the first time, I was so excited, that I wasn't able, to stand a week, without watching the movie, so I visited it last weekend again and I think, that this movie is the best production in Turkish comedy movie history :)

The special effects, the set and especially the actors were all doing a great job! It was a real surprise, that this movie was even better than Cem Yilmaz's comedy acting in "Bir Tat, bir doku..."!

But there are some negative points for the "foreign"-movie visitors: The humor is all around Turkish-lifestyle, so they maybe don't understand most of the funny lines and acting. Further the subtitling was really bad! Most of the movie was inside the G.O.R.A. prison and so it was not able to read the white subtitles on white background. A slight shadow under the text would helped a lot.

Sure this movie doesn't has the emotional deepness of for example Vizontele, but it's a funny movie and far better than some German pendants like "Traumschiff Surprise".

I don't want to loose much words about the plot itself, because other users did this already very well, but I can say, that almost EVERY minute in this movie had jokes, that were so awesome, that you were not able to NOT jump out of your seat :) Especially the scene, where arif and ceku where creating some kind of romantic atmosphere and bob marley faruk farted while he was sleeping right next to them. I know, it sound very childish, but the overall acting and the reactions from cem yilmaz were so unbelievable funny, I was not able to hold my tears from laughing. *In fact I hate fart-jokes and crappy fart-movies like "Nutty Professor II: The Klumps" and others...*

Although most of the environments were done very well, sometimes you were able to see not so well done background images and some scenes were used twice... But nothing, that would distract you from the main aspect of the movie: Making you laugh :)
