Though the aspiring filmmaker's catchy commercial does little to increase the profits of the struggling Turkish food stand, the owner of the nearby Greek stand sees the potential in advertising and soon places a request for his own commercial with the eager young director. Though his disapproving uncle makes it undoubtedly clear that he vehemently disapproves of the endeavor, the filmmaker drives a sizeable wedge between himself and his family when he sets about shooting the advertisement regardless of their objections. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Boyd van Hoeij, european-films.net
The situations, if not entirely the characters themselves, are convincing and funny because they are so recognisable. This immigrant feel-good comedy is honest and amusing.
