When the owner of a Turkish food stand hires his nephew to film a commercial in hopes of bringing in new business, the competition between the Turkish stand and an adjacent Greek food stand finds family tensions rising in director Anno Saul's darkly comic family drama. 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

Kirstin B.

This was a decently entertaining movie. However, the description says it is about 2 feuding families in the food biz. Um. not really. Sure, that is the setting for the flick but, really its about what happens when the lead's girlfriend gets pregnant. So if you are in the mood for a baby-momma drama, then fantastic! If not, then maybe this isn't the movie for you.

A very funny and original movie. As one review said, it is not so much about two feuding families as it is about a young Turkish man's decision to stay with his pregnant German girlfriend or to remain free. There are several subplots that include his filmmaking and his attraction to the niece of the rival Greek restaurant owner. I would classify it as an offbeat romantic comedy and I found it vastly entertaining.
