The movie starts well enough with the Turkish setting and over enthusiastic friends. Then the flick starts on shaky ground once it goes to Armenia.There are too many plots and subplots to compete with Kennedy's attempt to get back to Turkey. The viewer needs a history lesson to actually understand the whats, and whys in the story plot line.The whole movie begins as a silly charming adventure comedy then becomes a serious romantic story in conflict with local customs in marriage arrangement. It just becomes unfunny, silly and with a very sugary ending.

I thought this movie was brilliant: it's hard to lightly/humorously cover culture clash/romance/history/conflict all in one entertaining film, but this one does it. It's light and funny, it cuts through the more 'complicated' scenes that talk about the conflict between Turkey/Azerbaijan and Armenia with truth & humor, and most importantly, it tells a lighthearted, funny story about being (literally) thrown into a foreign culture.It was entertaining, funny, and beautifully shot. It completely transports the viewer to not only a different country, but also engages the viewer in the protagonist AND the antagonists at the same time. Brilliantly written.At the end of the day, what more can we ask for from a film?

There were times I didn't like this movie. It moves very slowly and the story is a far fetched. But I can't help but like it. I kept cheering for the two leads to get together even though the whole thing seemed silly. Some of the characters were amazingly one dimensional, (Tahn, Buldo and George) and some of the villagers seemed unrealistic, PLUS, the whole kidnapping/rescue thing was ridiculous.....But I could put up with it for the scene of them getting together.Ended well, enjoyable, moves slowly, but eventually worth it. The girl is the movie.

I when to watch this movie with high hopes but sadly it did not live up to my expectations nor personal standards. This movie is very boring and personally I would advise everyone not to watch it. I did not like this movie purely because of the amount of foreign language used in it, although using subtitles I thought this was its main downfall. It raced straight into the climax without us getting to know any of the characters background/personal information or history. It drags on a lot and gets very boring throughout although having some exciting scenes I still felt that it was boring and not at all interesting. It was so bad that I had to leave the cinema before the movie had fully ended, therefor I do not know what happened at the end although I probably could have predicted it anyways for their was no thrills or laughs during the film, there for I rate this movie a: 1/10.Hope you have found this review helpful.
