Senay and Ilber go on an overseas trip, hoping to change their unsuccessful careers. They participate in a gardening fair but found themselves in the middle of an adventure with unpleasant surprises just because they come across with wrong people. Senay and Ilber give up on their dream of becoming rich and decide to deal with the power that threatens all the humanity. Senay and Ilber, two partners of Senay Cüccaciye, sell garden dwarfs. When their innovative company becomes a failure, they decide to participate in a gardening fair in Sofia. They plan to meet new people from the sector and drum up their business. Things don't go as planned. They get into trouble by meeting the wrong people and being in the wrong place at the wrong time. They found themselves in the middle of a war between the good and evil. They learn about the dirty business of Mancov, a very rich and extremely dangerous businessman, and make an enemy out of him. While they try to solve the issues in their own ways, former Russian soldier Kenan Memedov and beautiful Russian girl Veronika become their instant helpers. They swear that they would not rest until they bring Mancov to justice and life is not the same for them anymore. From now on, instead of two craftsman who are trying to make some money, Ilber and Senay become heroes who are fighting for the future of the world.

    Nowhere near Yahsi Bati, but still enjoyable

    Cem Yılmaz(and his team) is great at synthesizing original works out of clichés. If you focus on short moments you'll be bored but overall it feels different. This movie aligns with that premise. The parts about the struggle of common Turkish people with foreign languages and Europe -Bulgaria in particular- are hilarious. Some impressive cold war era gadgets were on scene. Commercial product placements were smart and not irritating.

    Cons: it's nowhere near Yahşi Batı, even the late appearance of Zafer Algöz could not raise the bar. The content was insufficient to justify the movie length, it should end in 90 minutes at most. Overall 6.5/10

    Surprises... on the downside !

    Cem Yilmaz has a great reputation in Turkey. But seems he forgets that great reputation creates great expectations. I think this is the biggest problem Yilmaz faces now.

    I have seen Ali Baba and the Seven Dwarfs and I can say that it didn't surprised me at all. I do not mean that its a typical "full of fun" CY movie, unfortunately the opposite way round.

    First of all, the story itself is so poor, nothing interesting with screenplay. Its like CY had some jokes in his mind and created a story only to put those jokes in it.

    Another problem with characters. I did not understand what some characters really do in the movie, why do they exist, what would be the lose if those characters do not exist etc etc.

    Looks like CY found a formula for his movies somethings like:

    Find some jokes + Create a simple script (No need to be smart but should contain everything your audiences expect) + Choose correct actors & actresses (The ones who already tested and liked by fans) + Put CY name on it = Collect your money

    Simple but unfortunately there are some elements are missing in the formula. Such as, story, creating a character, plot, intelligence of viewers (The worst thing about this movie is that CY does not care about his fan's intelligence. He thinks that everybody is ready to eat whatever CY cooks. Of course, its so wrong.)

    CY makes films one after another. Don't know if because he has many things to tell or want to earn as much as possible or ... just don't know. What I know is that CY may go really down if keeps following the same strategy. This would be a shame for a genius, so I hope he wakes up to himself immediately.

    As a last word about the movie, its just a simple comedy. If I knew that before then Id not pay for it but wait until its on TV.

    Common Boring Movie by Cem YILMAZ

    Whenever I watch Cem YILMAZ and want to laugh, I am disappointed. Its scenario as well as acting is lower than expected.

    Cem YILMAZ has two masterpieces: Yahsi Bati and Arog. Apart from these two movies, it is better to watch his stand-up shows, not his movies.

    Most of the time, he chooses same players to work with in his movies. This is why he cannot come up with innovation.

    Great expectations !...

    I watched the movie today. As a Cem Yilmaz fan, I can easily say that this movie was the worst Cem Yilmaz movie ever. Playing two different character as a Cem Yılmaz is always a good idea. It was the only good thing for this movie. Cem Yilmaz is very clever and creative person. So, we were expecting more creative and funny movie but it was so boring. Some people leaved the theater before the end. I believe that Cem Yilmaz's next movie will be better than Ali Baba ve 7 Cüceler. In summary, I cannot say "you should watch this movie in theater". If you have time and you are a Cem Yilmaz fan like me, you can watch it in theater. Otherwise you may watch it from DVD or something else.

    Good work, this film has an international aspect

    The beauty of the film cannot be understood from the trailers, you should watch it.

    (Some people say that Cem Yılmaz(CY) asks vote from his fans, I don't believe in that, every film has its own audience. Besides, no one knows who votes from here so CY cannot know if any of his fans vote or not. Actually, I am not a fan of any famous person. If others like a movie but you don't, you can't blame that the ratings here are not real. You don't have to like every movie and cannot judge others' choices.)

    I saw the movie last night at the premiere, it was funny even from the start. This film has a more international aspect compared to past films of CY because it is located in Sofia, Bulgaria & has foreign actor/actresses, foreign people (producers, assistant directors, etc) who have worked in the making of the film.

    "Ali Baba & the 7 Dwarfs", has references to many Hollywood movies, including Hunger Games, Predator, James Bond. In some scenes, you can hear good Turkish local music (especially Barış Manço's songs) sang by the actors, themselves. İzzet Altınmeşe's son is also in the film starring as his father's youth. There is also reference to a previous film of CY, "Av Mevsimi" with a song, "Hayde Gidelum".

    In all his movies, CY is successful reflecting his local values on the screen & interacting them with the foreign ones in a critical way.

    It was very well thought to use a character, Boris Mancov who knows many languages including English, German, French, Italien, Arabian, etc.

    There are many parts in the film that makes you really amused & these amusements keep your attention, your mood high till the end of the film while making you really laugh a lot at many times. (Ex: "How Şenay help you?")

    Just before the scene when Şenay(Cem Yılmaz), İlber (Çetin Altay) & Veronika (Irina Ivkina) come across Kenan Memedov(Zafer Algöz), Kenan Memedov looks around the forest from underground with a periscope. In this scene, Kenan Memedov character reminds the wizard in the forest, Radagast the Brown in the Lord of the Rings Series. Zafer Algöz's Azerbaijan accent is perfect & his manners, the way he tells who he really is, is funny.

    With this film, CY has answered again that he doesn't use same actors or actresses in all his films. Çetin Altay, Josi Mizrahi, Irina Ivkina, Can Yılmaz(brother of Cem Yılmaz), and many other new faces are in "Ali Baba & the 7 Dwarfs". In one scene we see Ozan Güven (the actor recently from the film, "Pek Yakında") in a picture that Kenan Memedov shows us. Although this is Irina Ivkina's first acting experience, she is natural & successful. She adds a good image among other characters with her different Turkish accent (but fluent) & with her native Russian. Fahradin Fahradinov & Mariya Anastasyeva who played the roles of Interpol agents were also very well fit in the film.

    In summary, I advise you to watch this movie which is in theaters today, if you want to have fun, forget about the stresses of life & if you want to watch characters who have nice wit (=are ​ skilled at using words in a ​clever and ​humorous way).

    I wish CY, the director, actor & scenarist of "Ali Baba & the 7 Dwarfs" will make another film again soon. Turkish movie needs such brave & intelligent people who can make local values spread internationally & who can introduce Turkish actors, actresses to the world.
