First, I would like to say that this movie deserves a better rating than it already has... Football fanaticism is a big problem in today's Turkey and I believe that people voted this low just because the main character is a Fenerbahce fan...
*/ Let me explain for those who are not familiar with the football fights in Turkey... I know people who wouldn't let their daughter to get married to the guy she likes just because the guy is supporting another team, now you get it? /* The movie is a romantic comedy, it starts with explaining how the boy felt in love with Fenerbahce and the ambiance of the stadium. It's followed by introducing the girl, a car crash and some more coincidences occur where these two are involved, the guy falls in love immediately, the girl is thinking of an ex-boyfriend so she is kind of not thinking of any relationship. The mothers of both meets through a common friend and start to think that their children would be a good couple so they arrange a meeting without telling the kids... She thinks that the guy is arranging all these so she gets angry... The guy is a medicine representative but also works as a part time waiter in a fancy restaurant, the girl's boss, also her best friend's boyfriend, invites her for a business dinner in this fancy restaurant and starts hitting on her. She gets angry for this behaviour and resigns and leaves the restaurant. She has asthma problems and with all that anger she cannot breathe and the guy takes care of her. He realizes that he cannot do without her so she goes looking for her, learns that she went out of the city to relax a bit so he goes to the same place... They fall in love and start dating... During all this time, the movie is filled with views from Fenerbahce stadium, fans and the beauty of loving the football club more than everything... Anyway, as it is a tradition in Turkey, the guy goes to the father of the girl to ask for his approval and he approves, the father is also a Fenerbahce fan so they like each other. In the meantime there is an important game going on and the boy thinks that Fenerbahce will win if he does not watch the match. (He has such beliefs, you can see different "so called totems" in the movie) The father turns on the TV and the rivals score, he gets angry to the girl's father and they start shouting at each other and the father throws him out. The girl gets upset for this and gets in an asthma attack. In the meantime the guy is fired because the girl's ex-boss doesn't want him to be happy, he even offers money so that the guy leaves the girl. The guy hears about the girl's situation, he runs to the hospital, the father says he is sorry, they make a "totem" and Fenerbahce fans don't go to the match, they come to the hospital to support the girl, she gets well and they get married... Happy ending...
It is full of clichés but it is a romantic comedy, you don't expect more than this from this genre. The photography and direction is good, the story is not bad so I think it deserves a 7... Watch it even if you are not a Fenerbahce fan...
