Details

Late 19th century in Alexandria. Two traditionally rival Turkish families, "Seferoglu"s and "Tellioglu"s are competing for the "Green Valley". The winner will be determined by Daver Bey, who has a beautiful young daughter, Leyla. Both families try to arrange a marriage between a man from their family and Leyla, so that Daver Bey will be inclined to give the green valley to his "relatives". Tellioglus, who are behind in the race, desperately find a final solution: They will fake their idiotic butler, Saban, as the highest ranked Ottoman soldier in Egypt: Tosun Pasha.

Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
ilker-taysi One of the funniest Turkish movies Tosun Pasa requires that it must be seen in its original language Turkish... Unfortunately, if a non-Turkish speaker tries to enjoy the movie via subtitles, s/he will probably fail so. Besides, the movie will appear to be absurd. However, for Turkish people, it is a golden classic as can be seen from the ratings. Kemal Sunal and Sener Sen who were the most famous comedians of that time resembles Jack Lemon and Walter Matthau or maybe Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin. They have many other movies acting together where Kemal Sunal plays the dumb but the lucky one and Sener Sen plays the person frustrated by the acts of the other and unlucky one. "Hababam Sinifi" is another wonderful movie of this couple...
Alper Ekbul First off all I apologize for my bad English. The movie is one of the best samples of Turkish film industry; instead of poor funds like burhankurt said on his comment. But I never agree with burhankurt who said "this film is crap". Please tell me another movie (turkish or other)that you watch hundreds times and laugh every time. I have to say you are the one who doesn't like this movie. Sener Sen, the star of the film with Kemal Sunal, is one of the best actor in Turkey. I think, if he lived in the U.S.A. he would be one of the most popular actors. I wanna to say to Sener Sen and Kemal Sunal "Thousands of thanks for laughing us since many years". I summarize my opinion about the movie just with one word "excellent". P.S.: The movie, which burhankurt mentioned in his comment, named "kurbagalar", not "kurbaglar".
izbe All the story is about a man who is totally clumsy and unskillful. It's great opportunity for a view for Turkish tradition and ancient lifestyle. All the wits are not only for Turks , i can say all for globally.First i can say during the one a half hour my brain is totally shocked for the jokes who are very simples and pleasurable. It' s not a sitcom like the American ones. There are many place in this movie who have a historical value.For the final words i can say enjoy it and if you can watch in original language and customized subtitle.
timofte55 This movie is one of the best movies of Turkey. Like "Sabanoglu Saban" and "Süt Kardesler" Halit Akçatepe, Kemal Sunal and Sener Sen showed superb performance. If you want to laugh just watch one of these tree movie. These tree actors really great actors. also Ertem Egilmez (The director of the movie) is a great director. So the product of these actors and director of course will be the best.. The events between two important families "Telliogullarý" and "Seferogullarý", Their struggle for "green valley" was told. The intelligent! man Sener Sen try to get Green walley by introduce Kemal Sunal, the male servant of telliogullarý family, as Tosun Pasha. However, Tosun Pasha is the most powerful Pasha of the Palace.
