Celal ile Ceren (Ger. Celal and Ceren ) is a Turkish comedy film that was released on January 18, 2013 in Turkish cinemas.
action
Celal and Ceren have been a couple for six years. When Celal announced that he would be attending a friend's bachelorette party in the Aksaray district of Istanbul and explicitly announced to his fiancée Ceren what he was going to do there, she threatened him with separation. Celal goes anyway, and when one of the friends later sets party videos on Facebook in which Celal is drunk dancing with women and insulting Ceren, she separates. At first Celal is enjoying his newfound freedom, but after a few failures he wants to go back to Ceren and comes up with all sorts of ideas. What sounds like a romantic comedy in the description of the plot is, at the dialogue level, a garment saturated with nonsense and sexism. In the end, after some back and forth, Celal and Ceren get married. At the party, however, Celal announced to his friends that he would like to celebrate his bachelorette party in Aksaray again.
Criticism and reception
The film was heavily criticized for its sexist worldview. According to the more than 30,000 user ratings in the Internet Movie Database so far , Celal ile Ceren is one of the hundred worst films of all time. Despite the vehement criticisms of Turkish film critics, the comedy attracted a mass audience, already in the second week after the premiere it had 1.5 million viewers.
