Fatih Akin has done very few movies, 3 full length movies as far as I know, but they are all gems and this is no exception. In fact I would put this as the 2nd best one after 'Edge of Heaven'. It's a great road movie, buddy movie, dark romatic comedy drama and adveture film rolled into one. It's definitely the lightest of his films but still has some tough moments. Watch it if you're a fan of well written and well directed movies that are not willing to compromise in order to sell to a mass market. I also recommended Fatih Akin's other films, especially the above mentioned one.
Only draw back to this particular DVD is that it's region 1. Not sure why there isn't a region 2 version.

Fatih Akin is one of the best and brightest directorial voices working in Europe today, and while this early film isn't quite as strong as his more recent masterpieces, it's still a sweet, funny and worthwhile love story. On the surface it's a very familiar romantic comedy plot - the misadventures of guy searching for girl he thinks he loves, while missing the fact that the perfect girl is right beside him. But it's so charming, with a fun, playful, inventive cinematic style, a great soundtrack, and terrific supporting characters that it's easy to forgive any clichés and a few moments of overacting. A film that will make you smile.

Controversial German-Turkish filmmaker Fatih Akin followed the critical success of his debut feature "Short Sharp Shock" and cemented his popular appeal with this cute rom-com that takes its protagonists from downtown Hamburg to the banks of the Bosporus in Istanbul that proved a successful sophomore feature.
Prolific German actor Moritz Bleibtreu makes a likable lead and generates great chemistry with the über-cute Christiane Paul as his sometime love interest whilst excelent support comes from the charming Mehmet Kurtulus at the head of a quirky supporting cast that includes the ephemeral 'dil Üner, the insane Branka Kati' and a brief appearance from Akin himself.
The accomplished filmmaker employs all the standard clichés in this run-of-the-mill road movie that is lifted to a whole new level by a diverse and talented cast and crew who put there passion for filmmaking onto the screen in a way that has long since deserted the Hollywood factory.
Hey, we got a long way to go, man.
