Betrayal, second chances and revenge get a light, comic treatment in Her Şey Aşktan, a Turkish romantic comedy.

Pelin (Hande Doğandemir) works as a cashier and shelf attendant in a shopping mall. She regards İlker (Mithat Can Özer), her partner of three years, as the love of her life and throws herself into the wedding preparations. Ten days before the ceremony she catches him with another woman in the home they were meant to share. Too proud to accept his apologies, she tries all sorts of things with her closest friends to get over the heartbreak, until the rock drummer Burak (Şükrü Özyıldız) becomes her companion on the adventure. Özcan Deniz guest-stars as the psychic Kado, alongside Hakan Meriçliler, Bala Atabek, Dilşad Şimşek, Hakkı Ergök and Lale Başar.

Through different eyes

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humour and heart.

The story of a woman who catches her partner with another woman ten days before the wedding. The comedy is light, but the themes of being cheated on and revenge are not for small children. It is more comfortable for teenagers and adults. The message of friendship and a second chance is warm. If you are watching as a family, think about the children's ages; it runs 104 minutes.

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

Being cheated on, a second chance and revenge: the most familiar trio of romantic comedy. The post-breakup adventure with friends and the rock drummer who turns up along the way look like parts of the template. Özcan Deniz's guest turn as the medium Kado may add a surprising colour. The real question is whether Andaç Haznedaroğlu's direction and the screenplay he co-wrote with Ayşe Balıbey step outside that template; if not, it remains a safe genre film. In this kind of film, editing tempo, song placement and the actors' energy decide things. Edis's Vay is among the songs released for the film. In short, expectations should be set accordingly.

History & Society Lens Asks about the period, the social background and what the work reflects.

Pelin, a cashier and shelf attendant in a shopping mall, rushes through wedding preparations without sparing expense, and the breakup that follows gives a telling cross-section of relationships, work and wedding culture in city life. At its core is solidarity among friends: getting through the pain with the closest people around her. The comic tone lightens heavy matters, which is a plus, but also keeps the film from digging into the social side of betrayal. It makes no claim to that kind of depth anyway, so this is an observation rather than a criticism.
