The Turkish comedy Her Şey Çok Güzel Olacak ("Everything's Gonna Be Great") was released in 1998. It was directed by Ömer Vargı and produced by Mine Vargı for Filma-Cass, with a screenplay by Cem Yılmaz and Hakan Haksun. It is known as the first cinema outing in which Cem Yılmaz and Mazhar Alanson share the lead roles. The film reached Turkish cinemas on November 27, 1998 and runs 107 minutes.

The story starts from two brothers who have long been apart. Altan, played by Cem Yılmaz, gets by on small-time scams and sees the pharmaceutical warehouse where his brother Nuri works as an easy source of cash. The contrast between Altan's stubborn optimism and Nuri's resigned attitude feeds both the humour and the feeling of the film. Alongside Cem Yılmaz and Mazhar Alanson, the cast includes Mesut Akusta, Nurgül Yeşilçay and Sinan Albayrak.

Gary Turnbull was the cinematographer. In Turkey the film drew more than 1.5 million cinema-goers and is counted among the country's most successful comedies. It opened in Germany as Alles wird gut! on May 23, 2002. Mazhar Alanson's music was also issued as a separate album.

Through different eyes

Yeşilçam Nostalgic A viewer raised on the classics, looking for warm storytelling and strong acting.

Her Şey Çok Güzel Olacak is one of the rare films that manages to fit an old-fashioned story of brotherhood inside a new-generation comedy. The contrast between Cem Yılmaz's stubbornly optimistic Altan and Mazhar Alanson's resigned Nuri is funny and carries real warmth. Two brothers who have long been apart drawing close again recalls Yeşilçam's themes of family and loyalty. Mazhar Alanson's music adds a feeling of its own. That it reached over 1.5 million cinema-goers is no surprise; even if some of the small-scam jokes run a little long, it is a film to watch with a light heart.

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

The script by Cem Yılmaz and Hakan Haksun uses the classic skeleton of a comedy about two brothers built on two opposite characters, and mostly makes it work. Ömer Vargı's direction is unshowy; he leaves the camera to the actors and chooses to feed on the pair's chemistry. Cem Yılmaz's verbal humour and Mazhar Alanson's calm, inward playing balance each other, and the film's emotional tone grows out of that contrast. Yet the middle section, circling the pharmaceutical warehouse idea, leans on sketches instead of moving the plot along, and the 107 minutes feel somewhat long. Even so, it is a confident film that brought Cem Yılmaz's distinctive comic voice to the big screen early on.

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

Her Şey Çok Güzel Olacak is a warm comedy about two brothers. Cem Yılmaz and Mazhar Alanson get on wonderfully, and teens and adults will laugh a lot. Because of Altan's small-time scams and the pharmaceutical warehouse plan, some of the talk and jokes are not for young children. It works well with teenagers. What stays with you is a good feeling about brotherhood.
