‘Do Not Disturb’ (2023) Netflix Movie Review - A Wildly Entertaining Comedy

Do Not Disturb is a new Netflix comedy that follows a middle-aged man named Ayzek (C cem Yılmaz) who gets a new job as a night manager at a quiet hotel. Ayzek is a bit of a loner, but he's excited about his new job and is determined to do a good job. However, his first night on the job doesn't go quite as planned when he's faced with a series of eccentric guests and unexpected challenges.

The film begins with Ayzek, a former waiter on ferries, who is struggling to find a job after the pandemic has affected his industry. He is also dealing with his personal problems, such as his divorce, his estranged son, and his debt. He finally gets a chance to work at a hotel, where he hopes to start a new life. However, he soon realizes that his new job is not as easy as he thought. He has to deal with various eccentric guests. Each guest has their own demands and secrets, and Ayzek finds himself in the middle of their chaos. As the night progresses, Ayzek faces one hilarious and unexpected situation after another, while also trying to reconnect with his son and find some meaning in his life.

Throughout the night, Ayzek is also dealing with his own personal problems. He's recently divorced, and he's still struggling to get over his ex-wife. He's also feeling lonely and isolated.

However, as the night progresses, Ayzek starts to bond with the other guests and the hotel staff. By the end of the night, Ayzek has learned a lot about himself and the other people around him. He's also realized that it's okay to let people in and to ask for help when he needs it.

Do Not Disturb is a comedy that does not shy away from tackling serious issues, such as the impact of the pandemic on people’s lives, the corruption and inequality in society, and the importance of family and friendship. The film balances humor and drama well, making the audience laugh and cry in satisfaction at the same time.

The film also showcases the diversity and richness of Turkish culture, with references to music, food, politics, and history. The film has a fast-paced and engaging plot, with twists and turns that keep the audience hooked. The film also has a heartwarming and hopeful message about overcoming challenges and finding happiness in life.

Do Not Disturb is a wildly entertaining comedy with a lot of heart. The film is well-written and well-acted, and it's full of memorable characters. C cem Yılmaz is excellent in the lead role as Ayzek, and he's supported by a talented cast that includes Özge Özpirinçci, Yücel Erten, Uğur Yücel, and Nilperi Şahinkaya.

The film's director, Murat Şeker, does a great job of creating a sense of humor and warmth. He also manages to keep the audience engaged throughout the film's runtime, even during the slower moments.

One of the things that I really liked about Do Not Disturb is that it's not just a comedy. The film also has a lot of heart and emotion. It deals with themes such as loneliness, isolation, and the importance of friendship. The film's only real issue is that it's a bit predictable and confusing at times. However, this doesn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the film.

Do Not Disturb is a wildly entertaining comedy with a lot of heart. It's a film that I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good laugh. If you're a fan of Turkish comedies, or if you're just looking for a fun and heartwarming film to watch, then Do Not Disturb is definitely worth checking out.
