Hakan Algül directed and Ata Demirer wrote Eyyvah Eyvah 3, the third installment of the Eyyvah Eyvah comedy series from Turkey, which reached cinemas on January 31, 2014. BKM Film produced the 105-minute film and UIP handled its distribution. The series revolves around the colorful characters of the provincial town of Geyikli. Ata Demirer and Demet Akbağ lead the cast.

The story starts after the clarinettist Hüseyin Badem has married the love of his life, Müjgan. Her pregnancy doubles their joy, but money worries grow too, and to earn more Hüseyin plays at night even in the area's shabbiest venues. His traveling companion Firuzan, meanwhile, is a rising singer in Istanbul, and for Hüseyin she has become an old memory he sees on television and misses. Although they live separate lives in different cities, fate brings both to the threshold of a major test, and in Geyikli festival time has come.

Ata Demirer plays Hüseyin, Demet Akbağ plays Firuzan and Özge Borak plays Müjgan, with Serra Yılmaz, Salih Kalyon, Tarık Ünlüoğlu and Cengiz Bozkurt in the cast. Fahir Atakoğlu wrote the music, Gökhan Atılmış shot it and Necati Akpınar produced it. One critic praises the settled story structure and situational comedy, while noting that Firuzan's show takes center stage.

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

Eyyvah Eyvah 3 is an easygoing comedy the whole family can watch. Geyikli's colorful characters are back together, and Ata Demirer and Demet Akbağ get their laughs as usual. Hüseyin rushing between the thrill of becoming a father and the struggle to make ends meet is a sweet kind of trouble that grown-ups will recognize too. The series' familiar warmth carries on, so children and grandparents can share the sofa without worry. If you liked the first two films, you will enjoy this one as well.

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

By its third installment, Eyyvah Eyvah is a series that knows its own formula by heart. Hakan Algül handles the settled story structure and situational comedy with confidence, but at some point that confidence tips into predictability. The story is built around Hüseyin's marriage, the baby on the way and the struggle to make a living, yet its center of gravity keeps drifting toward Demet Akbağ's Firuzan; as one critic noted, her show takes center stage. That is a treat for a performer and a flaw for the narrative's balance. Bringing two lives lived in different cities to the edge of the same test is a sound idea, but stretches of the film feel like sketches lined up one after another. Fahir Atakoğlu's score, at least, lends it a warmth that suits the provincial setting.

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

I warm at once to the story of a man who earns his bread playing the clarinet. Hüseyin playing the area's shabbiest venues at night to support the home he has built with his beloved Müjgan recalls the modest, hard-working heroes of Yeşilçam. Ata Demirer's writing portrays the provinces without condescension, and whenever Demet Akbağ takes the stage she fills the screen. Some of the jokes struck me as a little loud, and here and there I missed a subtler kind of humor. The affection for the people of Geyikli, though, is the film's real music.
