My car does not have a mirror on the hood. Why is there a mirror on the hood of the car?

Road movie . . .
Added 11/29/2008
Turkish-German director Fatih Akin says he was inspired by Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream" when he made this film, which is fair enough, but Hollywood road movies like "It Happened One Night" more easily come to mind as you watch this unlikely story of quarreling travel companions destined to fall in love. And this is the flip side of two pretty heavy coins - Akin, who is better known for his "Head-On" about the desperate lives of Turks in Germany, and German cinema itself, not often known for light-hearted romantic comedy. Yet, most of the time it works. It's sexy, funny, and fairly full of surprises, as our callow young hero, who after a one-night unconsummated tryst with a stranger, follows her from Hamburg to Istanbul. And tagging along is the more adventurous girl truly smitten with him (opposites in this case attracting true to formula).
Suspension of disbelief is in order from beginning to end, but most of the time you say "what the heck" and go along with it. It's classic, as Akin says in an interview. The hero must go on a quest to kill a monster, which in this case is within himself - his own timidity and suppressed emotions. A movie that's really more for the young at heart, it's probably a little too tame for real 20-somethings.

Leaves you feeling good.
Added 8/16/2008
I'm giving this movie 4 stars for two basic reasons. First, the adventures of the characters trying to get to Turkey seem a little too drastic. It's hard to imagine someone being robbed of everything and still being able to complete the journey. Second, some of the plot points seem a bit abrupt, especially the resolution of all the storylines at the end. It has a happy ending, but it seems like it all falls in place within 2 minutes. Those two things being said, I did like the movie. There is a little rough language and a few light drug scenes, but nothing raunchy. The storyline is interesting, has a somewhat surprise ending, and is somewhat edgy. While I wouldn't say it's the best movie I've ever seen, it did leave me with a good feeling all in all.
