About This Movie

So, 'Dad, Make Me Marry' is this quirky 1975 comedy directed by Oksal Pekmezoğlu. The film has this light, almost whimsical vibe, centered around a hippie who's in quite the pickle—his parents head off on vacation, leaving him with a newborn. It’s a bit of a chaotic setup, and yet, there’s a charm in how he uses the baby to win back his expatriate girlfriend. The performances feel genuine and kind of raw, capturing that carefree, yet desperate spirit of the era. The pacing dances between frantic and reflective, giving space for some really endearing moments. Plus, it’s packed with practical effects that pull you into the absurdity of the situation while keeping the tone light and humorous. Definitely a unique blend of family and romance through a very offbeat lens.

Features a blend of humor and heart, characteristic of the 70s.Noteworthy for its practical effects and genuine performances.Captures a unique slice of counterculture life.
