Reception
Critical response
Aile Arasında received generally positive reviews from critics. Writing for T24, Atilla Dorsay described the movie as a "real and clever comedy".[20] In his review for Sözcü Burak Göral did not find any "innovation" in the movie but added that its scenario "does not surrender to the cheapness of the recent comedy films."[21] Habertürk author Mehmet Açar commented on the film, which he considered to be "a fun comedy based on cultural conflicts," and is "over-packed with comedy material."[22] Nil Kural from Milliyet described the movie as "a presentable comedy" with "Successful acting performances that are accompanied by an elaborate screenplay and directing, creating a mainstream comedy that we had not seen in a while".[23] Writing for Hürriyet, Uğur Vardan said: "The scenario is somehow influenced by Avrupa Yakası and Yalan Dünya, and to some extent by The Birdcage, but in general it succeeds in making its audience laugh as a comedy movie."[24] In his review for Posta, Kerem Akça wrote: "In spite of its shortcomings, it is hard to find such a good written and well-played family comedy in our commercial cinema."[25] Sabah's Olkan Özyurt mentioned in his review that the film had not lived up to his expectations.[26]
