Hababam Sinifi Askerde is the second remake/sequel of the 1970s hit films adapted from the great Turkish satire writer Rifat Ilgaz' novel. The original series, with its good and bad moments, was a bunch of heart-warming stories in the memories of many. This, on the other hand, is nothing but an abomination attempting to capitalize on that old, naive memory.
Nothing about this movie is worth the slightest amount of praise except occasional moments when individual actors do something right to get a slight smile from the audience. There is almost no sophisticated comic effort or clever twist, just blatant swearing and fart-jokes targeting the lowest-level intelligence. The cast list is one full of inexplicably popular but painfully talentless names, and Kemal Kenan Ergen fails to produce a script worthy of the late grand master Rifat Ilgaz.
