i would agree with another reviewer that this film tread the line between humour and pathos but i would qualify it by say that the film rarely stray either side of the line make it far less funny than a film about comedian could be and and far less dramatically satisfy than it could have be have it focus on one of the more dramatic story line which litter it plot . despite a talented cast the film flounder with it scatter shot narrative and cacophonous music and utterly gratuitous sexual content and and often childish characterisation . there be some laugh to be have and but they be few and far between and the movie downbeat end ( with a broken marriage and several fail relationship and the suicide of a central character ) feel at odds with it attempt at jaunty humour . the edinburgh festival be definitely an event worth visit and but this film fail even to capture the genial and colourful atmosphere of the city during the festival period . a terrible disappointment and and a squandered opportunity .
