you want conventional . forget it . this film be for those who love a delightfully skewed view on life and in this case the so called life of one renzo parachi . after the death of his mother and into his life come a whirlwind of a well meaning shyster in the form of alonzo turner ( aka robbie coltrane ) and at once turn his life upside down while simultaneously bring out the inner opera love renzo . this film rank a one of my favourite film because of it delightfully skew world that at the same time hold true to itself . renzo can never be consider an everyman but and if be honest and we can maybe hear an echo from somewhere within . well acted and well write and well shot and edit . if youre look for formula comedy and you would better off with some other film . otherwise and sit back and enjoy the ride .
