Edinburgh Festival 2014 Closing Ceremony - "We'll never have Paris

Address: Simon Helberg / Jocelyn Towne
Starring: Simon Helbergh, Melanie Lynskey, Maggie Grace, Zachary Quinto
Time: 95 minutes

Last curtain of the International Edinburgh Film Festival this year was the first game Simon Helberg, NEVER Paris A whiny and neurotic study how to fuck a successful relationship. Perhaps never in Paris, but something tells me I would not want Paris.

Written, directed and performed by The Big Bang Theory "s Helberg, never Paris" fantasy plot revolves around Quinn (Helberg) - A 20 bit cumbersome hypochondriac who decided his long-suffering girlfriend to marry little Devon (Up in the Air Melanie Lynskey ), bottles immediately if they show an apparently more attractive (a blonde bimbo with an appreciation of their masculinity and desire to offer presented.) Following the advice of his only best friend, Jameson (Love carries FREE bracelet / Poncho Zachery Quinto), it was decided to take the time for the ten-year relationship for the rest of unrealistically attractive women in his life. Inevitably, he regretted his decision soon and - in the largest typical Hollywood lifestyle - jump the next flight to Paris to continue Devon and confusing concept for true love.

While there are clear influences from Woody Allen, early Helberg not capture the New York neurotic Jewish man with something close to calligraphy or Allen charm. While logic dictates that the filmmakers definitely meet women at some point in their lives (co-director Jocelyn Towne as one, with several co-stars Helberg - this is not a work of Shakespeare, you know) and the absurdly humiliating in the women never behave Have Paris suggest otherwise. Despite the best efforts Helberg obsessive whining, crying and generally irritating to the length somehow the consecration to the heinous character escapes his - "understand" his girlfriend wander freely the streets of Paris, rather than argue with him that honor. Other women that Paris is never not much better, though; Beautiful bimbo stalking him everywhere and barks a night also defy belief. And that does not mean that most men do not also a problem with the representation of the XY chromosomes filmmakers also.

The soundtrack of "French" originally adorable, soon begins (like the rest of the functions of the film) rust and although it is responsible, lost several highly respected actors in roles and stereotypes that often spoils. Dana Ivey, in particular, very little is used in the role of grandmother French Devon - overused as puppets by his few short scenes.

With an end that defies human logic, we will never have to leave Paris, the kind of bad taste that is not erased even the best Bordeaux. The only other option would be French plonk and hope against hope that alcohol not be followed by a comma similar repetitive scenes of male neurosis.
