Here's where it fails: there's a scene where Peter, in the midst of his mourning, is discovered in his destroyed apartment listening to Sinead O'Connor
singing «Nothing Compares 2 U,» which is not funny; as the scene progresses, in the background we (
barely)
hear the tinny strains of The Smiths» «Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now,» which is frankly hilarious.
