First off, I'm not a fan of musicals so my lack of love for this movie can and should be taken with a grain of salt. However, I am a big fan of The Proclaimers and having visited Edinburgh twice in the last couple of years, thought I would enjoy the scenery (which I did).
Here's the thing. In my experience of The Proclaimers, they (like the good Celts they are) sing about three things: Love&Sex / God / Politics, This movie only shines the light on one, which is why I think I found a movie inspired and infused with their music, disappointing.
Case in point, the song Cap in Hand does not find it's way into this movie - that's all you really need to know.
Some heartwarming scenes - and Edinburgh is stunning and beautifully shot, but that's about it.
