First, I want to state that I liked this movie, but I can point out some problems.
Even though it's only 85 minutes long, there're many moments when nothing relevant takes place and you fall into boredom. Many comedies put a lame love story or cool effects just to fill in, but in Delirium nothing of this happens. I'm not saying that this is wrong, but the "emptiness" was felt. Despite this, some scenes are very funny (specially Darin's).
The main characters are not well achieved. I get how the writer and director wanted the characters to be, but they're not well done, except for Mariano (Emiliano Carrazzone), which is, in my opinion the best played part of the three. I don't mean that Archain and Dileme are bad actors, I think they just don't fit this role.
You don't get most of the jokes if you aren't Argentinean or if you don't live in Argentina. This is not exactly a mistake, but a problem to reach foreigner public. It also features cameos of everyday's Argentinean TV personalities.
To conclude, I'd say that the point of this movie is to laugh Argentinean society off about how it treats famous people almost as gods. This style of "ridiculous" and exaggerated comedies really get me, and I hope this one is a kick off to see more movies of this kind.
