On the Nikon, I enjoyed being able to send shots to a slideshow...
Unfortunately, one of the drawbacks of the film is its pacing and the endless reiteration that Elliot is not right for Caroline and he is The Baxter of all Baxters. For example, there’s Elliot’s mantra, “Compromise is the key to success,” Caroline’s Freudian slip when she introduces Elliot as her friend and Bradley as her fiancé, and Elliot’s hilarious if not pathetic plan to honeymoon at Yellowstone Park complete with “camping, fishing, and guided tours...
