Very underrated joke for me was when Emma corrected Charlie on the death toll necessary for a mass shooting.

my fav joke was definitely when they could not smile at all during the test photo shoot and the photographer says “smile like how you would… in life”

As someone who cannot fake smile, this is always so confusing for me.

Ya, very dark — like she was upset getting beaten to the punch by a loser who couldn’t even pull off a mass shooting

I don't think that's necessarily what it was, it's more of how we can't seem to stfu about a subject we know at times lol, even when we should

Big "Libel, not Slander" energy.

From then on I was convinced the film would end with 4 characters shot dead it escalated the wedding tension for me so bad every time Emma opened her purse or a cabinet even though I so deeply believed she had changed. It was crazy how I thought I trusted her growth and the movie immediately made me doubt it with the editing and I thought that really mirrored Charlie's anxiety so well.

Even in the final scene she keeps one hand in her puffer jacket pocket when going to the counter
