Adam (Daniel Desmarais) is a moderately successful, and quite honestly
moderately talented wedding videographer at a time (the 1980s) when not
everybody had a close-to-professional camera on their phones. And not only
professionally, he's over the moon when his crush from high school Valerie
(Jackie McCarthy) hires him to video a party of hers ... where she
announces her engagement to Trevor (Bj Gruber), a guy much better looking
than Adam who just happens to work for a corporate video company. Adam is
crushed, but with gritted teeth, he offers to make her the best wedding
video ever. Only, if one lets oneself drive by emotion, one's bound to
make mistakes ... This one's really good fun, an underdog
comedy that doesn't go out of its way to give its audience the same-old
same-old happy ending but rather concentrates on a rounded-out and highly
amusing - amusing even in its sad moments - narrative and on its nicely
fleshed-out main character. And if it wasn't pretty hilarious before, the
punchline would be enough to make this one worth a watch.
