1. A cheating husband would normally photograph all of his sexual encounters, that he wants no one to know about (whats that, his diary!?) 2. A locked house is very easy to walk into (who designs their locks anyways, the three stooges?!!) 3.Managers of camera stores have huge, spacious offices overlooking the whole store with a huge window ( heck,why doesn't the gary Cole character have a marble statue of himself put in the parking lot while he's at it?!) 4.Taking pictures of a little girl playing on a lawn is considered a threat. 5.It's very difficult to believe that the micheal vartan character owns his own company. I mean this guy gives the impression that it would be a miracle for him to run a soda pop machine! 6. gary Cole says that he's fired lots and lots of people?? What the heck? Is this Savmart a haven for mentally disturbed people or something? 7.Nina Yorkin is apparently the dumbest woman on the planet! (she never knows about her husband cheating on her all this time, never even gets suspicous and she fully believes that a picture of a woman who looks nothing like Robin Willams character is his mother!

The only point I'm really with you on is #1. I thought the same thing. Granted, it was the mistress taking the photos, not the cheating husband, but why would he have let her take those pictures? Pretty stupid.

#2. Remember, it was a fantasy sequence that Sy was having. Him letting himself into the house never actually happened.

#3. It wasn't a camera store. It was a large, big box department store that had a one hour photo section in it.

#4. Yes. Definitely, given the situation and all the factors involved in the situation, it would most certainly be considered a possible threat. At the very least it is a serious invasion of privacy.

#5. I'll give you this one.

#6. If he's worked in management at a large store like that for a long time then I imagine he would have fired a lot of people over the years. They didn't all have to be mental like Sy. Just incompetent.

#7. Actually, I don't care one way or the other about this point. She wouldn't be the first person in history who didn't know about their spouses infidelity. Depends on the people involved.

P.S. Micheal vartan says he took the role in One Hour photo, because he was a Robin Williams fan long before this. Actually I always thought Micheal would have been great as tarzan, unfortunately he's a bit too old now.

About #5, I want to add something: If he was the owner of the company he would surely have some of his employees get that Mac cable he was shopping for. Instead he himself has to get it at the store.

8 - Sy has great people skills.
