Emma Thompson in the fitting room.
I enjoyed this movie immensely, so this observation is actually quite petty: He invites her to his daughter's wedding and offers to buy her a dress, since her attire is not proper for the occasion. Fine. But every minute counts because he's already late. They enter a boutique and in fast motion we see Emma Thompson going in and out of the fitting room wearing the most outrageous, comic and adecuate only for a Carnival in Rio outfits, for the approval of the man waiting outside.
All these changings, if done in real time, would have taking a great deal of time, getting in and out of these very elaborate costumes (they were true costumes, not dresses), plus making comments, etc. She comes out with a little black dress, just fine for the wedding party. Why all that fashion show in fast forward?? To amuse the spectator? Maybe I missed some point, but to me that was a flaw in an otherwise perfect movie.
