After this review, I'm still debating it. I've heard from some people who think it's quite entertaining, and others who think it's very childish. Your review seems to indicate that it's a bit of both. Ah, well. Maybe I'll give it a peek sooner or later.indy2003https://www.blogger.com/profile/12138143055972033015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-35207351580737342912008-09-22T08:28:00.000-05:002008-09-22T08:28:00.000-05:00I felt that "Wedding Planner" was trying to do the...I felt that "Wedding Planner" was trying to do the same thing the first 90% of the "Wedding Special" was doing. That is, there is an element of old school camp in the actual wedding story that sticks out from regular Green Arrow continuity, but still works *at least, until the damn bedroom fight scene). "Wedding Planner" was obviously trying for this as well, but failed miserably. The hallmark of good camp is ironic self-reflection, which the Planner had none of. There is a difference between playful immaturity and just being juvenile, and Torres either doesn't get that, or can't do it.bkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946195400727987200noreply@blogger.com
