"Carl" vs. "Steve"
Are there any women besides me who would have taken "Carl" over "Steve"? Just asking.
shareI wouldn't have minded...
The only thing I didn't like about Carl was that he kinda seemed to presume she would say "yes." He acted like he already lived there, called the Christmas tree "his tree" and making plans before she'd even really answered ((okay, he had probably bought the tree, but it was for her apartment, and it was IN her apartment.)
For Connie, though, I think the fact that Carl had been around for two years and she'd been avoiding the question kinda is a red flag that Carl should've listened to. I don't think Steve is better than Carl for Connie, but she obviously wasn't really interested in Carl as a person.
I dunno. It seemed like she was still mostly hung up on her dead husband, and that part the movie never seems to resolve.
