Sounds like a good time was had all 'round. I admit, the more I see and hear about this film, the more I'm longing to see it. It strikes me this is exactly the kind of character I most like to watch ODAE sink his teeth into - the somewhat awkard, more repressed guy who goes on a lovely character journey through the film.

As for some of your other comments... well, I tend to think that some things in life are only getting better with age. ;)

I am trying to remember if ODAE has glasses. I don't think he does. There is desert, so I think there may be combat boots. Oh! there are waders and devastating use of a fly fishing rod!!! As romantic-comedy-like as this is, it is (I think) fun for the male part of the equation. I think LST would have liked it a lot, and I intend to drag him to it after Hunger Games.

I tend to consider glasses an extra-special treat, available only rarely.

However, from what is seen in the trailers I've watched, there is that adorable hat and, at one point, fancy dress. So extra-special treats of a different variety.

Don't even get me started on the fly fishing. ;)

YES. there IS fancy dress, sunglasses and sandwiches. Also fish.
