That might explain a lot.

I suspect that she also filmed some of the interesting clips that take place between Matt and Tom. In particular the scene in which they are sitting in the backyard in lawn chairs talking, framed by a big red kiddie pool on the left and a rose bush on the right was great. Someone clearly intended to keep both of those items in the shot; it would have been easy to zoom in on just the two brothers. If she shot that scene then she also has a good visual sense of humor as well as a sharp sense of editing.

And this on top of letting the little bro in law crash in their house

Everyone should be so lucky to have inlaws like that. 🙂
