This movie is 100% cliche, over-done plot lines and characters. I was surprised that people with the means to make a movie would bother with such simplistic, stereotyped content. AND YET, it somehow managed to cheer me up. In fact, I saw the movie two years ago, and now I'm trying to track it down again, looking for a fun movie for a pre-teen Spanish girl. I remembered two themes from the movie: 1) A young woman chooses between a shallow-glamorous marriage and her chosen career in science. 2) A young couple finds romance together after years of respecting the boundaries of friendship. Both of these are great themes for younger girls. And the simplicity of the plot and characters allows that age group to contemplate life without confusion and drama. I actually can't remember if the entire movie is age-appropriate for adolescents. But if it is, I'd say it's better that many of the Disney movies, with their steep sexual innuendos.
