Warning: Spoilers
Summary of this review: Kept my interest, but only because I didn't know the ending would make me want to pull my hair out.

Main actress is infatuated with a college student. He treats everyone like dirt (including his mom) and completely ignores her when she tries to talk to him. Why does she like him? He has LITERALLY has 2 redeeming qualities. He is a talented artist and he smells good. His eyes are always red, and there are rumors of him being an alcoholic, druggie, and a womanizer. Despite all this, the main character can't get into the nice guy who wants to marry her because she is hung up on this loser. Finally, she discovers why he smells good and why his eyes are red. It's a plot twist, but I thought it would wake her up. NOPE! She still thinks she will be happier with him than someone who treats her nicely and values her opinion. When she explains to her parents why she likes the loser, she only has shallow things to say (his height, his eyes, etc.) It was so bizarre and dumb. I watched it to the end though I skipped some of the musical numbers. If I would have known she would never wizened up, I might not have watched it all. UGH.
