The opening scenes are rife with the warning signs of leading a close-minded life, and their mother's distraught proclamation rings true even today: "It's not all about grades, it's about life. There's more to the world than call waiting and the mall. " While on a trip to Paris intended to expand their horizons, love develops fast and furiously, as they find themselves in over their heads, oblivious to the warning signs of a questionable relationship with two classic bad-boy archetypes, and defenseless against the pull of a European accent and a manly turtleneck.
