* AnAesop: Both Jenny and Lola learn a couple:
** Jenny: It's good to focus on school and be responsible, but you should allow yourself to have fun once in a while. Also, sometimes you have to take a risk to get what you want.
** Lola: Having fun and being a "student of life" is all well and good, but you have to take into account how your actions affect the people around you. Also, just because you might fail at something is no reason not to try.



* HiddenDepths: Lola is initially presented as a cool, devil-may-care rebel who ditched the traditional path of college to be a "student of life" and make a living as a photographer. [[spoiler: Not only is her rebellious behavior limited to the occasional parking violation, but she actually did want to go to art school. She just didn't have the grades for it.]]

* JerkassFacade: Lola isn't nearly as uncaring as she acts. Her screwing up Jenny's date was done out of [[HanlonsRazor carelessness rather than malice]] and at the end of the film, [[spoiler: she trades away her most precious possession, her camera, to make it right.]]

-->'''Bobby:''' They'll kill you when they find out a total stranger is watching us!\\
'''Jenny:''' And who's gonna tell them?\\
''(the kids give her a look)''\\
'''Jenny:''' Does anyone have to go to the bathroom?
