** The same basically goes for her "original oral": Cher had a good argument in the making, she was just too lazy to properly elaborate on it.

* Why would two high school teachers invite half a dozen students to their small wedding? Because at some point, Ms. Geist and Mr. Hall realized Cher and Dionne set them up and thus decided to invite them and Tai (with plus-ones) as a thank-you for helping them become so happy.

* Cher's CompletelyOffTopicReport on Haiti is actually the (rather crude and underdeveloped) foundations of a reasonable argument on the subject, for a high-school debate class at least. What Cher is essentially ''trying'' to do is make a comparison between her party and the wealth of resources available to the United States; while Cher was initially frustrated at the amount of attendees who didn't RSVP, she later discovered that she did in fact have enough to accommodate them and the party was made even more fun by their presence. Similarly, the United States might have to do some 'rearranging' to accommodate refugees from Haiti, but the country ultimately has more than enough resources to make available to them and their presence will ultimately have a beneficial effect on the country overall. It's an establishing of Cher's HiddenDepths: she's not unintelligent, she just doesn't apply herself.

* AgeGapRomance, FlirtyStepsiblings. Cher just turned 16; we know this because she failed her driver's exam. Josh is in college, but his age isn’t stated. He could be 18 or 19 (not so bad) but he could be (and probably is) older given that Mel insisted on staying in his stepson's life (also few 18-year-olds look that old). The movie's romantic climax has a college student in his mid-20s making out with his 16-year-old stepsister. Her father has absolutely no issue with this, nor do any of Cher’s friends.
** Ex-stepsister. It's weird but not as bad as if they were still stepsiblings.
** You'd be surprised how many 18-19 year olds can be YoungerThanTheyLook.
* Cher gets into a fight with Lucy for assuming she's from Mexico, when she's actually from El Salvador. It's sparked because the household got a notice about tidying up the garden, and Cher wants Lucy to talk to Jose the gardener, since neither Cher nor her father speak Spanish. Lucy gets offended at the assumption she must be able to communicate with him... but ''Spanish'' is both the official language of El Salvador and the de facto language of Mexico. Cher may be wrong about Lucy's country of origin, but she is absolutely correct about the point that sparks the incident in the first place - there's no reason whatsoever for Lucy to be offended about Cher assuming she speaks Spanish, because Lucy should be able to!
** The reason Lucy is offended is because Cher says "I don't speak Mexican", further showing just how ignorant she is. Cher had a good point that Lucy could communicate better with him, but she phrased it the wrong way that made her sound like an airhead.

It's more likely Josh is likely younger than 19 - he's only an undergad, and Cher says to his mum that she should "calll the dorms" to talk to him, so he stays on campus, not in his own apartment
