This is a cute movie, but not particularly noteworthy except for Trevor's performance. She shows a definite comic ability and pulls off her role wonderfully, displaying exasperation, resignation, exhaustion and dog-like devotion throughout the flick, along with that ever-present look of unrequited love in her eyes.

She is hopelessly in love with him, but he completely overlooks her (until the end of the movie, of course).
