Also, can we please never ever have another movie where the quirky girl who dresses in black and doesn't wear (much) makeup suddenly gets a makeover and dresses all conventionally and then gets the guy?
Ouhh! Snacks! The secret to any successful migration! Who's up for some tasty fried meat products!?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well, in "Drive Me Crazy" they did the same plot with a rebellious dude...but he looked better before the makeover too. Also, no more shopping montages, no matter what music they're set to.

move out and draw fire
Grease and Grease 2 sort of were oppo-trope. I mean, the goody-two-shoes kid had to don black leather to get the girl/guy and win.

And that's how it should be.
OK, maybe not all the time, but....

Woe to the fucking wicked.
erika, what if it's "Hallelujah"?
It would be cool to do a make-over sequence that didn't put people into vanilla (from a Hollywood standpoint), but made them more themselves, if that makes sense.

Sandy could have dressed in sackcloth and as long as she sang "You're the One that I Want" like that she still would have gotten the guy.

You know, the first few times, I was really moved by the "Hallelujah" montages...they just went to the well so often, I'd not be surprised if it's a soap commercial now. I actually kind of liked the makeover in "Clueless" though.

Movie Title Oddity: Currently there are four separate movies playing in San Francisco with the numeral "9" in the title: 9, District 9, $9.99, Cloud 9.
We're nine-ish.

Pfft. That's not the numeral 9.
