Original, believable character interactions for the first half of the film...then then it turns into a steaming pile of romance movie cliché. Everything you can think of is here: the alcoholic father who miraculously turns his life around (for no apparent reason other than it's in the script); the shy best friend who just might be the perfect boyfriend; the rich playboy villain. Apaprently the director/writer just ran out of ideas and start ripping off other romance films. Stuff happens toward the end for no discernible reasons other than it's in the script. At least the songs are catchy. And Hollywood probably would have screw it up worse.
