Media Convention
FORM CONVENTION.
Just like any other 90’s romcoms, the background music is an upbeat disco music showing the production team, director, and the writer’s name. In this movie, the introduction explicitly showed magazines written by the female lead, Andie Anderson. Surprisingly, the title was not projected on the screen during the introduction as well as the male lead, which was later shown in the movie.
