What did Carlos see in her?

Agreed

I agree, she did look like a raggamuffin. But on the other hand. He was a child and was drawn to her because she seemed so carefree.

"Do you even remember what you came here to find?"

Although this movie came out in 2001-Grunge was a thing a few years earlier.

A lot of people I knew who had $$$$ dressed this way. Thrift store chic if you will.
Its a form a rebelling same people are now Brooks Brothers/Vineyard Vine just like their parents. She would've grown out of it (and him) too.


“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.”

I don't know what he sees in her either. Aside from the obvious that she just looks gross - I could smell the oily hair through my screen - in reality Nicole would he a quick bang at best.

Nicole getting him in trouble would have been the beginning and the end for a guy like Carlos. Even if he decided to see her again after that it wouldn't have gotten to the point where he would start seriously slipping. Someone that works that hard would never jeopardize their future for a screwed up slut. When she didn't care to use a condom with Carlos the first thing on my mind would be that she must not care to wear one with anybody. In a nutshell their "deep" relationship just wasn't realistic at all - total bullshyt.

She looked absolutely pitiful. The odds of a drop dead gorgeous Latin man being interested in her were all but zero. Biggest plot hole in the movie. Unless this was a reversed gender gold digging situation.
