Query about one of the minor male characters


I just watched this film and quite enjoyed it but I have a query about one of the male charactes.

I can't recall his name so my apologies for that but he had curly bushy blonde hair and he was the one who claimed to have a Greek girlfriend living in Canada who was going to be his prom date. Througout the movie it appeared to me as if he didn't really have a girlfriend and he was just making it all up or perhaps living in a fantasy land as he seemed to be portrayed as being a bit of an odd character. Towards the end though he turned up at the prom with a woman a lot better looking than himself who seemed to be the girl he was talking about throughout the film.

I just curious as to whether people actually think she was his girlfriend or if he just hired an escort or something to go with him so he wouldn't look stupid? I don't think the film implies this as such it is just something I thought of as a possibility and was curious as to what others thought? Just opinions on this theory and on the character in general really?

There really is no right answer to it,but Rolo's date could be anyone. I personally didn't think about it until you brought it up,but the way he would describe his prom date made it seem like he was making her up.

So perhaps he took some random girl who fit the qualities he'd been telling his female friend? I don't know. Cute storyline,though!

Yeah I guess there is no way of really knowing as the film left it kind of open ended. Nice little side storyline though as you said.

Yes you were supposed to assume that he had made her up, as did the girl that kept asking him.
Don't think she fancied him she was just being nosy!
He was meant to be a 'stoner' off his head and continual munchies.
I think it was just a side story to with a bit of a moral- don't judge a book by its cover or make assumptions about people!
I think she was real in the context of the film (as in his real girlfriend).
