They lose the glasses as the movie goes on


In the early scenes, they have them wearing the glasses pretty much all the time because they are trying to identify them as being smart and geeky.

But then Albert shows up and the glasses come off - of both girls. I think Mae wears them one more time and then poof.

These are pretty girls but if they wanted to show them as being different than the other girls, they could've done it in a better than than just sticking glasses on their face.

I know, right? I can't believe it's been 15 years since SHE'S ALL THAT and they keep doing that in movies!

Yeah it is a totally played-out movie trope. The girl who by all objective standards is absolutely gorgeous but they throw a pair of glasses on her and play her off as the ugly-duckling who everyone teases. It's just so been-there-done-that.
