Weren't women prettier in the 80's?
This is not a rant, but I'm not completely joking either.
There's not a single tacky or trashy (except the bum), or ugly woman in this movie. You have a cute smart Asian-American girl (Lisa, the translator), cute nerdy girl with glasses, wearing jeans (the radiologist), beautiful introvert with hazel/radish hair and cat-like green eyes and the happy-go-lucky insecure blond. And non of these people is a super model, or had tone of make up.
Just naturally cute, attractive and pretty women.
Carpenter just knew how to pick people with natural looks and charisma.
