she could simple got married to a rich guy. it makes no sense, there is no way a woman like that is living in poverty with a ogre friend for almost all her adult life. ps. does anybody notice a plot hole in the porno flick? at first only the couple would do the film and sell it to their former classmates. the next day, they are in multimilionary production, casting actors, with sets and customized wardrobes.
There are probably several reasons why she lives like that. Part of me feels that she always had a thing for Zack, even though she denied it, so she wanted to be around him. People will do all kinds of crazy things when they're in love.
"LOL, that's not how life works! Modern women don't just "marry a rich guy" - can you hear me back there in the 50's? Ha ha ha ha!"
No, modern women have a successful career, make tons of money and still have time for a family. Oh, wait, that didn't work out for Miri, right?
Social/financial security was always a concern for women and it still is. Even if they can provide it themselves, they still prefer men that are at least equally successful. The same guy is more attractive to them in a Porsche than on a bicycle. And if there are two guys and the poor one is better looking, she'd still marry the rich one but have an affair with the other ;)
In the case of a poor woman, which is good-looking and would in real life constantly being asked out by guys, she would long have married a guy with a stable income. Unless she has some issues like being really dumb, annoying, or in some other way not acceptable for such a man.

Well, that may be the way YOU think. A lot of us prefer not to be so shallow.

There are enough statistics and tests to prove that. Last thing I've seen was a report where they put a guy in Jeans and T-Shirt and later in a suit with gold watch. Females rated him a 3.9 in plain clothes and 8.2 in suit. And that's nothing new, similar tests have been made time and time again, with statistical relevant group sizes and variations. So, yeah, a lot may not be this "shallow", but the majority is. And why is it "shallow"? Females are hardwired to get a secure environment for a family, they think of possible kids. I wouldn't call that "shallow", it's just logical and evolutionary necessary. Although there may be a lot that also consider personal advantage by living in a nice house, having enough to eat and go on vacation once a year to see something of the world, not having to worry that much about basic things. Those, of course, are shameless golddiggers that should burn in hell. See? At least we agree.
blah blah your sarcasm blah blah... smart, modern independent women don't have to live thinking about "Need big man, make me secure, have kids" - we marry who we love or take care of ourselves. All the condescending winky-winky girly talk is fine for you, you go ahead and find a doctor with a Hummer to have babies with. Live large.

Have any of you ever seen a really attractive female bum? No. They don't exist. Why?
Because they can't afford dental care (and maybe not even tootch brushes and tooth paste every day) so their teeth become rotten. They can't afford a gym membership or healthy food, so they just fill up on cheap, fatty & high-carb "filler" food when they do have money, so they get fat, and they can't afford new, fashionable (or even clean) clothes, and they can't wash their hair regularly and keep up with a beauty routine plus they are propbably clinically depressed over being a bum, so they let their beauty routine go, have greasy hair, don't wear makeup or have a hair style and leave any annoying facial hairs in place, and because of all of the above they end up overweight, possibly hairy, and with sunken, greasy features in ugly, possibly smelly, clothing. Even if they started off looking like Angelina Jolie or Scarlet Johanssen, they would end up being unattracted if they lived as a "bum", as you put it.
a perfect example is Charlize Theron in "Monster". That women is gorgious but you wouldn't call her such in that movie. In fact it is hard to picture as being anything other than what she looks like in that movie. The same goes with Christina Ricci - whom I think is very attractive but in "Monster". They both look terrible.

That's a load of crap, formal wear always makes a person look better, just like personal grooming makes you look better.. it has nothing to do with how affluent the individual is.

I agree social and financial security has always been important to women, and will continue to be important.
-- What I find strangest about this thread is that the only option the OP thought of for her was to find a rich man...is that was this person resorts to, to avoid poverty? Sounds more like prostitution to me.
I'm sure she could of lived at home and continued her education or applied for other jobs between work.
My biggest problem is that the OP acts as if attractive people can not be impoverished by circumstance, like poverty is an option or simply an "ugly" thing..
The same thing crossed my mind, but hey its a movie, and a comedy at that. In real life there aren't many women who could pass for Hollywood actresses that have to worry about their water being turned off.

Yeah, there are. Tons of 'em.

Beautiful or not, shes not shallow and she doesn't need a man to take care of her. In my eyes a REAL woman is independent, not this gold digging crap. You people amaze me.
The Op is correct, this would never happen in real life, however, it happens in movies all the time, in commercials too. Most likely because it's a guy fantasy that the world would be like this so screenwriters and directors do this all the time, it's called fantasy for a reason.
it is fantasy and it's getting extremely boring and predictable
It's almost as if hollywood is determined to never show a decent good looking guy with a gorgeous woman anymore. To get a hot chick ,you have to be a pale or fat nerd now.
