Takes too long to come to the point

Warning: Spoilers
I must confess that during the first half of the film, I was seriously doubting my decision to watch this film as it felt like a movie about people who were just trying to get laid. Granted some of the situations, like with the wine bottle & the ring were funny, but mostly I felt like I was watching a crass film with no message whatsoever.

Fortunately, the later half of the film is better. It is only then that the theme is revealed. The search for true love is an uphill battle. More often than not, it can end in tragedy. Our blonde protagonist is a beautiful girl in a small town. Like everyone else, she wants to be loved. At the beginning, she shows her friend a ring & a picture of her fiance. She convinces her friend that she could not be happier. Then she meets a pianist from the city & gets romantically involved with him. So, she breaks off with her fiance & calls him a brute, which he most probably is. Afterwards, she goes to the city to meet her lover but realizes that his parents know nothing about her (quite a few funny moments in these scenes). Besides, her lover doesn't seem thrilled to see her either. Realizing that she has been taken advantage of, she returns to her dormitory. In the final scene, she's again seen showing a friend a photo & lying to her that her lover's parents were very nice to her. This makes the viewer realize that perhaps she was lying in the first scene too about her previous fiance. He probably was a brute & she didn't like him very much but was involved with him just so that she could make everyone, including herself, believe that she had someone who loved her. Perhaps, it is the lot of our flawed yet beautiful protagonist to be desired for her physical attributes but never truly loved for herself.
