Could arguably be a modern re-telling of Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice," of which Kathleen is a fan. Joe Fox mimics the story's male protagonist Mr. Darcy (Pride), while Kathleen Kelly mirrors the female protagonist, Elizabeth Bennett (Prejudice.) Like the novel, the two meet under casual circumstances only to end up at odds with each other due to differing views and opinions. Like Elizabeth, Kathleen becomes determined to hate Joe Fox due to his proud disposition. But, their continued encounters lead them to eventually fall in love. The redeeming factor of the novel however, is inverted in this film. In the story Darcy finally "wins over" Elizabeth when she learns of the noble service he selflessly performs for her family. Joe Fox on the other hand, does Kathleen a great "disservice" by putting her out of business; making the story somewhat unique as the two fall in love in spite of this.
