One more thing: The movie's reveal of her ethnicity - and how Kip hides it by referring only to her "sandy blonde hair" - makes it clear this was intended to be a surprise to the audience. Did some copyediting just so I could point that out here. Also, dancing with Deb despite taking Trisha initially isn't relevant to his use of the tip to upgrade his image, so I took that out.

It actually WAS pointed out in the movie, if you stuck around for The Stinger. As with everything else in the movie, it was subtle, but you can see one of her relatives Face Palm while the couple recite their vows. It's a real "There's no going back now" moment. Kip also "serenades" her with a hilariously bad hip hop song. That being said, could have been written better here.

*At the beginning of the movie when Napoleon and Kip try Rex Kwan Do, Rex says the class's principles are having someone watching your back, upgrading your image, and gaining self respect. Although Napoleon doesn't take the 8 week course, he does use those principles throughout the movie. He befriends Pedro, he gets a new suit to wear to the dance where he first talks to Deb, and he unexpectedly [[spoiler: breaks out of his shell and dances in front of the school at the end of the film.]] The amount of time the movie takes place over isn't mentioned, but it could very well be 8 weeks.
