Yeah. One of the things I *did* appreciate about an otherwise enjoyable, but not stellar, film (imo) was that Tiana's story was kind of genderswapped in some ways. Like, yes, we have seen the "fun-loving guy makes frigid woman warm up" trope plenty of times, but something about the very specific dream of owning her own business and busting her ass made the story read more, to me, as a switch on the usual "super serious businessman learns to value love and family" story line. And I thought that was rad.

And I thought it was even more rad that she *didn't* give up her dream. She kept her old dream, but she made room for Naveen in it. And Naveen was supportive of her dreams and helped to make her restaurant business work, which is actually pretty huge, given how many grownass men TO THIS DAY still seem terrified of women who are driven and ambitious.

There are a lot of problems with this movie, but I definitely don't see any problem with the way the work/love plot worked out.
