Still, the protagonists of the first two movies never got an implied nude scene like Katie does here.

Hotter and Sexier: Not much, given that it is still a PG-rated movie aimed at teens.

She may be shallow and conceited and doesn't mind lying to get what she wants, but she does have a some decent emotions somewhere, very deep down, as she admits that she only is going along with her mother's scheme because she is jealous of Katie's talent and wants to be more than just another pretty face.

Hand-or-Object Underwear: Katie attempts to cover up her nakedness by using a potted plant (which subsequently breaks) and later a welcome mat.

He may seem ' Satan's very own personal mini-me', but he does actually care about Katie (since she's the only one who cares to remember his birthday among other things) and mans up to help her when he sees she really needs him.

Financial Abuse: Gail threatens to steal Katie's inheritance if she does not go along with her scheme.

Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: Bev's character overall.

Dreadful Musician: Bev couldn't carry a tune if it was strapped to her back.

He then promptly give her his jacket and proceeds to continuously, if subtly, check her out.

Distracted by the Sexy: Luke momentarily upon seeing Katie naked except for the door mat she's using to cover herself.

Darker and Grittier: Though still very much a movie acceptable for younger audiences, neither of those which proceeded it dealt as blatantly with sexual or adult content.

Dare to Be Badass: Upon seeing Bev get ready to seduce Luke with the load of lies Gail cooked up, Katie decides to take her life into her own hands.

Dance Off: Angela uses this to distract Gail at the dance.

He steals a stage camera and turns it on Katie while she's singing for Bev, just showing everybody the truth.

Cutting the Knot: Luke, as soon as he figures out what's really been going on this whole time.
