Turning to her godmother Judy (Sasha Von Scherler), a librarian, for help, she gets herself bailed out but Judy refuses to loan her money, instead offering her a job as a library clerk. Mary is initially doubtful, but soon discovers she has a natural talent for librarianship. Despite this, Judy doesn't respect her, thinking Mary will turn out just like her mother, a woman with "no common sense." With all of this Mary has to balance a budding romance with Mustapha (Omar Townsend), a Lebanese falafel salesman who wants to be a teacher, the continued affections of her ex-boyfriend Nigel (Liev Schreiber), and the budding career of her DJ friend Leo (Guillermo Díaz).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Brilliant, but Lazy: Mary's problem is that she has an enormous amount of potential but barely uses any of it. When she does she's able to do things like learn the Dewey Decimal System in one night.

"Arabian Nights" Days: the theme of the party Mary throws near the end of the movie. Mustapha is noticeably unamused.

Artistic License - Library Science: the movie is actually fairly good at depicting working in a library accurately, except for the scene where Mary organizes Leo's music using the Dewey Decimal Classical System. The DDC has very specific categories for organizing items by subject, and the categories that Mary uses are not even close to correct.
