Probably weakest in the beginning. She is quite irritating, and the movie would probably worked better as a romantic comedy if she had been more awkward and a little less unattractive. But having created such an ugly duckling, by comparison the swan at the end seems only superficially better.
So the real flaw in the movie, realized by reflection after it ends, is that the movie is entirely selfish from her perspective. Unlike other movies in the genre, she brings no joy to anyone else, and remains as deeply flawed at the end as she is at the beginning. There really is no inner beauty to be found, or at least none that we ever see.
I really don't think it is a very healthy movie to watch because I felt the character was doomed. She never seemed to learn the lesson that in order to receive, one needs to give.
