Sound Analysis:

The film begins with the only ident that being Universal Studios this at the same time begins with non diegetic sound which has a Spanish theme which becomes apparent as the credits start running we see terracotta tiles on the tops of houses with palm trees and hot weather signifying it is somewhere hot and with the Spanish themed music we think of Spanish islands. 
Then as the music continues we get air view shots of an island. Then the music fades slightly but doesn't diminish into the background where it becomes background music for a party. This showing an Audio-Bridge between the opening of the film and the ident  
 The film is showing signs of being a romantic comedy because of the happy jingle that is playing in comparison to jumpy low sounding music with strings like in the horror genre.
