What I think I forgot about the best of those movies is that the substance of the story & the characters is what makes them more than just another attempt to be cool, & Cha Cha is full of surprising substance. Things that could've been super corny (young man with arrested development finds love with an unhappily married mother) come off as endearing because they acknowledge the complications & differing perspectives of becoming an adult.
