Ep 37 - What a Girl Wants

It’s summertime, and that can only mean one thing: it’s teen comedy time! This time we discuss “What a Girl Wants,” the 2003 Amanda Bynes vehicle wherein she plays an ordinary American teen who finally meets her aristocratic British dad (Colin Firth) and just doesn’t fit in. You might call it a “fish out of water” scenario, but that incorrectly implies that there is a milieu in which Amanda Bynes’s character would be at home. It’s more like a “fish out of water but also the fish is allergic to water and falls down a lot” scenario.

Join us as we discuss more bad New Yawk accents, Colin Firth dancing in leather pants, a daughter who clearly inherited her total lack of situational awareness from her mother, Colin Firth dancing in leather pants, a musical Chekhov’s gun that never goes off, an uncomfortably romantic father-daughter reunion, and Colin Firth dancing in leather pants. Did we mention that Colin Firth dances in leather pants in this movie?
