The only thing that makes Princess sympathizable with the audience is that she really wants a low-key wedding deep down, is embarrassed by her parents' gaudy behavior, and is a good cook, offering to make breakfast for the Salazars. The father, in addition, insists CJ sign a prenup when they're all at the dinner table, insulting the Salazars. ![]() This gives off the idea that women should be simple, low maintenance and humble to be worthy of respect, and if not then they're scorned and made fun of. We're supposed to think the mother-in-law is ridiculous, with her ideas for the bridesmaid dresses being over the top Lady Gaga-esque sea themed frivolity- more camp style than traditional wedding. The movie, in addition, enforces gender roles, and the idea that a woman must be modest, quiet, and non-flashy to be worthy of respect. It would be especially embarrassing because out of all the siblings, she was the overachiever and they all expected her to be doing well. There would be a sense of shame if her family found out and even more if people outside the family found out. ![]() Teddie was supposed to be a teacher in Spain but there was a recession and she was laid off but she didn't want to disappoint her mother. ![]() She was the one working multiple jobs that didn't even fit her degree, sending money back home while doing so. Teddie should have had those lines because she was the one working as a maid, and a waitress at a bar.
