osprey_archerYou guys you guys, I just saw the season one finale of 2 Broke Girls, and it is a fairy tale retelling! This is almost as exciting as the time that Castle had a noir episode! It is, let’s face it, super hard to beat noir.
But! Fairy tale retelling! Cinderella, in this case, which I think is always a fun fairytale to retell, because there are so many possible variations.
Naturally, it begins with Max and Caroline getting invited to a ball. But! Their minds do not dart to princes! No: instead, they think of their cupcake business, and they concoct a cunning plan. They will sneak a cupcake into the ball! They will show it to Martha Stewart! Business success will follow!!!!
(They decide to take a beer-batter maple glazed bacon cupcake. I think that sounds scrumptious. Possibly it is just me? One thing that would bring this show even closer to perfection: more food! For a story about starting a cupcake business, it is surprisingly lacking in lingering cupcake shots.)
Their upstairs neighbor Sophie, who is Polish and fortyish and a total bombshell, is their fairy godmother. (She’s just bought a wand and a tiara at her favorite store, Rhinestones. I <3 <3 <3 Sophie.) They have a trying-on-dresses montage! I am not a big fan of trying on dresses, but I bet it would be awesomely awesome with Max and Caroline. (Max’s dress was absolutely ravishing.)
And then their car won’t start, so they end up riding Caroline’s horse Chestnut to the ball. I have no idea how the writers have managed to find this many storylines for a horse in New York City, but it is awesome.
SHENANIGANS ENSUE. They cannot get into the ball: Caroline’s name has been stricken from the list, because her father is accused of fraud and one of the most hated men in the city! (One of the things I like about 2 Broke Girls is that, though it is a comedy, they don’t forget the pathos of Caroline’s situation.) Caroline and Max are forced to sneak in!!!
Max delivers a very satisfying smack-down to her ex-almost-a-boyfriend who turned out to be a cheating jerk earlier in the season.
And they meet their prince! (Prince here meaning “business success.”) Or at least, they see their prince from afar. Because Martha Stewart likes their cupcakes!
I am kind of enamored of this show, you guys. Fairy tale retelling. Why are the second season DVDs not out until September!!
