On the latest episode of _Inside Amy Schumer_, we were treated to this fake trailer for a movie called _Princess Amy_, which stars Schumer as a “rancid peasant girl” who learns that she’s actually royalty.

Princess Amy _thinks_ her life is going to become totally perfect and wonderful, but she soon learns that being a Disney-style princess isn’t as great as so many young girls think it is. For example: she is forced to marry her weird, creepy cousin. She’s only 14\. Her one job is to produce male heirs. When that doesn’t happen, well, there are extreme consequences.

Maybe it’s finally time for girls to grow up dreaming about becoming lawyers or PR professionals instead.
