There I sit, experiencing perky overload as I watch Amanda Bynes play a teen princess who has to cross-dress as a boy to get on her school soccer team.

There I sit, suffering total numbness of body and brain, no longer having to wonder what it might be like to be buried alive in gooey marshmallow.
