The Most Iconic Movie Makeover Montages: The Princess Diaries, Miss Congeniality, She's the Man, First Wives Club, Mrs. Doubtfire, The Devil Wears Prada, Hercules, Mulan and more

This week we're talking a look at one of our favorite Hollywood tropes: the movie makeover montage! You know it well... our hero is defeated. They're new in town, they've been broken up with, they've been fired, they're in a rut, they're lost. But with a little help from their friends... BAM! ZERO TO HERO (just like that)! There are few things we love more than a glow-up of our favorite movie characters. In this episode, we break down the best makeover montages of all time and give our own ANTM-style Makeover Awards for the all-time greats, including: * She’s all that * Legally Blonde * She’s the Man * Miss Congeniality * The Devil Wears Prada * Clueless * Mrs. Doubtfire * First Wives Club * Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead * Pitch Perfect * Bridget Jones * Mean Girls * 10 things I Hate About You * Mulan * Hercules * Moana * Cruella * The Princess Diaries * Dirty Dancing * Remember the Titans * Bend It Like Beckham * Blue Crush * Karate Kid * Warrior * Creed * Rocky * Knights Tale   Take a listen and follow @Valleygirlpodcast on Instagram to vote for your favorites!
