Speaking of Amber's dad and his diner, he continues to make the most absurd New York references, making Amber a "Coney Island bloodhound" sandwich and noting that Aldovia's streets "sure beat the Bronx Expressway."
In case you forgot who he was, he's helpfully wearing his "Rudy's Diner" shirt in a few scenes.
There was nothing else you wanted to pack, buddy? Not like, a nice button-down or something?
He deeply insults the palace's chef a few times, insisting that his daughter deserves to have diner food at her royal wedding. I repeat: diner food at her royal wedding.
It also seems like the movie is setting up a romance between Rudy and the palace chef, which is ridiculous but also fine (I GUESS) since Amber and Richard are barely ever together and always fighting.
To make it crystal clear that her father is Not From Around These Parts™, the script even has him suggest the palace decorate for the holidays with those giant inflatables. Sigh.
