Review: Bad but entertaining, ‘Miller’s Girl,’ starring Jenna Ortega, is pure unintentional camp

It’s been a long time since we’ve had a worthy entry in the Completely Bonkers Cinematic Canon, which makes Jade Halley Bartlett’s “Miller’s Girl” a real treat. The Miller’s girl in question is Cairo Sweet, played by Jenna Ortega in a riff on her “Wednesday” character. The title “Miller’s Girl” has a double meaning: Cairo’s English teacher, the aforementioned writer, is named Jonathan Miller. Also, Cairo’s a fan of the notoriously banned novelist Henry Miller — she brings a copy of his erotic novel “Under the Roofs of Paris” to the first day of class, along with a copy of Jonathan’s unsuccessful collection of romantic short stories, “Apostrophes and Ampersands.” In this public high school there appear to be all of two teachers — Mr. Miller and Coach Fillmore — and two students, Cairo and her flirty, petulant best friend Winnie, whose catchphrase is “hungy.” The girls devise a plan to seduce their teachers, mostly because Winnie has got it bad for Coach Fillmore, and because Cairo needs a topic for her college admissions essay about her greatest accomplishment.
