Super cute
Cute, fun, wholesome, and heartwarming. Great holiday movie for the kids and the whole family.
An entertaining movie with heart and laughs...
Well, I wasn't really expecting much from the 2020 movie "Godmothered", with it being what was seemingly a run-of-the-mill Disney production. But still, as I hadn't already seen the movie and had the chance to do so, of course I found myself sitting down to watch this 2020 movie from writers Kari Granlund and Melissa K. Stack.
First of all I must say that "Godmothered" was indeed an archetypical Disney movie, but at the same time it managed to deviate enough from the blueprint that it was its own unique movie experience. I liked how director Sharon Maguire was poking fun at the genre itself with this movie.
Now, I am not particularly much familiar with actress Jillian Bell, but I will say that she definitely put on a memorable performance in "Godmothered"; a performance that was enough for me to take notice of her skill and talent. But aside from Jillian Bell, the movie also had the likes of Jane Curtin and Isla Fisher on the cast list.
The storyline told in "Godmothered" is a lighthearted one, and it is a story that has enough heart and laughs to provide proper entertainment from start to end. And the writing of the story was done in a very nicely manner, because the story progressed quite nicely throughout the course of the movie.
If you want to watch a Disney movie that isn't the normal typical sugar-coated dribble that Disney has been known to dish out, then "Godmothered" is a good choice, because it feels like a Disney movie while at the same time offering something that deviates from the archetypical Disney formula.
My rating of "Godmothered" is a six out of ten stars.

A feel-good holiday movie for the entire family, that still can believe in miracles.
"Godmothered" is a fresh Disney+ comedy, starring Isla Fisher and Jillian Bell. Directed by "Bridget Jones" director Sharon Maguire, the story is about an inexperienced fairy godmother, who travels to modern-day Boston. This is a fish-out-of-water fairytale world, that is adorable and brings a smile to your face. The narrative is filled with innocent situational humor and focuses on loving yourself. Also, it takes no sides and tells the audience, that it's okay to have flaws. With a politically correct finish, it loses some of the Disney magic, but that doesn't take away the smiles and the good feeling you will get from this experience.
the last 10 minutes
This was an interesting idea about the modern take on happily ever after but that last 10 minutes was torturous to watch... If you do a good job of storytelling, there is no need for preaching
Refreshing and Heartwarming
If you're looking for some cheesy laughs, this is the movie for you. Disney refreshingly continues to poke fun at its princess and true love tropes and offers a female led film with modern twists. It balances humor and heart, and if you watch with an open mind, you'll have fun too - which is exactly what this movie's experience is meant to be.
This is the first Christmas movie since 2006 that I can honestly say I will be adding to my annual holiday watch list!
