Godmothered

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

Cute, fun, wholesome, and heartwarming. Great holiday movie for the kids and the whole family.

"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.

6/10 - much like last year's Noelle, this holiday-themed Disney+ offering squanders its casts' immense talents with a half baked story and script

As a dad of two daughters, I'm really enjoying this recent crop of films that are starting to encourage young children, especially girls, to think outside the Happily Ever After Disney Princess box. Life isn't perfect, but that doesn't mean it can't be good.

All of the characters are well cast as you'd expect from a Disney offering, and the chemistry between the main protagonists is excellent. Yes, it's sugary sweet, but not sickly. Yes it's predictable for grown ups, but the different take on the genre is refreshing in spite of the customary happy ending. It just might not be happy in the way you'd expect! ;)
