This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Godmothered is a mediocre film. It deals with a lot of themes that kids would find boring, but also deals with comedy and themes that adults would find boring. So who is this movie for? It's hard to say.

The film starts out poorly. Most of the comedy is just "fish out of water does silly thing". The dialog isn't clever or good, the jokes aren't funny, and the main character Eleanor is annoying. When we meet Mackenzie, the more adult themes come into play. She is syndical and never happy, which is the opposite of Eleanor who is too happy. This clash in personality could have worked but the writing wasn't good enough for it to happen.

The middle of the film, when Eleanor starts using more magic to help Mackenzie and her family, is the enjoyable part. But it doesn't make up for the flaws with the ending. The end is a cheesy message about how love can be different and not just a princess and a prince. Fine message, but executed poorly.

The acting is mediocre, the cgi is bad, there's not much character development and what is there isn't really earned and almost comes out of nowhere, as if it happens only because the movie needs it to. In the end Mackenzie's romance goes nowhere, making you wonder why it was even part of the movie. (It was only there for the anti "fairytale ending" ending). We then get lectured on how the "old fashioned" way is bad and we need to change. In short, this movie is not funny, boring, and anti fairytale. Nothing I want from Disney or any movie really. I don't like Disney's recent trend of hating on their old work and roots. Enchanted handled this better. Plus the animated sequence from this film was done poorly, please just hire someone who can animate.… Expand
