Godmothered is a delightful family movie and a worthy successor to Enchanted, told from the perspective of the iconic fairy godmother.

Jillian Bell is amazing as Eleanor, the go get em fairy godmother who doesn't take no for an answer. The lessons of the film are beautiful... Fix your own problems and find your own form of true love. We had tons of fun watching this as a family.… Expand

Pretty similar to "Elf" just not as charming. With that being said, it's funny (at times), wholesome and a movie you can watch during the holidays.

"Why is a fairy godmother sleeping on a stack of mattresses like the Princess & the Pea?" It's questions like this that will routinely pop up while viewing this Disney movie and this is due to the fact that when it comes to fantasy world-building Godmothered is more about easy and quick referential humor than it is about making a lick of sense. When watching this movie we are not expected ask such questions as "Why are the fairy godmothers unaware of the advances of technology?" or "How exactly does one apply to be a fairy godmother?" unfortunately, that kind of questioning bombarded me throughout this movie's interminable two-hour running time. Isla Fisher was fine as the jaded woman who never got her "Happily Ever After" but the writers never really gave her anything more the a bunch of tired "working woman" cliches.

On the plus side, Gary the house-working racoon was quite fun and the subplot of the eldest daughter's performance anxiety was rather sweet and not all the fish-out-of-water gags failed, sadly, the potential to be more was there it just wasn't utilized all that well.

Overall, Godmothered could have been a fun satirically look at fairy tales but the script was more tired than inspired. For a better take on "fantasy meets reality" watch the Amy Adams film Enchanted instead.… Expand

There could be many reason to pick apart this movie or any movie for that matter but the light hearted nature and message is exactly what was needed. Gary will always have my heart! Got me through a tough holiday season!
