Godmothered

"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.

It is exactly what you think it is. A cute little Disney ditty that ends happily. Sweet movie, well acted. Not rocket science just. good time.

For sure this was going to be a bit of a challenge for the actors to get right. They are going to be working overtime to convince us to suspend belief. Well, it wasn't perfect, but honestly I thought they did a pretty decent job. I've seen far worse acting in billion dollar franchise films that for some reason nobody can grow a pair and point out in their reviews.

Jillian Bell was so fun to watch and without that the film just wouldn't have worked at all. I'm not saying the others don't matter, but since she is the focal point a certain energy level is required.

About the only fault I have with the film is the speed at which everyone is on board with what is going on. I think they should have provided a tiny bit more exposition in that area.

So sit back and let this warm your cockles. Unless you don't have a heart in which case go watch Star Wars or some MCU film instead.

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

I'm so sick of critics not liking movies that just plain make you feel good and smile! What's so wrong with that??! I thought this movie was adorable and brought a smile to my face for most of the movie! Watch it, you'll surely leave it feeling better than you did.
