Godmothered Reviews
A funny, well-intentioned family-fantasy film that’s a bright light in a dark year.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 9, 2022
If you’ve seen “Elf” you know exactly where this story goes almost beat for beat.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 21, 2022
Jillian Bell is a brilliant comic actress, and she certainly deserves to lead more features, but 'Godmothered' is limp, watered-down over-branded self awareness from the least edgy studio.

It's got your family film staples... in the end, Godmothered is as sweet film about how happiness is the most powerful fairy tale of them all.

Oozing with cuteness, Godmothered works best when it's doing its fish-out-of-water thing.
| Original Score: 2.5 | Feb 14, 2021
This year has served up nightmare after nightmare with alarming consistency, and this film is a pretty good 100-odd minute escape into a world that is far more agreeable than the one we have right now.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 28, 2021
Godmothered is the very definition of an inoffensive film, never particularly surprising or amazing you but delivering decent laughs and charm nonetheless.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 15, 2021
A barely OK feel-good movie that tries to be Elf, but it could have been called "Disney+: The Movie." [Full Review in Spanish]

Think of it as a Hallmark holiday movie for kids, and I mean kids, like your pre-teens, or your teens that have to watch your pre-teens while you make more eggnog.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 26, 2020
Centering on the love and reliability of family sets Godmothered apart from the typical fairy tale.
| Dec 21, 2020
The film is enjoyable for what it is and builds toward a thoughtful message at the end that brings everything (and everyone) together in a way that makes sense for both characters.

Jillian Bell is the only reason to watch this film.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 15, 2020
A lovely heir to 'Enchanted' but lacking its charm. [Full Review in Spanish]

While this Disney+ offering never quite achieves its comic potential, "Godmothered" is a warm and entertaining lark.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 11, 2020
Jillian Bell and Isla Fisher shine in a fairytale of a very different kind.
| Dec 10, 2020
While Godmothered has its clunky or overplayed moments, it's a truly sweet film with a big heart that finds the magic in everyday life.
| Dec 10, 2020
Godmothered is not earth-shattering or genre bending or particularly innovative. But it's rock solid fun.
| Dec 10, 2020
Contemporary twist on fairy tale has mild language.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 9, 2020
Godmothered is a Nilla wafer of a movie, one that goes down easy and is gentle enough for even the most sensitive constitutions...audiences can expect something cute, vaguely charming and completely forgettable.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 9, 2020
While no one will accuse Godmothered of being a perfect film, but the charm and wit win you over, thanks to a brilliant turn by Jillian Bell.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 9, 2020
