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.

| Sep 13, 2021

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.

| Sep 2, 2021

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]

| Dec 29, 2020

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.

| Dec 15, 2020

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]

| Dec 11, 2020

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
