Once you notice how much this story unfolds with characters just standing around and talking, you cant unsee it.

That doesnt mean that its talent doesnt try to rustle up some wonder, somehow making the entire affair still more depressing.

Rather than being interesting, creative, or even charming, the movie is instead a generic mess...
Cinema Blend

Godmothered is a campy and heartfelt family friendly Christmas flick, but ends up feeling like an adult rom com shoehorned into a kids movie.
Screen Rant

Think of Disneys own, much more engaging Enchanted meets Mary Poppins (or, more accurately, Mary Poppins Returns).

Do we need another movie about a nave being from a fantastical realm who, for one reason or another, lands on Earth to teach us lessons Nope.

Like Frozen and Maleficent before it, Godmothered argues that true love doesnt have to be romantic.

Of course, Mackenzie no longer believes in magic and doesnt have any need for a fairy godmother.
Geeks Of Color

Godmothered is cutesy, cheesy, predictable, and uninspired but it has a few good moments and a pretty good soundtrack.

The overall lesson of Godmothered is that true love doesnt always look like a fairytale there are many different forms it can take.
Mama's Geeky

Godmothered isnt destined to become Disneys next Christmas classic, but its worth taking a flyer on if youre looking for a feel good holiday flick.

Curtin doesnt get to do much but be authoritarian and wear elaborate gowns, but thats honestly enough to make her time on screen welcome.

Its not reinventing the wheel, but GODMOTHERED is cute. Jillian Bell provides much needed life to a script bogged down by forced plot points.
