Godmothered

Godmothered (2020) is a Disney+ family fantasy comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Eleanor, a trainee fairy godmother, learns her whole craft may be shut down for good, so she slips out of godmother school to prove magic still matters.

She digs up an old letter begging for help, signed by a little girl named Mackenzie. The trouble is the letter is decades old, and Mackenzie is all grown up. She's a tired Boston widow raising two daughters, grinding away at a local TV station, with zero patience for fairy tales. Eleanor crashes into her life waving a wand that misfires constantly, determined to deliver a Prince Charming. What this woman actually needs is nothing of the sort. Jillian Bell and Isla Fisher carry the odd couple through a chaotic run-up to Christmas.

Director Sharon Maguire, of Bridget Jones's Diary, flips the Disney formula on its head: happily-ever-after here is something you build, not something a prince hands you. Easy, warm holiday viewing for the whole family. Stream Godmothered (2020) online on iFILM.
