Godmothered ตำนานนางฟ้าแม่ทูนหัว (2020) [พากย์ไทย บรรยายไทย]

A fun if a little tired "fantasy meets reality" tale.
"Why is a fairy godmother sleeping on a stack of mattresses like the Princess & the Pea?" It's questions like this that will routinely pop up while viewing this Disney movie and this is due to the fact that when it comes to fantasy world-building Godmothered is more about easy and quick referential humor than it is about making a lick of sense. When watching this movie we are not expected ask such questions as "Why are the fairy godmothers unaware of the advances of technology?" or "How exactly does one apply to be a fairy godmother?" unfortunately, that kind of questioning bombarded me throughout this movie's interminable two-hour running time. Isla Fisher was fine as the jaded woman who never got her "Happily Ever After" but the writers never really gave her anything more the a bunch of tired "working woman" cliches.





 

On the plus side, Gary the house-working racoon was quite fun and the subplot of the eldest daughter's performance anxiety was rather sweet and not all the fish-out-of-water gags failed, sadly, the potential to be more was there it just wasn't utilized all that well.

Overall, Godmothered could have been a fun satirically look at fairy tales but the script was more tired than inspired. For a better take on "fantasy meets reality" watch the Amy Adams film Enchanted instead.
