Young viewers may also connect with two children who are struggling in the wake of their father’s death. All of which get thrown into question in a lighthearted way that’s meant to show kids that true love can come in many different forms and that happy endings aren’t only about a man and a woman getting married. What will stick is Eleanor’s sweetness and humor and her total belief in fairy-tale concepts such as princes, princesses, castles, carriages, magic, love and happy endings. Same goes for the movie’s subtext about fearmongering and trivialization in the news business, which is played for humor. Glimpses of more adult humor - shots at a bar pool table, a euphemism for sex and a misunderstanding about sharing “needles” in an alleyway - will likely fly over younger viewers’ heads. In this case, the story is told from the perspective of a slightly bumbling fairy-godmother-in-training named Eleanor (Jillian Bell). “ Godmothered” is a contemporary twist on the traditional Cinderella tale.
