Fada Madrinha

Cute, fun, wholesome, and heartwarming. Great holiday movie for the kids and the whole family.

As a dad of two daughters, I'm really enjoying this recent crop of films that are starting to encourage young children, especially girls, to think outside the Happily Ever After Disney Princess box. Life isn't perfect, but that doesn't mean it can't be good.

All of the characters are well cast as you'd expect from a Disney offering, and the chemistry between the main protagonists is excellent. Yes, it's sugary sweet, but not sickly. Yes it's predictable for grown ups, but the different take on the genre is refreshing in spite of the customary happy ending. It just might not be happy in the way you'd expect! ;)

6/10 - much like last year's Noelle, this holiday-themed Disney+ offering squanders its casts' immense talents with a half baked story and script

This was an interesting idea about the modern take on happily ever after but that last 10 minutes was torturous to watch... If you do a good job of storytelling, there is no need for preaching

I'm so sick of critics not liking movies that just plain make you feel good and smile! What's so wrong with that??! I thought this movie was adorable and brought a smile to my face for most of the movie! Watch it, you'll surely leave it feeling better than you did.
