Okay, gotta admit I liked the trailer for this and was actually excited for it. But that changed very quickly as I found myself checking my phone before I hit the ten minute mark. And I decided to bare with it. However, I'm honestly curious on who wrote the screenplay, I've seen funnier dialogs on walls covered with graffiti. By the half-way marked I had completely checked out. The "jokes" fell flat and the story is slugish. The story is about Eleanor an apprentice who's dream is to become a godmother and help someone in need. And honestly the trailers made this out to be a light-hearted film, with little to no humor. Which would been so much better. But this is a comedy(I think). As there is a joke before you even hit the first minute mark. I'm curious on who the demo for this film is aimed at, because I can't imagine a kid enjoying this, it's not entertaining. I'm really disappointed mainly because I love Isla Fisher. Such an underratted actress. And with Disney behind the production I knew it would have a budget. Apparently, money can't buy quality writers, here's the proof.
I wish the film didn't rely so much on humor, if it focused on it's story and world building, this could have been a light hearted film, heck I would have taken a cheesy rom-com over this. At least most of those films don't take themselves seriously.
