DESCRIPTION: 

Set at Christmas time, “Godmothered” is a comedy about Eleanor, a young,

inexperienced fairy godmother-in-training (Jillian Bell) who upon hearing that 

her chosen profession is facing extinction, decides to show the world that

people still need fairy godmothers. 

TRANSCRIPT: 

This is Eleanor. The motherland's youngest trainee. All she wanted was to be 

a real fairy godmother. Recite it with me, please. A glittery gown turns out to 

prom upside down. I know that I can do this. I’m gonna prove that people still 

need fairy godmothers. I'm looking for Mackenzie Walsh. Let's see what we 

can find. Siri, search Mackenzie Walsh. Okay. Here's what I found? 

Who said that? Is there a genie in there? Don't answer that. I'm looking for 

a sad little girl named Mackenzie Walsh. That is me. No, it can't be you, 

you're old. Have you seen yourself? Security. Me again. I'm your fairy

godmother. Back off lady. Morning. Oh good! You're awake, too. Is this your

true love? Not anymore. Life isn't always a fairy tale. I came all this way to 

help you find your heart's desire. You know what you need, a makeover. 

What have you done to my eyebrows. Magic! My house. I know right. 

You turn my dog into a pig. This bell got away from me. Oh, it's okay. 

He's just here to help with the housework. I know you want to help but life

isn't as simple as happily ever after. Fine, after all nine out of ten fairy tales

begin with once upon a time something amazing happened while she was 

drinking wine in her sweatpants. I've been trapped in the fairy tale when the

real world is full of so much more. You're starting to believe in magic,

aren't you? Are you sure I can't make you a ball gown before I go? 

Okay please wait. No please. Oh no! What the… Nice dress! Is it new?

Don't be mad. Don't be mad.
