Shadow and Bone (2021)
Meh
I can see the direction the creators of this show wanted to take it in, deep into the Game of Thrones realm. It has tried far too hard to be exactly like the biggest fantasy series of the last decade. The cast is blah, not one of them really stands out. The storyline isn't much better and the only thing the show has going for it are the costumes and sets.
Furthermore, there are too many scenes where you simply can't see anything that is happening on screen. It's pitch black.
If you're 13 and a huge fan of the books, you might enjoy the series. Otherwise, don't bother.
Godmothered (2020)
Lacks magic
Disney could have done so much more with Godmothered. Unfortunately, it lacked in every department. It wasn't funny, (I didn't laugh once) it wasn't cute, the characters were very unlikeable and the dialogue is very clunky. It's hard to believe the same people who created Bridget Jones were behind this atrocious movie.
Every interaction between Mackenzie and Hugh is beyond awkward yet Disney wants us to believe they're flirting with each other. (On what planet, exactly?) On top of that, Hugh's accent (played by hunky Santiago Cabrera, though his handsomeness is nowhere to be found in this movie) is all over the place and just plain awful. Where is he supposed to be from?
The best characters in this movie are Gary and the pig, hence the two points. Other than that? Don't bother, watch Enchanted again if you are looking for some good ol' fashioned Disney magic because you won't find it here.
