Though Disney generated, this re-envisioned fantasy doesn't have the magical accoutrements of a Disney showboat. The film is a little too threadbare, politically correct and matter-of-fact for that.

It's an unreal world where Fairy Godmothers have their own Instruction manuals and training institution but the perspective is more realistic because a new trainee Jillian Bell's Eleanor, the youngest, earnest and rather inept one in the died-in-the-wool group, is earnestly hoping to change the world into a happily-ever-after even though her decadent peers have already given up on keeping alive that fantasy.
