A Simple Wish

Summary: Make a wish!
Review: 'A Simple Wish' is a cute, fun family film. It's about a young girl named Annabel (Mara Wilson) who wishes for a fairy godmother. Her brother thinks there are no such things as fairygodmothers. Well, Annabel's wish comes half true. Instead of getting a fairygodmother, she gets a fairygodfather, instead! Anyway, soon they meet an evil fairygodmother who they try to destroy. It's very fun and really cute. I saw it on TV and it was very good. All the actors in this film give great performances, and the script is pretty good, too. I definitely recommend this film for families everywhere!

Summary: Becareful What You Wish For
Review: Anabelle made a wish to have a fairy godmother. But her older brother can be such a jerk sometimes. He says that there is no such things as fairy godmothers. But Anabelle proves him wrong. Because her wish does come true--only not the way she wished it would be. Maury, her fairy godmother--er--whatever you would call him, comes at her request. But each time Anabelle makes a wish, Maury makes a mess. All hope seems lost as their father turns into a statue and the spell must be broken at the stroke of midnight or else their father will remain a statue forever. There is so much more than a simple wish. But you know what they say, be careful what you wish for. You might just get it!

Summary: A ironic fairytale
Review: Mara Wilson is back from playing her chartacters in Mrs. Doubtfire and has turned into a fairy godmother believer! When, ironicly she gets a boy fairy godmother (played by Martin Short). She needs a wish, her dad has been wanting to be in a show all his life and he has had an audition! All his daughter needs to do now is wish, wish, wish on it and maybe maybe it will come true. Are you a believer? I actually bought this video and I was kind of disappointed in some bits. I still watch it regulary though, it is a funny and fun flick to watch.

Review: This is a really great family movie. I recommend it for anyone to watch. It is really cute and the music is really great throughout the film. I just wish that they would make a soundtrack of the whole songs. I would certainly buy that. It is a must see.

Summary: Good
Review: This movie was just good, but why would Martin Short be playing a fairy godmother; he should play a Fairy Godfather. So, I give it 4 1/2 stars, because wouldn't a person not breathe in metal.

Summary: A Simply Magical Movie
Review: This movie was out about a year before my parents finally bought it for me. I simply wanted it because I thought the cover was cool. But when I watched it, I loved it, and I made all my friends watch it when they came over.
The story is about Annabel, played by Mara Wilson, the girl from "Mrs. Doubtfire" and "Matilda." While she is reading a version of "Cinderella" one night, she wishes that she could have a fairy godmother. And she gets one. Except her fairy godmother isn't what she had in mind, because she is actually a man named Murray, played by the hilarious Martin Short.
Murray promises to grant Annabel one wish, and she selflessly decides that she wants her father, a widower, to land the main role in a musical play. But it isn't that 'simple.'
For one thing, Murray has never been a fairy godmother before, and he has a mentionable amount of difficulty with his magic wand. For instance, he accidently takes Annabel to Nebraska and changes a rough-looking man into a gigantic rabbi.
The second thing standing in the way of a granted wish is Claudia, the fairy-godmother-turned-evil-witch played by Kathleen Turner. The witch and her hilarious sidekick are bent on destoying the existence of any other magic than Claudia's to ensure that nothing stands in her way when she decides to carry out some rather evil plans.
The movie is extremely funny, and has lots of great special effects. It is almost impossible to smile as you watch Murray screw up on everything he attempts to do and Annabel bicker with her older brother and her reactions to Murray's awfully-cast spells. So great is the presence of comedy, wittiness, and evil in Kathleen Turner's character that you look forward to the scenes she's in. And so you end up laughing through the movie, marveling at the spell-casting scenes, and silently cheering as the movie proves yet again that good conquers evil. AND throw in an interesting cameo from Terri Garr, one of the supporting actresses in "Tootsie," and you have every bit of a five-star fantasy that's perfect for the whole family.
