For the most part, this was a cute movie. I liked the fairy godmother's attempts at trying to bring Isla Fisher's character happiness in one way, without realizing that she was becoming happier in another. It's a good message, though extremely predictable - at this point, trying to encourage the breaking of old tropes is becoming a new trope on its own. I would've preferred something more original, but as long as my intelligence isn't being insulted, it's okay.
Then, the movie had to stop in its tracks and explain to us what true love is, while simultaneously claiming that it shouldn't be told but shown. That is lazy writing. I mean, the movie wasn't subtle before, but it didn't just outright preach to us either. I can't believe I'm saying this, but "Frozen" did the true love with a twist bit better.
