Description

When Anabel (Mara Wilson) wished for a fairy-godmother, she never dreamed his name would be Murray (Martin Short)! Before you can say "SHABOOM," Anabel quickly learns that Murray is short on experience and long on excuses. As they are whisked into a hilarious whirlwind of magical mishaps, Anabel and the blundering Murray have until midnight to rescue her dad, battle a wicked witch (Kathleen Turner) and recover stolen magic wands to restore the world to a place where wishes really can come true.

    So many good memories watching this movie with my daughter (over and over) when she was a young girl. So funny and entertaining to watch. We both still love this film. Martin Short is awesome and so is the rest of the cast.
  • Finally it's here!

    For some unknown reason, no one has ever heard of this movie and it is almost impossible to find. When I was younger I sent iTunes a bunch of e-mails to please get this movie and it's finally here! This movie is horribly underrated, it is very funny. I used to watch it all the time and so did my mom and she loved it. If you love sarcastic humor, or in your face humor, then watch this movie. Martin Short is amazing as Murrary the fairygodmother, and Kathleen Turner makes a wonderful villian before her voice went even deeper. Just watch the opening scene and if you are already laughing as Martin Short is taking the fairy bar exam, then you'll love the rest! Thank you iTunes!
