Instead of getting her wish fulfilled right away, however, she and Short end up diverted by an evil witch (Kathleen Turner). Special effects take over once Turner's character starts casting spells. But director Michael Ritchie--a long, long way from his prime (Downhill Racer, The Candidate) as an interesting filmmaker--keeps things moving quickly and gets some good work (albeit slanted toward kids) from his very talented cast. Some of the "magic" in the film--such as the sight of Short flattened and pouring down a set of stairs like liquid--is truly eye-popping. The DVD release has a widescreen presentation, Spanish subtitles, English captions, production notes, and theatrical trailer. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating: - Fun fantasyI love the story line of this movie - a male Fairy Godmother! What fun. And Kathleen Turner as the 'wicked witch'. What a fairy tale concept. Rating:  - Absolutly FabulousA Simple Wish I watched this movie as a kid when it just came out on disney channel. Recently, i remembered that i really liked it back then. So i ordered it on amazon. EVERY bit as good as i remember it!! Funny, kindhearted, GREAT to watch with the kids. Not that i have any, i'm just saying. Martin Short teams up with Mara Wilson, and their relationship [that of kid and fairy godmother] is amusing to follow. Kathleen Turner plays the role of the evil witch excellently, and can be a bit frightening ... Read More Rating: - A little of everythingThe plot and cinematography of this film were above average, while other aspects were a little lackluster. The storyline was well written, and the casting was on target, however the mixture of computer graphics took plenty away from the film and cheapened it quite a bit. Quite dissapointing. You do get to see Martin Short in a most unusual role, and I'd consider this a must-see for any admirer of his antics. Robert Pastorelli (the crazed painter from Murphy Brown) plays a rather lackluster role. ... Read More Rating: - Fractured Fairy TaleWhat a clever fractured fairy tale. This movie has one of the best opening scenes - The Fairy Godmother Final Exams, where Martin Short, a mediocre student, is attempting to cheat,copying from the little old blue-haired ladies in his class. Very funny & sophisticated, appeals to children and adults. Rating: - A Simply Magical MovieThis 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 ...
