What middle school girl wouldn’t want her own fairy
godmother to help charm the young man of her dreams
into a new romance? When love-struck Stella discovers
her own “Prince Charming” is being pursued by the
most devious diva on the block, Stella yearns for a fairy
godmother of her own. But her wish signals get crossed
with the vibes from a dusty old jukebox, landing her
instead with the Godfather of Soul – Mr. James Brown
himself! Accompanied by a classic Motown/R&B musical
score and a trio of fancy-footed “Step” Sisters – the
Godfather tries his best to grant Stella’s wish, but his
matchmaking skills leave much to be desired. Not to
worry ... help is on the way when the Queen of Soul
steps in to command some R-E-S-P-E-C-T and set the
young couple on a path to happy ever after.
