Pretty Good

Memorable, crazy movie

Did you people see the same film I saw?

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

The third movie in The Good Witch film series is quite possibly the best one so far. It's set around Christmas time which makes everything seem all the more magical and then add in a wedding. It's incredibly exciting to finally see Cassie and Jake coming together in holy matrimony and the beginnings of their new little family.There are of course the usual challenges this time in the form of poor time management and a bank robber. It adds another emotional layer to the film and makes you root for their success. Nobody wants to see anybody fail around Christmas and you can't help but hope for a special Christmas miracle. I don't care how many clichés they squeeze into these movies as I just can't get enough of their feel good optimism.

As long as folks do NOT get involved in witchcraft as a result of this movie......and can see ONLY the goodness of "Cassie's" gestures...that are inspirational for all of us to be good and do good WITHOUT witchcraft...then I think this movie is more than entertaining...It is remarkably unique with a great purpose!Catherine Bell was casted PERFECTLY! She has the look of beautiful mystery and exuded a delightful charm as the very likable "Cassie,"...who only has intentions of doing good for others. And so she does. No matter what predicament, "Cassie" remains amazingly calm and optimistic. Totally disregards negative issues as being a dreadful challenge and to be upset about them...but instead, puts her energy into making them work out for the best. She sees the good in everyone with whom she comes in contact...and brings out their best. She is forgiving when applicable. She is very giving and caring.So glad a series was made...with each movie being just as enjoyable!

It's Christmastime in Middleton and Cassie Nightingale (Catherine Bell) is preparing for her Christmas Eve wedding to Chief Russell (Chris Potter). But she still finds time to help her loved ones with their problems, as well as help former nemesis Martha Tinsdale (Catherine Disher) start a new career and help an ex-con get a fresh start. Another highly enjoyable Good Witch TV movie; the third in the series. This one has a seasonal theme, which is great for me as I'm a sucker for anything Christmas. The cast is likable and fun, as they were in the two movies prior to this. Catherine Disher is a treat to watch. If you liked the first two movies, I see no reason you won't like this one.

IMO a fine light family movie. Of course everything is pretty much entirely predictable, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with that at all, given the character of the movie. Cassie weaves her usual magic, and it is plainly telegraphed, yet quite enjoyable as it all unfolds. We had smiles on our faces throughout the entire movie - so nothing wrong with that! The theme of the movie is 2nd chances, and it is woven into virtually every single character in the movie. Actually, when I think about it, the ensemble is a pretty good size, and yet they managed a better focus on a diversity of characters and situations, without losing either the theme or plot in the process, then many a big screen, big budget movie.Cassie is of course, her usual magical self. At this point at least some of the characters are "suspicious" in a good way, that she is "unusual" but its deftly weaved as subtle backdrop of the movie rather then a principal portion of the movie. Jake of course is still pretty clueless.It was like watching an episode of The Border again with both Catherine Disher and Graham Abby having principal parts in the movie. I was surprised that Graham did not have a co-starring bill given his prominence in the movie and plot lines. I hope he gets a meaty role on a big US network production some day and gets the recognition he deserves.Also was fabulous to see Laura Bertram - I have not seen her since Andromeda (I take that back - I did see her in Gunless) - again she had a good sized role and I hope we see more of her in the future. Lovely woman.Catherine Bell looks her usual amazing self. She captivates with those eyes, and I think she could probably do 10 movies in this series and the Hallmark audience would eat them up. Its a great gig on the side to her Army Wives series.So if you are a romantic at heart, this is a movie for you, and there will be no regrets.
