Nonureva Really Surprised!

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Platypuschow The Good Witch's saving grace was it's charm, sadly it seems to have worn thin.The Hallmark novelty seems to have waned as this 5th movie simply doesn't have "It" Thats not to say this is bad, it's just so generic and so predictable that it felt like I'd seen it already.When the franchise began I was thoroughly onboard but now, now I'm bored so very very bored.The Good: Still sweet in that sickly way The Bad: Seen it all beforeThings I Learnt From This Movie: Leaving babies alone outdoors is absolutely fine and supported by mothers worldwide If someone drags your families name through the dirt and damages their lives your first response should be to sleep with them

utgard14 The fifth Good Witch movie has Cassie, now the mayor of Middleton, dealing with a crime wave as well as taking care of her new baby. She finds time to dish out advice and (possibly magic) help to her friends and family. Grandpa George is back, which is nice. He was missed in the last one. Brandon is mostly absent this time, save for a few brief appearances to let us know he's at school. The formula of the series is intact with two outsiders coming to town and causing problems for our heroine before the wise-beyond-her-years Cassie sets them on the right path. One is a reporter with no ethics (an oxymoron, I know) and the other is Cassie's foster mother, who looks a little like Veronica Cartwright. The foster mother's speech about how Cassie raised Lori is odd considering the girl was (almost?) a teen before Cassie married her dad and, earlier in this very movie, Cassie had praised Lori's birth mother as having done a good job raising her. Fun sequel in a fun series. Martha is particularly entertaining this time around.

Luvhallmark The first 3 movies were by far the best, they captured a magical whimsical kind of feeling that 4 and 5 just cannot match. The Good Witch's Charm, in my opinion, was the least enjoyable of all. I thought the script was awful...very silly plot line. I missed seeing grandpa George in the last movie and was very happy when I saw his name in the opening credits but they made him out to be kind of a miserable old man, especially when he tells Gwen he does not want to go on vacation...he just says it and then storms out of the garage! I wish they would have given him a better story line than just "feeling old and useless". My biggest issue is.....where the heck is Grey house and why isn't the family living in it..that's where the magic happens, it was a beautiful house in the first 2 movies, I just do not understand why they couldn't keep it in the movie, very very disappointing and Cassie's Bell Book and Candle Shop....the same thing, it was very magical/mysterious in the first movie, the colors were deeper, darker and richer, the shop set they used for this movie does not cut it. I was so looking forward to this next installment but for me, it was a huge let down. I found myself checking my phone for status updates and various other things. This movie was boring. I like Martha's role a lot, she's really funny and I enjoy watching her. To me....the magic is gone:( Sorry.

boblipton Catherine Bell returns as Cassie Nightingale in the fifth Hallmark TV movie in the series that began with 2008's THE GOOD WITCH. Each has premiered in time for Halloween and, as I write, the sixth is slated in for 2013. Catherine Bell continues to play her in a charming, low-key manner as someone who never does anything clearly magical, even if Chris Potter, playing her husband, can go to the baby's room and find his wife already in the kitchen with their child.The small, workaday problems continue as her foster mother shows up in town and an Internet newsman follows up a story which shows Cassie as a confidence artist. Her stepdaughter is trying to fit in with the cool kids at school, her husband is overworked by a crime wave, her father-in-law is feeling old and useless -- well, ordinary problems like those. Miss Bell smiles her way through the issues and by the end of the movie everything is sorted out. The actors are all more than competent, but are not aided by a script in which plot points are over-explained; the father-in-law is told that a man who has just died was his best friend.Miss Bell continues to carry the series and this one is a pleasant time-waster. However, it would be nice if she got some help from the script writer.
