Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

nightroses I think this movie has rekindled the magic from the earlier films. It's included the spooky Grey House which was absent in the last two films. A shame there's no sign of Isis the cat. Grace is now a toddler and it's approaching Cassie's birthday that approaches Halloween. Things go wrong for her when her magical advice backfires, and she gets blamed. It turns out that the Grey Lady painting fell all on its own and a tear appeared on the painting. Cassie's ancestor was lonely but feared for her life as her birthday approached, which happened to be on the same date as Cassie's birthday and also the same time that the Grey Lady disappeared. Cassie's shop mysteriously catches fire, and grandpa is learning magic. His girlfriend's son is a magician who's fiance went off after he became financially broke. Martha's shop stinks because of a sewage leak next door but she used three cones instead of one that Cassie told her to use. Things all worked itself out but I can' help but wonder if Cassie is really the Grey Lady from 100 years ago. Quite enjoyable and sparkly, if not slow in places.

Platypuschow When I watched the first Good Witch movie I was impressed. It was soppy and it was standard Hallmark channel affairs but it as sweet and certainly had its merits.Gradually I worked my way through the sequels only to find the quality dipping.Here we are on the 6th film and for the first time I have to say this was pretty bad.Full of detestable character, questionable writing and a side story that was just awful.Ontop of that maybe the sickly sweet charm of the franchise is getting old. Everything has a shelf life and I feel the Good Witch has gone stale.The Good: Still has a fraction of the original charm left The Bad:Cassies speaking in riddles is getting really old Poor writing Awful characters this time around Things I Learnt From This Movie: A guy can threaten to make the protagonist disappear and wish them ill and still be made out to be a good guy Everyone in Middleton is a ruddy drama queen A friend trying to ruin your business will still be considered a friend If you stand in front of a mirror and say Cassie 3 times she'll appear and give you life advice

Neil Welch Cassandra is a kind of good natured witch with gentle powers, the second wife of the local police chief in small town America, and much beloved of his children. She is given to doing small things to make things better for people, but suddenly everything starts going wrong, and she starts getting blamed. Factor in a young man called Drew who particularly blames her for losing his business and fiancée, and backs this with threats which coincide with the dates when things happened to Cassandra's predecessor under a curse, and the recipe is set for niceness with mild jeopardy.I was at home feeling unwell, so I watched this. I had not watched - or even heard of - the five previous movies or the subsequent one, so I had no preconceptions. And I didn't catch the word "Hallmark", so I had no warning. But I quite like Catherine Bell despite her now distinctly peculiar top lip, so I thought I would give it a go.Apart from the annoying fat shopkeeper lady, and unpleasant Drew (who miraculously completely changes his character at the end of the film), everybody is nice. Horribly, sickeningly nice. So nice that they practically have treacle oozing out of every pore. And Cassandra herself is annoyingly given to speaking to people in inspirational epithets. Just like the sort of thing you might find in Hallmark cards, in fact. Oh, wait...Well, normally I'm not too demanding if I'm crashed on the sofa feeling poorly, but I must be on the mend because I found this to be unbearably glutinous.

boblipton Cassie Nightingale, the Good Witch of Middleton, is having some troubles. As her birthday approaches, her knack for having things fall her way collapses, events around her and her family go poorly and portents of doom surround her in this, the sixth annual "Good Witch" movie on the Hallmark Channel.This movie shows a definite improvement in the script department over the last few episodes. People have to struggle and worry a bit. The real pleasure remains watching Catherine Bell play the role of Cassie in a perky manner, struggling a bit with issues beyond her control. Other characters have real issues, as her step-daughter finds that college is not as easy as she had expected, her step-son finds young love despite her husband's worried disapproval and her father-in-law's wife has to deal with a wayward son who accepts no responsibility for his failures.It all falls Cassie's way in the end, but there is a real sense of tension in this movie. Fans of the series will be very pleased.
