Undescribable Perfection

A Masterpiece!

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

The film is a TV movie by Hallmark, which is kind of clean and picturesque, with some very easy to follow storylines and plot. The characters are all quite sweet as pie, except for the school bully's dad. Cassie Nightingale is the new owner of a very grim looking rundown haunted house, but on the inside, it looks so pleasant and warm. She knows about magic, and helps people. The wife of the mayor is jealous and has it in for Cassey and will do whatever it takes to run her out of town. I enjoyed this movie and the wafts of gingerbread, cinnamon and jasmine that comes off it. I admit its the first time I've seen this movie. Also its the first of a series of Good Witch films, that later was followed by the TV series.

First of all, Catherine Bell's beauty will grab you from the start. The storyline is good, the cast was very well selected. I liked the movie- especially since they don't really ever show if this beautiful woman is, in fact, a witch or if she's just very intuitive. Does she simply understand humans and human nature VERY well or is she a witch? Is she just one of those "animal people" or does her witch powers allow her to communicate with the fur people? I enjoyed the story and thought the acting was excellent. Keep in mind, this is a holiday film- not intended to be a major Holleywood release. This film is not intended to be a competitor for the Oscars for Best Film or anything like that. With that clearly in mind, you have to really enjoy it for what it is.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie,& somewhat expect it's a pilot for a regular series.If not,I hope the producers will consider making one, or possibly make other movies with the characters.Another idea might be have Cassandra be a roving witch,going from one place to another helping locals out.Catherine Bell was top-notch in the role, as were all the others.In many ways,this movie was a composite of BEWITCHED & THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW, although without the special effects of the former classic series.It may not ever be the classic series either became,but still,I hope the networks,broadcast & cable,& the stars & producers will consider a series if they haven't already.

A feel good movie, Catherine Bell play a mysterious woman that come to town, and moves into the Old House of the Grey Lady. Her interactions with the townsfolk causes some of them to think she's a witch.Her character fixes up the old house and opens up a shop that sales knickknacks, potions and charms, the city counsel wants to run her out of town. The mayor's wife is the main one that wants to close her down. She finds romance with the Sheriff, and the story end with the question is she a witch or not, you decide. Catherine Bell brings a great performance to her character. She bring a new degree to the characters she can play. I can't wait for more movies and TV from Catherine Bell.
