The Good Witch's Gift (2010)

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

There was something really magical, warm and supernatural about this film. The ex convict was released from prison after serving 10 years, while plans for Christmas and a wedding are all happening. It seemed things couldn't get sticky and messier. But as if by pure sorcery, everything came together and it was so heart warming and moving. I really loved this movie and it's probably the best out of the first three.

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.

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.

Another cute movie by Hallmark. Perfect for the holiday's!! Although predictable, they should make more of these light hearted movies. They are just perfect for any age. Catherine is so sweet at Cassandra Nightingale. Maybe not an award-winning movie but just right for watching with the family during the Christmas season!! Can't wait to see what they have for us next year!!My question is, where the heck can I get my hands on any of the sweaters Catherine Bell is wearing in this movie? They are fantastic!! There isn't any information available on the wardrobe used in this movie. Is this available anywhere?
