This is such a lovely family movie. It has everything you need for a warm tale about love kindness and all things magical. It makes you want to be a better person and be more open and accepting towards all others. I know sappy right...but who doesn't love a sappy clichéd movie.I originally thought this movie would be kind of like Sabrina the Teenage Witch with lots of magical power, potions and spells but instead they have gone down the pathway of inner magic that everybody has the ability to possess. It's nice. Not what I was expecting but it does let your imagine run wild with the possibilities.If your looking for something to watch that makes you feel good inside then I would definitely recommend this movie. I will certainly continue watching the entire series.

Lovely Catherine Bell is perfectly cast as Cassandra Nightingale, a beautiful and mysterious newcomer who opens a shop in the small town of Middleton and has a knack of solving people's problems with relative ease. She quickly makes a good impression on the widowed police chief (Chris Potter) and his kids. Unfortunately, she makes a bad impression on the mayor's wife, a busybody who leads a campaign to have Cassie's shop closed down because she's a witch. The question of whether she really is a witch is never definitively answered. The movie does a clever and cute job of keeping that mystery intact right up until the final (and somewhat odd) slow-mo shot. The cast backing up Catherine Bell is extremely likable and appealing. The Good Witch has a wholesome quality about it but it's never corny or cloying. I especially appreciated the movie's leisurely pace. The score helps, as well. It's a relaxing movie with a little bit of humor, drama, and romance...and a lot of magic.

What a treat. When the movie started, and it was proclaimed a "Hallmark" show, I was prepared for overly sentimental fluff... what else?Was I in for a surprise. A magnificent, yet elegant look at the power of love in healing, and the power of real magic. Some movingly insightful takes on how uptight our society is, and how fearful we are of both the unknown and of ourselves. Non-violent conflict resolution is demonstrated as a fine art, something profoundly engaging and compelling to me in these perilous times. In fact, so many issues, from alternative healing to the very nature of health -- spiritual, physical, whatever you wish to call it -- were addressed with such an adroit hand. There's a lot packed into this little gem.I'm delighted to see there's a sequel. I'm off to watch it now, "The Good Witch's Gift (2010).

I liked the movie "The Good Witch", because Catherine Bell was very alluring and sexy in this movie. I can only wonder what she is like in real life as I suspect her character role in this movie might be closer to her real personality in real life. She comes across very delightful in that she has a good personality to go along with her good looks as well. She is a breath of fresh air as compared to other movie stars. The Hallmark channel has a lot of good movies that are more wholesome family oriented movies. I watched her in the series, "JAQ" many times and liked her acting. The thing that intrigued me the most was the underlying unwritten romance between her and Mac. Just when you think one of them is going to break out into something romantic and confess their crush and that there is something going on, they both seem to be in denial. Yet the storyline lets you know they are probably both in love with each other. This makes a great plot, and I can't wait to see what's going to happen next.
