Une famille peu ordinaire

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.

Lost the magic of others Cassie and Jake lost their spark kids boring too

There are too many sub plots in this episode. Cassie's life is overwhelming her and consternation is everywhere creating a slow boring wait to the obvious conclusion. There's no element of fun, comedy or anything Of intrigue to make you smile. Lastly, the deputy sees the thief but never does anything about. Plus other investigative holes. Sadly, This one you can skip.

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 before

Things 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

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.
