A Bruxa do Bem 6

Cassie has been so sweet and helpful to everyone for five movies. It wasn't fun to watch Martha turn against her for something where it was obvious that no malice was intended. I wouldn't trust Gwen's son, Drew, after all that atrocious behavior. And Jake turning against his wife like that was disgusting. His lame apology later was insufficient for me. Oh, and Brandon is supposed to be an adult, yet he overreacts big time to his dad's words of caution.

I haven't seen the final movie yet. I hope it's better.

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.

I'm surprised I haven't seen this issue brought up-why doesn't Cassie ever hold Baby Grace or Toddler Grace in movies 5 & 6? In movie 5 she holds her new baby twice and not at all in the next movie. There are few if any scenes of her cuddling the baby or even taking care of her! That job is continually handed off to Lori or George or a babysitter. This so goes against the character of Cassie who is so kind and warm and maternal to her stepchildren, and it's very weird that she doesn't seem to care about her baby at all. How did the writers let this happen? There could have been so many sweet moments with her and Jake and the baby. I watched the series before the movies which made this seem all the more crazy!

For some reason things go wrong in perfect middleton. But other things don't seem right , nothing to do with bad luck . Brandon is 19 and marrying Tara who looks and is older , like 27. I can't see that as a match .

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
