Catherine Bell returns for the third time as mild-mannered witch Cassie Nightingale for the Hallmark Channel. Previous entries in the series were THE GOOD WITCH and THE GOOD WITCH'S GARDEN.
In this one, Cassie and her fiancé are preparing to get married on Christmas Eve, and various plot complications occur, all of which are set up via exposition. The dialogue, alas, is not particularly good, but as in the earlier movies, Miss Bell keeps a perky smile and attitude at all times, as things simply fall her way.
It's all a bit too easy for any sense of drama, but the actors are all competent and, as usual for these Hallmark productions, there is some very good camera-work by John Berrie, who seems to like classical camera movement to maintain composition.
This one won't win any awards, but for people who have enjoyed the earlier movies, this should be a nice reunion.
