DVD Review: "I will not dream of bunnies."
Summary: 4 Stars
To be different is to tempt being shunned or made terrible fun of, and THE GOOD WITCH resurrects that old chestnut. A mysterious stranger moves into the town of Middleton, and this being that sort of town, the rumors are soon flying thick as flies. It doesn't help that Cassandra Nightingale takes up residence at the "Grey House," the dilapidated local haunted mansion. With everyone speculating whether Cassie is the frightening Grey Lady come back to life, the mayor's prudish, imperious wife Mrs. Tinsdale soon embarks on her persecution crusade, accusing Cassie of practicing the dark arts and petitioning to throw her out of town. Jake Russell, the town sheriff and a widower of three years, finds himself caught in the middle. Because Cassie, with her enigmatic ways, is giving credence to all the gossip. The sheriff is faced with having to enforce the mayor's wife's vindictiveness even as he becomes attracted to the newcomer.
Magic... or just good old psychology at work? Believing that she has certain, er, arcane powers, several in the community approach Cassie with their problems. But if you listen close you'll hear buried in Cassie's whimsical mumbo jumbo some sound advice, a spoonful of common sense, a certain knowledge of human behavior. THE GOOD WITCH, another good 'un from the Hallmark Channel, sets up the mystery of whether Cassie is truly a witch and there's enough tension and Cassie does just enough weird stuff that you're kept guessing. Because Cassie can soothe the savage beast, can tame dream monsters, and then she even opens up an herbal shop she calls Bell, Book & Candle (she charges $5 for each of her merchandise). Oh, Mrs. Tinsdale, Middleton's champion busybody, she's really up in arms now. Meanwhile, Cassie is sneakily improving the lot in life of certain of the townspeople.
Part of me wishes the sexy Colonel MacKenzie were still trading courtroom barbs with Commander Rabb, but the role of Cassandra Nightingale is a terrific change of pace for Catherine Bell, and she's still as gorgeous as ever, as, er, bewitching as ever, and here she shows off her playful side. THE GOOD WITCH is a family teleplay, and it does teach lessons of tolerance and open-mindedness and perseverance. Pay attention and you just may suss out that even a violent bully may be going thru his own hell, that a homeless drunk can still contribute if given a chance, that an alluring unorthodox stranger residing in a scary mansion with a black cat doesn't necessarily equate to "Witch!" Or maybe it does. THE GOOD WITCH leaves you to make up your own mind. And I like that.
Now I'm just holding on for the sequel, THE GOOD WITCH'S GARDEN, to make its way to DVD.
Description of The Good Witch
Catherine Bell (Army Wives) stars as Cassie, a bewitching woman who moves into a mysterious mansion in a small town. Soon, she opens Bell, Book & Candle, a curiosity shop full of candles, lotions, etc., and is enthralling the children of the local Police Chief (Chris Potter), who believes that she is a witch (but not a bad one!). But not everyone in town is appreciative of their quirky new neighbor, and it may take a little bit of magic for her to truly become part of the community.Similar DVDs, VHS Video, Audio CDs
