Synopsis:
A Hallmark Channel Original Movie stars Catherine Bell as Cassie Nightingale, the enchanting new resident of a cozy little community. She moves into the supposedly-haunted Grey House and opens Bell, Book and Candle, a curiosity shop filled with candles, oils and enticing scents. Although the local police chief and his children are charmed by her ways, it may take a little magic to win over some of her more ardent opponents.

Worldview:
Hallmark scores again with this wonderful presentation of “The Good Witch.” Cassie moves into the “haunted” house of the neighborhood and this story keeps you guessing if she is a witch, as some people assume, or just the mysterious new girl in town. The assumption that Cassie is a witch comes because of the good things that happen when numerous people follow her advice. The movie keeps you wondering until the end if she is magical or simply a student of human behavior. In the end, the latter is proven…or is it?
This is a refreshingly clean movie with only mild content such as low-cut shirts, drinks over dinner, and a couple that kisses two times. “The Good Witch” is a fantasy film and does not encourage occult practices. It earns the Dove Seal for family-friendly viewing and is recommended for ages twelve plus due to the mature themes.
Content Description:
Sex: A couple kisses two times.
Language: None
Violence: None
Drugs: A couple has wine over dinner.
Nudity: Low-cut shirts.
