As with most of Hallmark's Christmas movies, I can imagine the writers questioning: 'Which one of our 2 USUAL careers should we make the lead actress have in this film: a high-powered attorney?...OR a top-notch marketer?...(coin toss)...OK, a top-notch marketer!'
And so the USUAL predictable plot begins...
"Eve," who makes a 6-figure salary by her early thirties working in NYC, gets drunk one night and whines about her love life. She is given a chance to go back in time...to her home town...to re-establish the relationship she had with her fiancé...before she had decided to embark on her career. She whines throughout the movie.
Cheryl Ladd, my favorite female star: Alas! Cheryl has never played a bad part. Why now?
Hmmm...now the only thing left to say is:
Let's hope Elisa obtained realistic dentures with her salary from this movie.

As long as folks do NOT get involved in witchcraft as a result of this movie...
...and can see ONLY the goodness of "Cassie's" gestures...that are inspirational for all of us to be good and do good WITHOUT witchcraft...then I think this movie is more than entertaining...It is remarkably unique with a great purpose!
Catherine Bell was casted PERFECTLY! She has the look of beautiful mystery and exuded a delightful charm as the very likable "Cassie,"...who only has intentions of doing good for others. And so she does.
No matter what predicament, "Cassie" remains amazingly calm and optimistic. Totally disregards negative issues as being a dreadful challenge and to be upset about them...but instead, puts her energy into making them work out for the best. She sees the good in everyone with whom she comes in contact...and brings out their best. She is forgiving when applicable. She is very giving and caring.
So glad a series was made...with each movie being just as enjoyable!

When the 2013 previews aired, I could hardly wait to see another new great Hallmark movie with a seasonal theme!
HA!
Much to my surprise and great dismay,"The Thanksgiving House" was lousy!
In retrospect, it was actually the fore-runner...the predictor...the warning...of Hallmark's 2013 line of lousy new Christmas movies to come!...(which continued in to 2014).
Considering readers have already read the plot above, I was disappointed that this movie ONLY had a minute relationship to T/g...that the house was questioningly built over the site of the first T/g feast......wow.
It was if they had to throw something in about T/g for the reason of the title...the title that alluded to the movie primarily having a T/g plot.....BUT it was nothing more than a romance...and NOT a charming one at all.
ALL of the players' parts and acting were of course consistent with the plot: pointless and boring.
I always watch the new disappointing seasonal movies at least twice for a fair judgment...but this disappointing movie did not improve. It never became enjoyable as is.
