There is actual magic at the center of this story. The situations that occur around a novice suddenly getting magic and a lifetime warlock starting to lose his set up good humor and good dialogue.
There is also obviously a romance mixed in, but the movie is a bit different for a rom/com because the two romantic leads don't actually get to spend a lot of time together on screen.
Nikki Deloach is the Hallmark actor I have the most respect for. (I'm pretty sure this is before she became a Hallmark regular since this is Mar Vista.) I think she has shown better acting talent in some of the more serious stories for Hallmark, but she does a credible job here. She has good chemistry with Ryan McPartlin despite not sharing a lot of screen time. Most of the actors are good for what is needed in their roles.
The story is pretty simple and there are no great highs or lows or surprises, but it is still enjoyable. The tone is mostly upbeat and most of the characters are quite likeable. Even the romantic rival is likeable. Still, I doubt the movie will knock your socks off, but I enjoyed it and will likely watch it again.
