Review of A Ring by Spring

I would rate most Hallmark movies around a 5 out of 10, but this one is just plain better than the norm. Rachel Boston is the main reason why. She is charming, delightful, and easy to relate to. Her exploration of past romantic failures is not always exciting, but it is an interesting concept. There is a realism to it that I quite like, even if I had to strain a bit to believe that her character would have struggled so much.

It's not a perfect movie (it suffers from the same Hallmark-mandated plot requirements), but I do recommend it because it packs an effective emotional punch.
