A Ring for Christmas

I really think some of the other reviewers are being harsh. Christmas movies are supposed to be cheesy and not that believable. Kind of like Santa Claus (sorry, kids). This movie had all the elements of a good Christmas movie: holiday music and snow and making cookies and drinking cocoa. The point is to get into the holiday spirit and this movie certainly will do that for you (though reading the other reviews will not!)

To be sure, the plot isn't perfect. There are some inconsistencies and holes. The main character was a bit problematic, in that she was supposed to be spoiled and bratty at the beginning, then shift to someone more likable, but in fact, she never seemed all that horrible to begin with, which made it difficult to see a real change over the course of the movie. However, the reviews about the actress's looks are plain mean and unnecessary. She is very pretty and played the part well. The other actors also did a nice job and I especially liked Kate McGarrigle, who plays Angie's hilarious best friend. Give this movie a chance, it will make you laugh and give you a warm Christmas feeling, which is really all you can ask for in a Christmas movie.
