Movie Review: "The Reckoning"

Synopsis: Katherine Mayfield (Katie LeClerc) is living the dream.  After discovering that her biological mother was the head of a multi-million-dollar charitable foundation, Katherine inherited it all after her mom's death.  Katherine is also very much in love with her significant other, Richard, who has just proposed marriage to her.  All seems to be as it should be...until Daniel Fisher, a boy from the same Amish community where Katherine was raised, and who was once pledged to be married to her, but was thought to be dead, appears, alive and well, and professes his love for her.  Will Katherine be able to make the right decision?
Based on the book by Beverly Lewis.

The Good: This film series has been great up to this point, and this last outing continues the trend.  A captivating plot; great acting; amazing sets; a likable heroine; wonderful morals; nothing profane or sexual (save for a brief reference to a honeymoon and another to an extramarital pregnancy, both of which are handled with serious decorum)...this is how I like my movies!

The Bad: Nothing, really.

Conclusion: If you've watched this series of telefilms up to this point, you definitely should continue with this one; I had a blast with it.  Not only is it very clean-cut, but it's a charmer.  I hope they make more of Beverly Lewis' books into movies; as long as they keep up the momentum they have going, the next films will be winners as well!

Score: 5/5
