‘True Love Blooms’ is a Hallmark movie that seeks to stay true to its title. It is a movie about how true romance can blossom anywhere, with the most unexpected people. If nourished, it can truly be converted into something as foundationally strong as a large tree. The film is a part of Hallmark’s ‘Spring Fever’ slate of movies. The ‘Spring Fever’ films promise to remind viewers that romance is not seasonal. In fact, that is the evergreen message of the network which has come to be known as THE romance destination on television.

Hallmark regularly releases romance-themed movies all year long and these are truly delightful to watch. Why pay for a movie ticket when you can just enjoy a consistent stream of quality movies from your couch, right? Well, Hallmark movies have been labeled as cheesy in the past but it is their optimistic outlook which makes viewers demand more each time. Anyway, the premise of ‘True Love Blooms’ is quite simplistic, slightly resembling the classic Romeo and Juliet tale. There are no warring factions here though. However, what leads one to such a conclusion is the fact that the movie is about two people who are in the opposite teams, if you must, falling for each other.

The movie follows the urban gardener, Vikki who is a “nice person.” She takes care of a community garden and believes that it is “a beacon to the entire neighborhood.’ The garden is her dream project and she is quite invested in the positive effects that it has on the community.

However, Chace is an opportunistic reality developer who is also a “nice person,” just more money-minded. He wants to build a housing project on the land that Vikki’s garden is in. Don’t worry, the movie does not foray into a David vs Goliath kind of tale about the sinister methodologies of a corporate honcho against a common person.

Instead, the film sees the two characters attempt to peacefully negotiate despite both of them being quite firm in what they want. Amidst all of this, the two seem to be attracted to each other. Can they put their differences aside and try to find meaningful love? If so, what will happen to the garden? There seems to be no middle way and we will have to watch the movie to find out who makes the bigger sacrifice.
