A Review Of The Movie "The Vow"


“Life's all about moments of impact and how they changes our lives forever. But what if one day you could no longer remember any of them?” This is the powerful opening statement made by Leo (Channing Tatum) in the movie “The Vow.” This movie isn’t your typical sappy love story. In fact director Michael Sucsy does a brilliant job to show that it is a much more than that.

This movie is about a very young couple in love, who are put to an ultimate test extremely early in their marriage. After a severe car accident, Paige (Rachel McAdams) experiences memory loss and has no recollection of her husband or their life together.

This film appeals to me because while it has a happy ending, it also has its share of ups and downs (as life does). This movie demonstrates hope and inspiration to its viewers. Nevertheless I do recognize one weakness. It is based on a true story but they do not stick to the facts. I believe they should.

I would recommend this film because it appeals to a wide range of audiences, unlike most movies today. In my opinion a good film is well rounded and includes a couple of genres throughout. While “The Vow” is a powerful love story, it also has action. Screenwriters Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein do a great job of incorporating humor into the film. I believe “The Vow” has something for everyone.
