“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.
