Movie Review: The Vow

Do you believe there is someone out there for everyone?  Based on a true story, THE VOW makes one believe in soul mates.  Leo (Channing Tatum) and Paige’s (Rachel McAdams) world is turned upside down by one of life’s moments of impact.  Paige wakes up in the hospital after the couple’s car accident with no memory of Leo or their life together.  Her last memory is five years prior when she was engaged to another man and living a completely different life.  The doctor suggests she jump back into her daily routine, but she is uneasy about going home with her husband Leo, a man she no longer knows.  Another obstacle is her parents are pulling for her to return home with them, but she does not remember they have not spoken in five years.  It is heart wrenching watching Leo fight for the love of Paige when she only remembers loving her ex-fiancé.  Leo works tirelessly to make his wife fall in love with him again. Although a bit slow in the beginning, it is worth a matinee. Go check it out this weekend!

The film may be entirely unafraid of predictability, but it's sweet, shiny and well acted; essentially it delivers exactly what it says on the box. It also helps that McAdams and Tatum are good here, especially when they're together. Nice write-up. Check out mine when you get the chance.
