Can't say anything bad about this movie. This movie itself is a memory to me, watching it over and over again just reminds me of the good old days. This movie is so beautiful, and iconic about how love should be regardless of how horrible the circumstances are. P.S thanks for searchin me up <3

The Vow has been praised by many fans of romantic comedy/drama film goers and has received mixed reviews from critics. The film is quite a decent watch but overall what brings it down is the writing and character of the lead Rachel McAdams. They made her character far too unlikable once she had her memory loss. Which made little sense because we see little glances and scenes with how her character was personally before the incident. If she was kind hearted before the incident, how would it change her completely afterwards.Knowing her character, it was difficult rooting for her. And wondering as to why Channing Tatum's character (Leo) put up with her for so long. But that was pointed out within his wedding "vow" speech. Of course the film features a predictable ending but not as one would expect. Perhaps many people were expecting Paige (McAdams) to finally wake up one day with a complete remembrance of her memory but that wasn't that case. They make note in the final scene, that six months had passed and they were not together, until she randomly drops by and spots Leo at a local coffee spot. The Vow wasn't as tear jerking as it could have been, especially for a film with such a strong case accident as this. Perhaps Rachel McAdams was miscast, and the film would have fared better with another leading actress. As we did not really care what happened to her character after a certain point.

I give this film 6 out of 10 stars. I found it to be so so sad. I wanted to see more of Paige and Leo's life together before the accident. I wanted to see it how it came to be in the beginning, rather than through her eyes again. I was so depressed watching this movie, but I did it because I am a fan of McAdams and Tatum. I wish I could come up with more positive things to say, but I do find myself wondering why we are presented this story. Is it meant to give us hope that if we lose ourselves we can eventually find ourselves again? That love is eternal? Perhaps if the story was culled out more to where I could fully connect to Paige and Leo's beginning I could appreciate where they ended here.

In this romantic drama Channing Tatum plays Leo, and Rachel McAdams plays his wife Paige. The couple gets into a car accident and Paige suffers amnesia. Many people who reviewed this movie are saying this is just the basic "chick flick", but why does that matter? In my opinion there is nothing wrong with these so called "chick flicks". People always find romantic movies predicting and boring. I personally like some predictable movies. To me movies like this are kind of like living your own fairytale throughout other people's lives. The fact that this movie was based on a true story made it even better to me. This movie uses drama and acting to keep your attention. Some reviewers argue that there is not good chemistry between the actors but a lot disagree. I think that there was great chemistry between these two actors. When it flashes back and shows how the two of them met is a great place they show chemistry. You can tell that they are having a great time in this flash back, and it really gives you an idea of when they started to fall in love. I think that Channing and Rachel did a great job with this.The other thing that I have seen people comment on is the emotion, and how it lacked in both of the main actors. I think that Rachel McAdams has done a great job in this movie with her emotion, just like in the Notebook. It would be hard if you woke up, and did not remember anything going on in your life. I think she was very convincing with her acting and emotion. She did a great job showing the struggle it would be to deal with all of it. Rachel's facial expressions and the emotion she puts behind her acting makes you feel like she is actually the one going through all of this. Channing Tatum also does a great job with his emotion, and not giving up no matter what it took to win her back. After being turned down time and time again he never gives up. Not to mention how he shows how hurt he was with this terrible tragedy. He convinces me with the love he shows for Paige with his determination and sincerity.However, I do agree there are a few parts of the movie that could have been better. For instance, the scene with the car accident could have been made a little more believable. I felt that it looked really fake. The way that they accident happened did not really make it that believable to me. Also, the way that Paige got so hurt looked very unrealistic when happening. This scene was in slow motion, which I think usually adds to the affect; however, I think that it seemed to hurt it this time. I think that camera angle could have also been changed at the end. At the beginning it was close up and at the end it was more of an overview. I think that when it was close up it seemed more realistic, because it felt more like you were there. The last thing I wish would have been changed was the ending would have been a little different, but it still worked for me. Even with these little things I still loved this movie. Overall, I thought this was a great movie. From the beginning of where it shows the car accident, and how they met, to the end, it kept my attention. I loved the plot, acting, and the fight for love. This is one of my all time favorites. The true story behind it all with all of the emotion put into the acting was outstanding. This "chick flick" earns a high rating in my opinion.
