The Vow review

Paige Collins (Rachel McAdams) and her husband Leo (Channing Tatum) encounters an accident that would change their lives. Paige forgets her recent memories while Leo tries everything to win her back. It's baffling how one can still be buff after eating so much chocolates and pizza. Channing Tatum reminds this critic of Keanu Reeves inability to act while mumbling through lines that could have been effective for the film.

Leo does everything in his power to try and remind Paige of the love they once shared but it seems as though he is about to lose her to the attractive ex-fiancé and her doting family (played by Sam Neill and Jessica Lange). Will Leo succeed in winning her love back is the question we ask...

Movie Review of The Vow

Hypothetically speaking, if you were to wake up from a coma and not remember anything about the last 4 years of your life, including the person you are married to, it would be a frightening and confusing ordeal. Of course, if the person claiming to be your spouse looked like Channing Tatum, there’s a distinct possibility you might be tempted to just go with it, although I suppose that’s simplifying the issue a bit. But if you are wondering if the storyline translates into a worthwhile movie, read on.

THE GOOD: Leo and Paige (portrayed by Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams respectively) are a cute, somewhat quirky couple who fall in love and get married in an artsy offhanded manner, and seem destined for marital bliss, until fate and slick winter roads in Chicago have other plans for ...
