The Vow (2012) Starring Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams

[mars07]

will definitely watch this movie!

halos lahat ng movie ni Rachel McAdams ang gaganda mostly love story!

one of her movies that i like is the notebook and the time traveler's wife

[rej_miller18]

Rottentomatoes' general consensus of the movie is this.

Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams do their best with what they're given, but The Vow is too shallow and familiar to satisfy the discriminating date-night filmgoer.

Regardless, I will be watching the movie.

Watched The Vow with an exgf. The movie's a so so. There were boring moments and the rapport of Channing Tatum & Rachel McAdams is kind of a different, not so much of a husband and wife. Don't expect much with this film or you'll get frustrated 6/10

[MrSinister]

lot of bad reviews but I'm still going to see it with my gf

[infinite_trial]

of course the rapport or chemistry is different. it's supposed to be an awkward movie that's why they are not so much of a husband and wife.

here's a review guys maganda siya used up na yung memory loss sa mga films pero ibang klaseng chemistry yung ginawa ng 2

[Kaitten]

Falling in love is one of the best thing that can happen in life. It makes you happy, sometimes it makes us cry but you can learn a lot of things that can complete your personality. But what if your love one lost her memory and thinks that your a total stranger after the vows and promises you made with each other.



Leo (Channing Tatum) is deeply in love with his wife Paige (Rachael McAdams) but due to unfortunate accident Paige had a severe head trauma which leads her into memory loss. Paige only remembers the life she has four years back where she do not remember Leo at all. Leo believes that if she heads back into their house he could bring back her memory but in her head, she still in law school and engaged with Jeremy (Scott Speedman). Now Leo must find a way to win her heart back and compete in a completely new life.



A lot of critics slapped The Vow a failing grade maybe due to over used concept of memory loss in a romantic genre but for us it really exceeded our expectation making it a good romantic tale about true love. With the chemistry between the leads it really gave a lot emotions that really touched our hearts. They really had a good combination specially McAdams as the veteran of this type of films gave some powerful tearjerker scenes. Though Tatum lacks a little in his delivery of his emotions he still provided a huge spark with the use of his charismatic style and charms.

Another plus for this film is this is inspired by true events. Most of this movies are ideal to watch as some can really adapt in the story making it memorable and could touch our hearts. Overall we recommend this movie to all the guys and girls who have their dates this valentines day. Don't watch this alone as it would dramatically pour some tears that would need a shoulder you can lean on after.

THE VOW 2012



I enjoyed the movie immensely even if it was panned by critics. There's obvious chemistry between the two leads and the movie was peppered with heartwarming and funny moments. Channing Tatum showed a lot in this movie and I guess that's a welcome treat for me. Even with a really few dragging parts, I enjoyed the movie immensely.

Charming leads, I have to say!

RATING: 8/10

[whatthehey]

Wil watch this one later tonight!
This better be good. Ive waited for this since July or August last year!

By the way, the movie topped the North American box office on its opening week. The movie earned 41.2 million dollars on its first week of theater/cinema screenings.

pretty decent movie, i gave it an 8/10...

[mccallister]

ginastusan talaga ang promo ng movie na ito. noong pino-promote ito, halos lahat ng mga tabloids and showbiz news ay binabanggit iyung nude scenes niya. kesyo frontal daw. dahil nga ex-stripper siya in real life, ini-expect ng tao na gagawin niya iyung ginaawa ni Michael Fassbender sa Shame. pu.wit lang pala ang pinakita niya. his acting is horrible and the story is mediocre. I fell asleep watching this movie.

Drama | Romance


The movie is absolutely heartbreaking. Not the story-- but the fact that when Valentine's Day rolled in, poor gooey-eyed females eager for some silver-screen romance trekked to the cinemas and paid for this movie only to have received a pseudo-story.

Based on true events, The Vow's premise is a tragically beautiful love story; but, unfortunately, the story was translated into a movie tragically.

Paige (Rachel McAdams), in one snowy evening, removed her seatbelt and leaned over to kiss her husband, Leo (Channing Tatum). Out of the blue, a truck perfectly rearended their car, sending her through the windshield and into a coma. When Paige wakes up, five years' worth of memory--which includes her entire married life and relationship with Leo--are lost. Her amnesia reverts her back into her juvenile law school days, like a spoiled sorority girl, and back to the arms of her snobby parents (Sam Neill and Jessica Lange) and her old yuppy boyfriend Jeremy (Scott Speedman). Leo (Channing Tatum) is devastated and helplessly tries to win her back by showing his pectoral muscles-- because Paige not only looks at him like a stranger but her brains also seem to have eliminated her manners and sense of consideration for other people, most especially to the sad-eyed stranger telling her that he's her legal husband.

The Vow, directed by Michael Sucsy, fails to elicit the appropriate emotions from a supposedly tragic love story. The couple has zero percent chemistry, and Tatum looks utterly dull and sounds even more dull, which brings back to mind Moose of the Archie comic series-- except Tatum is brunette and is all bohemian with his straw hat. Rachel McAdams is effective as an irritating beatch, but she makes too much cutesy faces and beautiful eyes, which would have been actually cute if it weren't for her glop of bad hair.

The movie, narrated dully by a monotonous Tatum, has a screenplay with painfully shallow and banal lines that feel like that they were written by high school-- lazy high school students for a school project. Did I miss the old Paige and felt Leo's yearning for her? No. Did I feel that that were head over heels in love before the accident? No. Did my heart melt when Leo tried to win her back? No. Did I find it butterflies-in-the-stomach romantic when they were having a marvelous time on their post-amnesia date, intoxicated with happiness while popping various flavors of chocolates in their mouth (could be rigged with weed), or when they skinny dipped just so Leo could seduce her with his pectoral muscles? No! Did I find myself caring for the characters? Hell no! Did I become annoyed with Rachel McAdam's old personality? Check!

The Vow, with poorly written conflicts and shallow lines, wasted such a good idea for a drama love story. Did it urge me to research about the real couple whose story inspired this movie? Nope! After watching the movie, I just felt like exercising and toning my stomach to eliminate my muffin tops.
