Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

wilsonchieng 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

namashi_1 Inspired by the true story of real-life couple Kim and Krickitt Carpenter, 'The Vow' is a cute film, about love & belief. And even the performances, are good!'The Vow' Synopsis: A car accident puts Paige in a coma, and when she wakes up with severe memory loss, her husband Leo works to win her heart again.'The Vow' is all about love & in believing that true-love will always triumph over obstacles. I like how Leo, the protagonist, tries to win back Paige's heart, even after she literally forgets him. There is a certain warmth in their journey, that will leave you smiling, if nothing else.Abby Kohn, Marc Silverstein, and Jason Katims's Screenplay is nice, but the sub-plot involving Paige's parents, doesn't work & needed to be trimmed. Michael Sucsy's Direction is satisfactory. Cinematography is passable. Editing is decent. Art & Costume Design are well-done.Performance-Wise: Rachel McAdams as Paige & Channing Tatum as Leo lead 'The Vow'. McAdams, an Oscar-Nominee, is nicely restrained in a rather difficult role, while Tatum is excellent as the husband waiting for his wife to love him back. Also, the leads share a warm on-screen chemistry throughout. Of the supporting cast, Veterans Jessica Lange & Sam Neill are wasted as Paige's parents.On the whole, 'The Vow' is surely a good one-time watch.

Floated2 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.

ratcat0 I cant believe that I sat for two hours through this dreadful bland script tripe premise and lacklustre performances. The only reason I watched it was for the promise of a shot at McCaddams butt in pink knickers as seen in the previews but even that was fleeting. This movie gives the viewer nothing to work with, you don't feel sad when they wont get back together (I secretly hoped they didn't just so it would be different)You don't feel happy when they do (sort of) get back together. You don't exactly hate the parents and well basically the whole movie is just a littler Meh! Glad it was on free-to-air because even putting up with the TV ads was paying too much!!
