The Vow (2012)
Mild themes, coarse language, nudity, and sexual references
| Director: | Michael Sucsy |
| Actors: | Rachel McAdams, Channing Tatum, Sam Neill, Scott Speedman, Jessica Lange, Sarah Carter |
Inspired by a true story, The Vow is the tale of a love that refuses to be forgotten. Leo (Channing Tatum) is devastated when a car accident plunges his wife Paige (Rachel McAdams) into a deep coma. She miraculously recovers – but the last five years of her memories have vanished.
Leo suddenly finds himself married to a stranger who can’t remember anything about him. Naively, Paige falls back under the influence of her controlling parents (Sam Neill and Jessica Lange) and reconnects with her ex-fiancé (Scott Speedman). Desperately, Leo tries to recreate the moments that shaped their romance. Can he rekindle the passion before he loses Paige forever?

Slow, wouldn't recommend unless you really had nothing else to do and like the slow pace of storyline.

Quite a nice story and some ha;f decent acting. It isn't the best movie I've ever seen but it was good viewing on a slow night

says
Absolutly loved it. Not as sad as the Notebook (what it kept getting compared to) Channing, YUMMY!, Rachel, beautiful! Not the ending i was hoping for though.

I loved this movie. I think Rachael McAdam is a very good actress.
Loved The Notebook that she also appeared in. Also Jessica McNamee was a good choice for her sister as they are so muh alike.

I really enjoyed this movie especially as it was based on a true event.
Kath
says
A nice movie which is sad and frustrating at times but makes you think how you would react if you or your partner had amnesia. The women's family are not supportive of the couples relationship so you feel the husband is out on his own in his struggle.
says
Really enjoyed this one!

i loved it. cried and cried

Great story especially since it is based on true story. Rachel McAdams almost typecast in to the role but still a good watch. I can't stand Channing Tatum and his mumbling, but I thought this was the best acting i've ever seen him do. I'd even watch this movie again sometime in the future. I enjoyed it.

The three stars are courtesy of my wife. I would have only given it two. When they say its "inspired" by a true story, it's only that. It's not a factual re-enactment. Story aside, I felt the script was poor, the acting under-done, & the characters very weak. Wow, I sound like a movie critic. That's what unlimited DVD's on Quickflix does to you. Anyway, it's probably an ok chic flick. Guys, you might want to watch the cricket.

This was a beautiful heartfelt movie of strengh and commitment on Channing Tatum's part. Most would have given up and excepted the facts. Most woman would have wanted to be the one he turned to, I know I did.

Channing and Rachael are my Fav actors and if they hadn't of been on this movie it would not have been as good. I was expecting a little more but overall a good movie
Babs B
says
An enjoyable movie, since it was based on a true story.
MAR
says
Loved this movie, so sad but eventually it all worked out in the end. Love is a strong tool.
Janer
says
Mediocre American story with the usual American cliches, parents troubled and wealthy, daughter fabulously talented, an artist, husband ruggedly handsome with scruples.
TJ
says
Nice feel good movie, even my husband and teenage son watched it and liked it.
Lesley
says
I think I'm getting old and expecting too much, so many stories are too predictable. Will have to read info more carefully before I put them on the list. This was ok, just not for me. 2 and a half stars. I think someone who likes goofy love stories will love this.
Sybil
says
Okay but nothing more.
Kyliep
says
Very sweet and romantic storyline. Rachel McAdams character's turnaround a bit too abrupt and her story a little rushed.
renued
says
Heartwarming & tender. Recommed highly
says
I enjoyed this movie. If you like romance then this is the movie for you. Being based on a true story made it even better.
Sprock
says
Channing Tatum is a brilliant dancer (Step Up, Magic Mike), but not so crash hot a serious actor. (Although I found 21 Jump Street hilarious) The two leading actor’s didn’t appear to work well together. However, the story is beautiful but I couldn't get past the bad acting... :(
valerie
says
not what I expected it was actually really good, thought it would be mushy teeny bopper type but much enjoyed it
juliekym
says
I was very disappointed with this movie as I saw the real couple on Dr Phil that the story was based on and expected it to be similar to their story. Usually film makers take a real story and add drama that never happened to make it more interesting for the view but this was just the opposite. The real person it was based on had to wear nappies and learn to talk as well and only couldn't remember approximately the last 14 months which was when she me her husband. Also the car crash was way worse than depicted.
says
Better than expected. Both actors easy on eye and good performances, good story and enjoyed it!
Marg
says
Not quite as good as I expected but still really enjoyed the story as it unfolded, and both Rachel and Channing are great to watch.

was ok - good eye candy
CJ
says
My wife and I really liked this...yes the ending does leave it open and I have to admit it was a movie I didn't want to end. If you like romantic movies you'll like this.
kimbo

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. Based on a true story. Enjoyable

I thought that this was going to be an overly romantic, slushy movie after seeing the preview - it was actually much better than that! The story felt genuine, no cheesiness etc. The actors were great and really sucked you into the story. I guess it is a chick flick, but not a sickeningly slushy one! Pleasantly surprised!

Great chick film!
Rayels
says
good movie just abit on the slow side but the male actor is nice eye candy........
Anie
says
Really enjoyed the movie, romantic and interesting and nice eye candy ;). Disappointed that just when it was getting good it just ended.... The ending let it down
Lisa
says
this movie had a really nice romance story but it just kind of stoppped when things got interesting so i felt like something was missing. As always Channing Tatum was very nice to look at.
GK
says
Liked it, though I had such high expectations for his movie that was a little disappointed. Great actors... Just love Rachel McAdams smile.

GREAT MOVIE
Legend
says
Nice enough but somehow the ending was a bit unsatisfying. this movie promised lots but I couldn't help feeling disappointed.... not entirely sure why...
Ann E.
says
As with many 'true' stories this has an average storyline but it is well acted and a touching if sometimes frustrating feel to it. Go into it knowing the outline and you won't be disappointed, we enjoyed it very much.
Kim
says
really good movie, totally enjoyed it and was entertained for the whole movie and liked the ending
Liz
says
Thanks a lot MELZY for giving away part of the ending!
poshreany
says
very good movie, beautiful story and well acting, i rarely watch romance movies, but i found this very entertaining and moving.
Margit
says
Yes based on a true story, I found this dissapointing I guess I expected more with these two actors
Mrs D
says
I was totally dissapointed with this one. Rachel McAdams is my fave actress and even she wasn't convincing in this dull, drawn out tale. It would sit better as a channel 7 midday movie.

Did Melzy and Smelliott know that this movie is based on a true strory. I saw it with my two teenage daughters at the movies and enjoyed it.. I have just put it on my queue so my husband can see it. The hospital part, where she thinks she is married to an ex-boyfriend, is true to the real couple it is based on and also the dating and him getting frustrated with her. Good for a drama/love story.
Melzy
says
Its true .. channing is mesmerising ... but not really thought out well plot wise ... and leaves an open ending which I HATE ... If you want a half assed film cos you have nothing left to put in your queue then this is the movie for you lol
Smelliott
says
One of the worst chick flicks I've seen. There's a lack of conviction in the acting and plot that just seem to make it drag with no purpose in mind. I saw more of Channing Tatum's abs than I did of anything truly convincing. The story is a fascinating one, but for me the acting felt forced and immature.
