Newlyweds Leo, Channing Tatum, and Paige, Rachel McAdams, are involved in a car accident that robs Paige of her memories of their courtship and wedding. Paige is torn between the family she remembers but seemed to have grown away from and the husband she sees as a stranger. Tatum delivers a dramatic and heartwarming performance as the husband who struggles to regain his wife, and McAdams matches his passion and sincerity.
The Vow is a decent movie about true love, it’s satisfying without being overwhelming. Though it’s not quite in the same league as McAdam’s The Notebook, easily the best romantic movie of the last decade and so far of this century, it’s still a pleasant romp and McAdam’s acting chops and Tatum’s comedic quips are sure to please.
The Vow will be showing on DISH Cinema starting May, 8th.
