The Vow

Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams star as a young married couple that is befallen by tragedy: The two are in a car accident that puts Paige (McAdams) into a coma. When she awakens, she has no memory of her life with Leo (Tatum). The two drift apart, with Leo constantly trying to remind Paige of their love for one another. This is a tearjerker, and both Tatum and McAdams prove they have the formula down pat. However, the movie focuses far too much on Leo’s emotional pain, rather than what would be the more-traumatic situation—Paige’s loss of several years of memory. That’s truly frightening and heartbreaking, but it’s an aspect that’s only briefly touched upon.
