Review of The Vow

The Vow (2012)
10/10
Refused to Be Ordinary, A Good Find
16 June 2012
I don't hand out 10s easily but I could not find any flaws to this wonderful love-story. It could have been a standard, formulaic loss-of-memory plot but it REFUSES TO BE ORDINARY and delivered believable but dramatic turns. After the first lead-in part, you would think the movie is about falling in love with the same woman again - that itself would be fair and acceptable - but the screen play went a different direction and offers some intrigues. By the ending you'll agree with the new direction and all the subtle hints it lay along the way made sense.

The main characters hit the right notes as were a fine supporting cast. Cudos to the director who paced the story sensibly and measurably. Personally I like the male lead (Tatum) the most. Everything he did was honest and believable. The female lead (McAdams) played someone who was justifiably confused and acted as should be. Great cinematography and memorable snow scenes. This movie isn't more highly rated could be because it lacked the glamorous stars. I rated it 10 out of 10 and highly recommended.
