Reviews
Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
huongvu89 I'm so not into this type of movie normally . The only genre I watch is comedy but stumbled across it from cleaning my house ( must have given it as a gift ) and what can I say ? It's amazing Every turn of movie is just real , the interaction and everything ! Felt like the actual scene was right in front of me and I immersed into these beautiful moments with them :)Yes and I cried on and off the entire movie , don't mind me !
Mihai Toma A married couple suffer a horrible car accident from which she ends up with a serious case of amnesia, not being able to remember anything from the past few years. Unfortunately, that is exactly the period in which they married and she alienated herself from her family. Thus, he is forced to win her heart once again before her family (which have a huge advantage in her loss memory) is able to get rid of him. She will prove to be very stubborn and hard to convince but he is determined to do whatever he can to win back what he once had.Although it is a very good idea which should be able to bring a lot of drama, love and tension, it actually shows how not to make a movie of its type. It is filled with plot holes, awkward events and head scratching decisions. Her character is determined to avoid every bit of logic and act strictly linear, regardless of his honest efforts of convincing her of the truth. If you manage to forget about the fact that the main intrigue of the film is caused by a ridiculous and highly implausible accident, you'll soon find out that the movie has a tendency of basing its main events on basic coincidences, thus resulting in huge alterations of the plot. To make matters even worse, its finale is inconclusive, to say the least, which is simply unacceptable in such a movie.It has a good idea and a couple of very good actors which have played similar roles with success in their career so there isn't much excuse for what this movie turned out to be. I wasn't expecting a masterpiece but this is far less than the good movie it should have been.
Breanna Spohn Imagine a sad love story. The husband loses his wife of seventy-plus years to cancer or a wife becomes a widow after her husband is killed in war. These are stories that might have come to mind. And notice they have a very similar theme—losing a loved one. Most sad love stories carry this same theme, but what about a love story that has that same theme, but in a different way? What if, for example, the husband doesn't lose his wife physically, but instead loses her mentally and emotionally? This is the idea behind Michael Sucsy's movie "The Vow." When a couple from Chicago are in an accident that causes Paige (Rachel McAdams) to forget her life with Leo (Channing Tatum), we are caught in this emotional roller-coaster as Leo tries to get his wife to fall in love with him again. The amount of emotion this movie inflicts on its viewers is what makes it a "hopeless romantics" dream. Almost every scene causes some kind of emotion to be felt by the audience—whether it's anger, sadness, or even love. The actors take partial credit for making this movie so emotionally provoking. First, is the way actors react to each other. They really make the audience believe they are in love—or upset with each other. Whether it's Tatum's shy smile to something McAdams says, the way McAdams gazes into Tatum's eyes, or the hurt in Tatum's face when McAdams doesn't recognize him. Every interaction between the two actors seems real—which helps make the movie come to life. Secondly, is how the actors play their own roles to a tea. McAdams does a great job playing the "confused girl" role. From her facial expressions to the believable uncertainty in her voice to the way she stands—her arms crossed in an insecure and scared way. Tatum also does a wonderful job playing the loving and needy husband by, for example, how he speaks softer when he's talking to McAdams. The impeccable acting is what helps viewers feel a part of the movie. The actors make the emotions feel so believable that the viewers take on the same emotions themselves. One of the most important aspects of the movie, though, is how the plot is arranged. The movies' beginning sets up an immediate emotional connection to Leo and Paige. People fall in love with the couple within the first few minutes of the movie and then are crushed when the tragic accident happens. This connection forces viewers to stay engaged in the movie to see what happens next to their favorite couple. The plot also keeps an important detail "hidden" throughout the movie until the end, which allows for a sense of surprise for viewers when they finally find out what has happened. This movie is probably not meant for everyone. Some people are not "hopeless romantics." Yet, this movie gives its viewers the opportunity to see a concept that is so widely known and yet is so rarely believed: "love conquers all." It's hard to watch this movie and NOT feel a connection to it. Viewers will want to dive right in and feel what the characters feel and see what the characters see. People will root for the good guy (Leo), boo the bad guy (Jeremy), and sometimes they will want to punch Paige in the face. They might cry, they will definitely laugh, and if at some point they don't get a little "love" feeling from the movie, there's something wrong with them.
Python Hyena The Vow (2012): Dir: Michael Sucsy / Cast: Channing Tatum, Rachel McAdams, Scott Speedman, Sam Neill, Jessica Lange: Romantic tear jerker that highlights the very commitment promised in marriage, and the fight to obtain it. Effective concept stars Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams as a young couple who are involved in an accident that leaves her in a coma. When she awakens she cannot remember the last five years of her life, including her marriage to Tatum. This becomes a struggle as he attempts to help her remember who she was, all the while spiralling into a predictable formula that often becomes corny. It really tests our intelligence during scenes where she differs from elements in her life that she previously enjoyed, such as the whole tickling bit. Then the film finds forgiveness in an ending that actually works better than not. The film is well directed by Michael Sucsy with terrific locations, but the strength of the film depends largely on its leads. Tatum delivers a strong performance as the owner of a recording studio who must figure out how to make his wife fall in love with him again. McAdams is equally strong as a woman trying to figure herself out. She remembers being a law student yet Tatum attempts to cue her into her transformation towards art. Weak supporting roles featuring Scott Speedman as that ex-boyfriend she was engaged to, and her conniving parents who do little more than meddle and pass judgement. Sam Neill and Jessica Lange are a total over the top embarrassment as the parents. It celebrates two hearts struggling to regain broken pieces. Score: 7 / 10
