As a person who has not seen “Titanic” or “The Notebook,” actually sitting through, let alone paying to watch, a love story is unheard of. I walked into “The Vow” just looking forward to watching Channing Tatum, but after seeing this movie I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it.

Leo (Tatum) and Paige (Rachel McAdams) are married after meeting four years ago. One night on their way home from a show, they are rear-ended, causing Paige to experience severe memory loss. Paige can not remember the past five years of her life. She does not remember that she is married to Leo but instead thinks that she is still in love with her ex-fiance Jeremy (Scott Speedman). Leo spends the entire movie trying to make his wife fall back in love with him, and Paige spends time trying to re-discover who she is.

The movie has a nice balance of comedy, sappy romance and sad moments. Tatum and McAdams do a very nice job acting together, and they have a good connection on screen. I also find it interesting that the movie was based off of a true story.

I enjoyed the movie and the storyline despite the fact that there wasn’t really a climax. Paige loses her memory within the first 20 minutes of the movie, and the pace after that was slow. However, the insight into Paige’s past kept it interesting. I thought the actors did a really good job of showing the emotional stress between the characters. However, since there was not a climactic point, the ending was abrupt.

I enjoyed this movie for the plot, emotions and, quite frankly, looking at Channing Tatum.
