What I loved most: The whole courting process, restarted all over again

What a touching story. Forgetting all that you have loved, and the one who remembers...are the one that truly suffers. From going back to being a stranger, to work to win her heart all over again, through all obstacles...and heart pain. Truly touching as the movie bring the audiences through the whole process. A highly recommended movie to watch for all couples. Treasure the ones you love.

Love can never taste the same twice

What I loved most: Based on true story, typical yet beautiful love story

What I really hated: Typical romantic story that may appear a bit too dramatic

When I first saw the title of the movie, I was like: "It's gonna be another lovey-dovey story that will try to make you cry." And yes it was touching enough to make me sob in the cinema when I feel sorry for the guy who tried his best to win back the heart of his wife who lost memory of him and her recent past. It was at the point of her trying to change her way of living that she lost her memory of...and woke up only remembering her old self again. It was like the part in her life that she was trying to rediscover herself has been erased off her mind. If you are those enjoying touching romantic movies, this is certainly one you will fall head over heel in love with. However, I also love this movie not just about the romance in it but to see how the character in the movie pick themselves up after the car accident to change themselves in such a way to accept the post-accident change. The husband, who tried his very best to help her wife to recover her memory, only to realise it doesn't work. He gave up to help her regain her memory but instead to choose to pursue her and win her heart again like they have never met each other before. The wife, who finds comfort in doing her old things and refusing the help to regain her memory as she was afraid of the change she might get. But in the end, she chose to let her life flows naturally and realise she does want a change and realise all along she was right to choose art to rediscover her passion again. They fell in love again in the end of the movie with both seeing it as a new chapter all over.

What I loved most: Based on a real story

What I really hated: Sam Neil plays a cheating father

If this film is true, then it's a one-in-a-million love story. This is how true love should be but look around and you'll rarely see it. The guy and gal fall in love and they are a perfect match. They tie the knot. Unfortunately a car accident [they stopped at a stupid place to make love and to make a baby] leaves her in a coma. When she comes to, she cannot remember her husband but she can remember further back - like her parents, but not everything. Undaunted, he tries to win her heart all over again. But her father stands in the way. Apparently she quit law school to pursue her passion for scupting. She cannot remember that. She also left home because her father cheated on her mom, with her best friend. It gets complicated. Her mother stoically decides not to leave but to stay on because the family is her life. Eventually she finds out...and they start their love story from scratch (again). Not too bad but not great either.

Do you really appreciate your loved ones? Do you cherish every moment you have with your companion? What if one day he or she, has completely lost the ability to remember the years and milestones you have been through? Well, let "The Vow" take you through a turbulent relationship so strong, that it's definitely a source of inspiration that embodies the absolute meaning of true love.

Based on a true story of an American couple, "The Vow" is Golden Globe-winning director Michael Sucsy's directorial effort, which portrays the trials and tribulations faced by Leo (Channing Tatum) and Paige (Rachel McAdams) after surviving a car crash. Due to a brain trauma inflicted on Paige, she's unable to recount her romance with Leo, as well as their recent marriage which happened only a few months ago. Tragically sweet, Leo who then becomes a stranger to his wife, gives his best to win her heart back again one day at a time.

At a glance, the cast of the movie is without a doubt attractive enough to bring audiences deeper into the story. Tatum's funky but romantic portrayal of Leo has added in a rather pleasant charm for the character. Every little joke and touching move he makes especially for Paige, will in turn also make audiences fall for him.

McAdams's sweetness blends well with Paige's 'All-American girl' characteristics as she embodies the free-spirited woman who just wants to enjoy her life and do whatever she's looking forward to without caring what others think about her.

Set in Chicago, "The Vow" exhibits the lush landscape of the 'Windy City' as it takes one for a walk through the snowy Chicago streets, Lake Michigan, old railways and the Cloud Gate at the popular Millennium Park.

The melody of the soundtrack is also well-fitting of the movie, what with tracks like; Matt Pond's "Specks", Phosphorescent's "Nothing Was Stolen" and "Scott Hardkiss's "Come On Come On" which brings one on a heighted journey to accompany the roller-coaster ride the couple goes through.

"The Vow" has its unique and inspiring aspects which can teach lovers in learning how to not take moments with your partners for granted, as Leo says it best, "Life's all about moments of impact and how they change our lives forever. But what if one day, you could no longer remember any of them?"
