Author Nicholas Sparks creates another winner with his book “The Vow.” Director Michael Sucsy created a brand new masterpiece out of Sparks’ book. The movie “The Vow” was released in theaters Feb. 10.
The movie starts out with two lovebirds leaving a movie theater. As they are driving home, they decide to pull over for a little fooling around when a truck rear ends them and makes Paige (Rachel McAdams) fly out the windshield.
The couple ends up being sent to the hospital where Leo (Channing Tatum) finds out that his wife has lost her memory of the past four years, including meeting and falling in love with him. Not only does she forget Leo, but she also has forgotten the reason she hasn’t spoken to her family in years. Her last memories were of her being a student in law school and being engaged to an egotistical attorney, while in reality she is a sculptor and is married and in love with Leo.
Since she doesn’t remember the past four years of her life, when she gets out of the hospital she goes back to living her life like she was before she dropped out of law school. She moves back in with her parents and falls back into her old life, while Leo desperately tries to get her to remember her life with him and get her to fall back in love with him.
He proceeds to take her to places that they used to go to often and they do things that were a part of their regular lives. Just when it seems as though Paige might fall back in love with him, she gets scared and runs back to her parents.
A shocking secret of her parents leads her to go back to being an artist and to begin to trust Leo again.
The audience sits through the whole movie waiting for that moment when Paige’s memories of her past come flooding back to her. Although the movie was slow at times, the slow parts were worth sitting through for the outcome.
This new movie was based on a true story and it shows the difficulties of memory loss and having to find love again with someone who seems like a complete–but handsome–stranger.
This fantastic movie made $15.4 million on its first night at the box office and deserves its four and a half out of five star rating. This movie could easily be recommended to anyone who is a fan of Nicholas Sparks or anyone who is simply a fan of chick flicks.
