Story: It's a picture perfect life for recently married Leo and Paige. Till one unfortunate event changes their lives forever. Will the two manage to re-live the vow, now that they are to start from scratch?
Movie Review: Wedding disasters, they say, have a way of turning into great stories eventually. And wedding vows? Well, to greater love stories, specially when it involves the likes of Leo ( Channing Tatum) and Paige (Rachel McAdams) who (in The Vow) are seen falling into love all over... and over again.
Paige, a rebel in her own right, chooses to walk away from home and friends, simply to live life on her own terms. And that's when she falls for the not-so-successful Leo, gets married and makes it a point to dine with him on every snowy, winter night. Just the time when ill fate strikes -- she meets with a near fatal accident... is luckily back into action but without any memory of her love for Leo. Time for Leo to make his lady love fall for him again. Easy? Not really.
The formula The Vow applies to make one fall in love all over again is simple: Moments! Moments is what one needs to relive.... Moments of impact define who we are. As for your moments of romantic bliss, there are a couple of 'aaaahhh' moments, though felt after long gaps. Case in point, Channing Tatum's Leo who first is seen as the epitome of patience trying to get his wife to follow the normal routine till he ultimately refuses to be her punching bag. Not to miss is his struggle doubled with his wife's mean parents and ex fiancee, Jeremy's ( Scott Speedman) re-entry into her life. Next is Rachel McAdams as the blanked out wife who just can't understand why she chose to marry a struggling musician. Greencard, perhaps! We, however, wish there were a few more 'moments' to carry back home....
