Paige and Leo are happily married newlyweds, but their idyllic life together suddenly shatters when a car accident leaves her in a coma. When Paige awakes, she has severe memory loss and doesn't know Leo. She also has a confusing relationship with her parents and still harbors feelings for a former fiancé. Despite these difficult obstacles, Leo is determined to renew their bond and rebuild their marriage.

Critics Consensus

Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams do their best with what they're given, but The Vow is too shallow and familiar to satisfy the discriminating date-night filmgoer.

2/5

Some brief flashbacks show us that this couple was so in love that they’d roll the car windows UP when one of them farted (the insight of our romantic movies these days, I tell you).

C

The film isn't as bad as what it looks like--the Chinatown knockoff equivalent of a Nicholas Sparks movie--but that doesn't mean that those outside the target audience won't find it a painful experience.

2/5

An earnest and occasionally touching romantic drama that sweeps aside the devastating narrative potential of a traumatic brain injury to traffic in a more benign depiction of amnesia.

That hypothetical scenario is enough to choke anyone up, but it’s the true story that inspired The Vow and was brought to life by Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams.

3.0/4.0

A paint-by-numbers romance yet it is a paint-by-numbers romance that will work for those who surrender to it.

Rachel McAdams cruises merrily through The Vow as if she's humouring her co-star, the script and the audience.

This is the worst movie I have ever seen.

"The Vow" é um filme ideal para o Dia dos Namorados ou para um encontro romântico, porém, é demasiado banal e artificial para um cinéfilo comum.

Tiresome melodrama borefest. 50 First Dates without the charm. Yawn

This is emerging as a sleeper hit. Rachel McA's arc journey is fascinating, as is Channing T's attempts to cope with it. The last scene is brilliant.

Good chemistry, good heart, essentially predictable

As jay sad, knowing that its based on a true story makes some of the more odd elements easier to accept.
