The film has a nice story, which becomes more and more watered down towards the end. Apparently that was the intention, because although the story was not finished according to the credits, the film is let out like a candle. Too bad, because there could have been a lot more, especially considering the good acting of Tatum and McAdams and the great chemistry between them.

Moreover, filmmakers should come up with something else to announce the end of a movie than copying the Chaplin/Goddard scene from Modern Times. We've seen that so many times now...

Had expected a melancholy film about someone who wakes up from a coma and suffers from amnesia, with all the clichés that go with it, so put it on with some reluctance. But the film turned out to be a lot lighter than I expected. Actually, I was only curious about Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum. For the ladies and gentlemen who have always wanted to know what Tatum's buttocks look like, this is your chance, 3 seconds in the picture. Tatum isn't a great actor or anything, but he has the right skills for action movies and this kind of romantic stuff.

The film itself looks nice, but the story is more like a meaningless rom-com, bouquet series-like. And people running through hospitals, a big movie cliché, here again. Someone ends up in hospital with serious injuries and sure enough.. the family comes running (usually at that moment a nurse or a doctor appears and stops them).

Still a moving final scene with Pictures of You by The Cure.

Unfortunately.

Interesting concept that offers room for a strong punch of sentiment. That's what the film is about, don't get me wrong. The main difference is that it doesn't feel like a really heartfelt, realistic film while The Vow clearly seems to be trying to make the film a bit more human. That just won't work very well.

The problem isn't so much McAdams doing what she can with the material she has. It's partly Tatum, who just isn't suited for this kind of role. I think he fits well in self-mocking and/or macho roles, as a real human character it's a bit more difficult. The sometimes total lack of expression makes the film with him in the lead role often difficult to appreciate.

Furthermore, there is quite an emphasis on provoking a reaction from the audience. All elements required for this are therefore used. The music, the sequence, the dialogues etc. It's all meant to draw you into the story, but unfortunately it just couldn't convince me. Maybe I've seen too many movies of this caliber, but the way The Vow does it just doesn't seem sincere to me.

It ripples along to sometimes interesting sequences and then ends just as often at mediocre sequences. The quality of the film changes constantly, but in the end I think the negative dominates the film. For a concept like this, there is simply not enough honesty being acted upon, so that it cannot draw out an ounce of sympathy from me. And that's a shame, of course, but it's no different.
