The Vow: A Film I Vow to Never Be Fully Satisfied With.

The Vow is one of those typical romantic movies that boys reluctantly took their girlfriends too go see as an obligation: that obligation being that it was Valentine's Day.  I went and saw this film the day after what some people would call THE worst holiday of the year with two of my friends. Now, I know that the movie is actually based on true events.  I loved the story, but I just absolutely loathed the ending.  There was really no resolve.  I'm not going to ruin it for anyone, but my friends and I were disappointed enough that we won't watch it again.  A: It ended too abruptly, and B: it was just too bittersweet.  I really didn't know what to feel except just down right angry.

The story is about a guy and a girl who find each other and fall in love.  The two are absolutely head over heels in love with each other, and they even get married.  However, tragedy unfolds, and everything changes within one night.  A truck hits the back of the car while the two are in it, and Claire (Rachel McAdams) wasn't wearing a seat belt, and suffered greatly from the accident.  She lost her memory, and loses all memory that she has with her dear husband Leo (Channing Tatum), and the wonderful life she had with him.  The story unfolds, and it's about her finding out why she leaves the other life she remembers, for the life that she forgot about and really wants to have back.

There were plenty of things that I really did like about the movie, though. Like Channing Tatum.  I really didn't like him all that much, until I saw this movie.  He's pretty much the whole package.  He's extremely handsome, very funny, musically inclined, and just so sweet. And I loved Rachel McAdams, too. But I have always loved her, and everything that she's done.  The chemistry between the two is really great, and I thought their relationship was so cute.  It was really the ending that made me so mad about the movie, though.  The casting was great, and the story was great...it was all about the ending.  The ending really did throw me off, and I just feel like they could of ended with something more than what it actually ended with.
