The Vow
The Vow. 2012 (DVD 791.4372 Vow)
A cute couple falls in love, gets married, lives a life of bliss, then gets in a car accident and the wife loses her memory. It’s a story we’ve seen before, but maybe not with as attractive characters. This is based on a true story and love does conquer all in the end, as a classic rom-com should, but it is kind of flat. The “til death do us part” husband gives up a little too quickly and the amnesiac wife is not all that charming after her brain is addled. I kept thinking while watching this that Rachel McAdams was playing the same role she did in The Time Traveler’s Wife; the adorable artsy one-of-a kind charmer. You want them to end up together, but more so you want her to remember him and this epic love they shared. One of those happens, one does not. (Kim - Reader's Services)
