The Vow

'The Vow' was about an unexpected event between an engaged couple, Leo and Paige. Paige lost her all memories with Leo. She does not understand why she left law school, broke her engagement with her previous fiancé, Jeremy, and why she had not been in touch with her family and friends. Her parents insisted her to go back to their home, but Leo found a voice message of her very happy and romantic. Paige decided to go back with Leo, hoping it will help her regain her lost memory. When her parents invited Leo and her to a dinner, Leo did not fit in with her family and friends. However, he persisted in his attempts to help her regain her memory, but Paige was more driven to learning why she left law school and broke her engagement to Jeremy. The relationship was further strained when Paige's dad trie to persuade Leo to divorce his daughter, and by Leo punching Jeremy for talking about chances to bed his wife. Paige rejoined law school and Leo signed divorce papers. She realized why she had made those decision before she had amnesia, when meets an old friend. Paige, while in class, started sketching, so she continued her interest in art. She also turned Jeremy down. The movie ends with an open-ending where Paige met Leo again.

The movie was touching, because even though Paige never regained her memories, she still found her way back to Leo. The movie was about self realisation, and exploring things you really want to do. It expresses a lot about finding the self you want to belong to. This is an ideal movie for couples, as it sends an important message that love is about treasuring and supporting each other. The chick-flick fans may also add this movie into their collection. Personally, the movie was alright, it was not exciting that's why it was not fantastic.

Rate: 6.8/10
