Review For The Vow
Like a Nicholas Sparks novel with a dash of wit, a hint of edge and a smidgen less sap. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service The Vow is a welcome antidote to cynicism, and a bracing tonic that proves love hasn't disappeared from the film experience completely. Rex Reed-New York Observer The Vow makes the least of its concept, refusing to acknowledge that a love need not be perfect to merit holding on to. Nick Pinkerton-Village Voice The two stars look dewy and glossy and unexceptional, bound together less by chemistry than by the ministrations of a hard-working costume designer. Lisa Schwarzbaum-Entertainment Weekly 'The Vow' is inspired by a true and wonderful story, but that doesn't make the fictionalized version any less ridiculous. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com Tatum is unusually expressive; Speedman, both hiss-worthy and sympathetic. But McAdams is the real draw. Joseph M. Amodio-Newsday Ultimately the vision of love and marriage that is being presented here is a fairly routine, secular one, that it is love that binds us to a vow and not the other way around. Kenneth R. Morefield-Christianity Today "The Vow" might have been a decent film had the filmmakers taken the time to allow the characters to develop, or perhaps even if a better actor was cast in the lead. Jeff Beck-Examiner.com Thankfully The Vow spares us from all of that shakey-camera'd nonsense, but that's about all it spares us from. Kristal Cooper-We Got This Covered The Vow presents some fascinating challenges for Leo and Paige, yet without fail the screenplay comes up short in allowing them to overcome the obstacles in their paths. Mark Pfeiffer-Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema The 2004 Adam-Sandler-Drew Barrymore comedy 50 First Dates played retrograde amnesia for laughs, but The Vow, loosely inspired by the experiences of real-life couple Kim and Krickitt Carpenter, aims strictly for the tear ducts. Jason Best-Movie Talk The film is almost awe-inspiring in its unabashed embrace of a love so all-encompassing that Paige even treasures Leo's flatulence. (Seriously -- she rolls up the car window so the smell won't escape.) John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) So full of trite phrases, clichéd moments and uncool coolness (she has a tattoo on her back!), it's mind-wiping. I vow to forgive this movie, just to forget it faster. Brian Gibson-Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada) Execution is what really matters in B-movies, and as silly as it sounds, The Vow is a remarkably restrained, sweet little movie that never tugs so hard it becomes annoying. Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Neither particularly romantic nor comedic, nonetheless represents a middling love story that should suit most of its intended audience relying on the chemistry of its stars. Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah) One of those 'inspired by a true story' things as concerns its premise, but in reality it feels more 'inspired by Nicholas Sparks.' Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) The story of how Paige and Leo met is riddled with clichés Sam Bathe-Fan The Fire ...eventually morphs into a seriously tedious little drama... David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews Oh, was there ever an opportunity here. But it's easier to go the traditional route, I guess, than make waves. Linda Cook-KWQC-TV (Iowa) It gets bogged down in mopey melodrama and never quite recovers. Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing It's been designed as a female fantasy, a delivery system for bare pecs and caring glances. Margot Harrison-Seven Days Sweetly syrupy, filled with slick, heart-tugging, tear-jerking sentiment. Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate ... slickly efficient, buoyed by excellent performances ... Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review ( ... ) a clean-cut, modern drama with an unashamedly old-fashioned emphasis on the nature of true love. Graham Young-Birmingham Mail
