The Vow

[katikat]

The Vow is such a wonderful movie and the fact that it's based on true events makes it even better, sweeter somehow. It made me laugh, it made me cry... but mostly, I was totally smitten with the way Leo loved Paige.

Channing Tatum was amazing in the role! He had his heart in his eyes every time he looked at Rachel McAdams' Paige. I FELT how much he loved her. Anybody who says that Channing can't act after seeing this movie, will be kicked in the kisser. When Leo told his friend that he was done trying to win Paige back, that she didn't love him anymore, I cried. Literal waterfalls. Channing was amazing in that scene!

And the great thing was that I didn't hate Paige. Yes, I felt more sorry for Leo, but it wasn't Paige's fault that she lost her memory and she did her best with the memories she had left and the information she was given, I didn't blame her. This is one movie where neither party is the guilty one and I loved the way she put her life back in order, that she learned how to stand on her own two feet on her own, that it was her decision to go back and ask Leo out, that she didn't let anyone or the circumstances force her into anything.

To sum it up: Wonderful movie. One of the best romances I've ever seen! No wonder it earned so much money.
