Product Description Inspired by a true story, The Vow tells the tale of a husband (Channing Tatum) who must regain the love of his wife (Rachel McAdams) after a coma steals the past five years of her memories. .com Can true love really conquer all? That is the question hovering over the genuinely touching, affecting drama The Vow. Based on a true story (which itself might have made a great documentary), The Vow is a showcase for the splendid acting talent of Rachel McAdams and a breakthrough role for Channing Tatum, under the deft direction of Michael Sucsy (the feature version of Grey Gardens). The story is deceptively simple: Happy young married couple Paige (McAdams) and Leo (Tatum) are, well, happy. Then a car accident puts Paige into a life-threatening coma, and upon awakening, she finds she has lost the previous five years of memories--including of being married to, or ever in love with, her beloved Leo. With lesser actors or with a more heavy-handed director, The Vow might have been predictable, melodramatic, or flat--and yet, the talents of the two stars, and the crisp, light-handed direction, make The Vow an enjoyable, deeply affecting love story. McAdams is as winning as always, reminiscent of her early work in The Notebook, and here, as a brunette, channeling a young Jennifer Garner. But it's Tatum on whose shoulders The Vow must succeed, and he is a revelation. His persona as a tough guy's guy is perfect here, as a "softer" actor would have led The Vow straight into Lifetime Movie Network territory. The viewer relates to Leo, including his obvious frustration, discomfort, and even moments of terror. Sam Neill and Jessica Lange (who glowed in Sucsy's Grey Gardens) make memorable supporting appearances. But it's McAdams and especially Tatum who make The Vow the believable, delicate, and loving journey it is. --A.T. Hurley

A major tear jerker of a movie yet a widely great romantic movie!!!!!
I had seen this movie before but cannot recall much of it yet bits and pieces though I remember it was based on a true story of a couple who went through the same thing but they re older than the couple Leo & Paige Collins in the movie.To start Paige and Leo (five years into their marriage) come out of a theater in wintery Chicago and Leo makes a comment about the snow being more than an inch yet Paige says its beautiful then they get to their car and well the rest but how that accident happened was a salt truck with no plow on the front plows into their car, Leo with the seat belt on is okay (minor bumps and such.) yet Paige on the other hand is sent flying through the windshield and lands on the hood of the car. After Paige wakes up in the hospital; she has no memory whatsoever of the last five years she had; as in leaving law school, breaking up with her ex-fiance Jeremy, also finding out about her father's affair with a friend of hers as well. None of that is in her memory even about being married to Leo and attending the Art institute of Chicago along with living with him in downtown Chicago on the north side no less. Both Leo and Paige try to recollect as much as they can of her memories (pictures and other things.) throughout this movie but its when Leo realizes at Paige's sister Gwen's wedding that he cannot do it anymore; that he just gives up as in throwing in the towel because her memory of being with him and everything is completely gone never gonna come back yet later on in the movie Paige makes some startling discoveries about her father's affair with Paige's friend, how her mother didn't want to leave him along with that Paige confesses to her dad (played by the greatest actor: Sam Neil.) about wanting to leave law school and attend the Art Institute of Chicago and get an apartment in downtown Chicago as well. She also again breaks up with (now boyfriend not fiance.) Jeremy as well. I gotta say this movie will have you on your seat from the start to the very end and they've also got deleted scenes plus a majorly funny gag reel in which I must admit is hilarious!! This movie is a must see for anyone who is a couple and romantic!!

Seller is good. Movie is not.
The seller is good. It's a good quality Blu-ray disc, but the movie is not great. Channing Tatum is not a good actor and his character is really impatient and annoying. I thought it was going to be a good romantic movie, but it was more frustrating than anything. Rachel McAdams is amazing, as always, but that isn't enough to save this one in my mind. I wouldn't buy it again. I gave it four stars because I didn't want my opinion of the movie to negatively affect the seller. The movie was 2.5 out of 5.

Great romantic movie on DVD with digital copy for streaming
I love this movie. My only complaint is that the speaking parts tend to be too low a volume, so I have to crank up the television and turn on closed captioning to understand certain parts. I hate it when movies do that, as then other parts will blast you out.This movie is about a woman who has a brain injury from a car accident. The accident leaves her with no memory of the last 5 years, including meeting and marrying her husband. Five years ago, she fit in with her rich crowd. But the decisions she made with her life changed her and brought her to her husband. She makes the same decisions the second time around, but her husband has to wait until she becomes the person that he knew before they can share a life together again.This movie came with an UltraViolet (UV) digital version, which is a plus. This means that you can put it in the cloud and stream it via your smart TV or a Roku device (which is attached to your tv) or other streaming device. You can also access UV movies by watching them on your laptop or tablet. (The UV offer may change, so check the verbage on the product page to make sure that the movie still comes with a digital copy.) I am currently only purchasing movies with UV copies, so that way I don't have to dig through my Blu-ray or DVD collection to find a movie to watch. But I still have the hard copy to watch when I lose internet connection due to storms, etc.My other complaint is not with the movie, but that Amazon dropped the price right after I purchased the movie. But for under $5, you get the DVD and the digital copy, which is a great deal.
