Co-written by Abby Kohn and Mark Silverstein (Never Been Kissed, He’s Just Not That Into You, Valentine’s Day), and based on a true story written by Stuart Sender, this is a bittersweet romantic drama that will likely appeal to viewers who enjoy Nicholas Sparks' tragic romantic dramas, films like The Notebook, Message in a Bottle, Nights in Rodanthe, The Last Song. For the rest of us, there may not be much of a payoff. While Channing Tatum plays Leo in a rather wooden, emotionless manner, it is Rachel McAdams' energy and passion that enliven the film and keep it from sinking. So, if you are a fan of Rachel McAdams, and you've enjoyed her in State of Play, The Time Traveler’s Wife, Sherlock Holmes, Morning Glory or Midnight in Paris, you will likely enjoy her performance in The Vow.
