The Vow
Directed by Michael Sucsy
Happy young married couple Paige and Leo are, well, happy. Then a car accident puts Paige into a life-threatening coma. Upon awakening she has lost the previous five years of memories, including those of her beloved Leo, her wedding, a confusing relationship with her parents, or the ending of her relationship with her ex-fiance. Despite these complications, Leo endeavors to win her heart again and rebuild their… From TMDB

Critics, per Wikipedia
Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film an approval rating of 30% based on 132 reviews and an average rating of 4.95/10. The site's consensus reads, "Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams do their best with what they're given, but The Vow is too shallow and familiar to satisfy the discriminating date-night filmgoer." On Metacritic, which assigns a weighted mean rating to reviews, the film received an average score of 43 out of 100 based on 28 critics, which indicates "mixed or average reviews." Emma Dibdin from Total Film gave the film a three-star rating out of five, commenting, "There's an essential sweetness at work here, thanks partly to McAdams and partly to an unusually…

Full convo as a podcast will post tomorrow.

neutral · AI labelView post →March 13 was the 30th anniversary of DOGME 95, and honestly I'm tempted to just grab some people, my old camcorder & microphone, and shoot something this summer according to the Vow of Chastity (aside from the film format being Academy 35mm, because I don't have thousands of dollars to waste).
neutral · AI labelView post →Mine was The Vow, which my 2 friends thought was a romance movie but all I saw was a horror, given the way the protagonist's family kept her partner away from her & filled her head with lies after she lost her memory in the accident, despite her longstanding estrangement from them for good reason! 👀
negative · AI labelView post →The Vow! I remember going with friends to see this in a movie theatre, expecting a romcom. Seeing a woman forget her chosen family & end up being manipulated by the biological family from whom she was estranged before amnesia was a fucking horror, as someone estranged from most biological family! 🙈

neutral · AI labelView post →The Vow is such an unrealistic movie like imagine waking up from a coma to find out you're married to Channing Tatum and not immediately turning into the Tex Avery wolf
negative · AI labelView post →I re-listened to a portion of the HBO documentary "The Vow," where Keith Raniere spoke before NXIVM's men's group "SOP," with women also in the audience, and even in his explicit words, the guy clearly hated women. It was straight-up manosphere misogyny with a thin film of feminist verbiage.
neutral · AI labelView post →That vote was rigged. They panicked the OAPs on pensions. 3 days as independent movement was winning. Never forget the Daily Record publishing the Vow on the front page. Scumbags and back stabbers and no different from the braveheart film... "Feeding off the scraps from Longshanks table"

positive · AI labelView post →Worst movie I ever saw in the theatre? The Host, and I've seen The Vow and Safe Haven
negative · AI labelView post →A movie written by Tracy Andreen & starring @JanelParrish & @DLissing? Sign me up!! I love that Tracy has specifically avoided movies like The Vow specifically because she had this idea & wanted it to be her own! Time for #ForgottenHoliday! @hallmarkchannel #CountdownToChristmas

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching "The Vow", it occurs to me that it would be a better movie without the first act where we see the accident. Start the movie in a hospital room, a woman wakes up after an accident, there is a strange man beside her bed who says he's her husband.

positive · AI labelView post →Well spoken. This is something I studied up close when I covered the trial of a cult leader, NXIVM, for the HBO docuseries The Vow (Season 2). Here are my notes: www.worldliteraturetoday.org/author/yahia... #cults #psychology #writingcommunity #documentary #film
neutral · AI labelView post →One day, a desperate Hollywood producer will advertise a Sci-Fi teen romance as a combination of The Notebook and The Vow. Disclosure is an overlooked Sci-Fi film. It's known as another Michael Douglas erotic thriller (like Fatal Attraction and Basic Instinct).
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s so fucking funny that in The Vow, the main dude’s earlier film “What The Bleep Do We Know” — essentially a propaganda reel for a *different* deranged far-right cult leader — is just presented uncritically as a seminal career triumph for him
neutral · AI labelView post →The Host. The film based on the book by the Twilight author. Even Safe Haven and The Vow shat all over The Host.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Vow is a very average romantic drama with a twist. From the beginning, I knew exactly what I was in for but it still managed to hook me. I was invested in our two leads relationship throughout the entire runtime. Their emotional chemistry was great and it was beautiful to see the two fall in love again. This story has a slight crinkle to the romantic film genre with our lead having a relapse in memory. I thought this subject was handled well, but the movie still manages to fit itself into…
positive · AI labelView post →I am watching season 2 of The Vow and the main takeaway is just how unlikeable almost everybody is. If I’m ever inducted into a management-training-cum-sex-cult I sure hope that at least some of the people involved aren’t just super fucking irritating. #thevow
neutral · AI labelView post →I've been watching #TheVow (docuseries about the #NXIVM cult), and it's been difficult at times because of the familiarity of so much of it as someone from an evangelical background. I mean the "curriculum" has #BillGothard and #IBLP written all over it so to speak. Anyway, the familiarity doesn't surprise me, but it's weird watching and going "that's classic cult behavior" and then thinking up half a dozen similarities with communities I've been exposed to. #CultDeprogramming #ReligiousTrauma
neutral · AI labelView post →Finished watching #TheVow. While season one was compelling albeit problematic (particularly in its credulous handling of Mark Vicente: "What the bleep did he know, and when the bleep did he know it?"), season two was more troubling. Nancy Salzman repeatedly compromises her narrative of victimhood, but the filmmakers let her sweep enough under the rug (ahem, $500k in cash discovered on the premises of her home) that the viewer has to ask similar questions about them: Dupes or accomplices? #nxivm
neutral · AI labelView post →#TheVow Season 2 is some of the best docuseries filmmaking I’ve ever seen. Really remarkable stuff, and right when it seemed like the genre writ large had traded substance for style. #HBO #NXIVM #TrueCrime
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching #TheVow about the #NXIVM cult makes you realize that sometimes it takes years for the truth to come out, but it always does. I give it 2 years before we really find out how depraved this Elmo guy really is.
neutral · AI labelView post →Wondering if anyone here is watching #TheVow about #nxivm Good documentary but I preferred Seduced
neutral · AI labelView post →The crazy thing about the HBO doc #thevow is how much access they got. They follow and interview the victims, the perpetrators, the defense and prosecution lawyers, defenders and ex-members of Nxivm. How did they do it?
neutral · AI labelView post →….Continued (still ominously) #Fanfic (reading not writing, I can’t form coherent sentences) #Podfics (listening not narrating, I have a really grating accent) #LastPodcastontheLeft (hail satan) #TheVow (watching as new sn 2 eps get released and wow this stuff is wild) #ObscureInternetStuff (that tweet from a few days ago that everyone liked about having to cancel plans because a YouTuber posted a 4 hour long #VideoEssay on something you’ve never heard about before? Same.)
