Skunkyrate Gripping story with well-crafted characters

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

wilsonchieng Can't say anything bad about this movie. This movie itself is a memory to me, watching it over and over again just reminds me of the good old days. This movie is so beautiful, and iconic about how love should be regardless of how horrible the circumstances are. P.S thanks for searchin me up <3

Jack Vasen Other than the facts that this almost newly-wed couple was in a serious car accident that nearly killed her and did take away her memory of the marriage, this story is nothing like the true story. There is one other similarity, but it is near the end and still not quite like the true story. I guess for Hollywood, you have to have villains, which reality had none of in this case. Personally, I think the differences make it a completely different story. However, the real life characters, according to their book, are not as disappointed. For the inaccuracies, I take away 4 stars. Make it more like the book and it is an extremely touching story. 8 stars. I always like Rachel McAdams (except maybe Mean Girls and you were supposed to hate her). In this movie, she was a woman you could root for, but she either didn't, or wasn't allowed to, play the wife's confusion strongly enough. (Maybe time compression was the factor in that.) Paige was also not as committed to the vow as in real life. Channing Tatum did a good job of maintaining Leo's integrity and faithfulness.

khart-15185 Just watched this movie for the first time. Overall a good movie. Didn't quite like the ending. I understand it was based on a true story but it is a movie so it could be just a little different in order to pull a bigger audience. Extremely disappointed that Paige didn't recover her memory. I was waiting for that spontaneous moment that she suddenly remembered everything and came running back to Leo. Not a movie that I would watch for a second or third time. Overall I think this movie lacked drama and character. For instance why was it suck a big deal that her father cheated. Yes I understand the pain but to stop speaking to your entire family for five years when it wasn't anyone's fault but your fathers. Could have been written a little better. But like I said it is a true story, but things could have been twisted up a little just for the purpose to pull a little more attention and drama to the plate.

Indiajolly-175-308695 In this romantic drama Channing Tatum plays Leo, and Rachel McAdams plays his wife Paige. The couple gets into a car accident and Paige suffers amnesia. Many people who reviewed this movie are saying this is just the basic "chick flick", but why does that matter? In my opinion there is nothing wrong with these so called "chick flicks". People always find romantic movies predicting and boring. I personally like some predictable movies. To me movies like this are kind of like living your own fairytale throughout other people's lives. The fact that this movie was based on a true story made it even better to me. This movie uses drama and acting to keep your attention. Some reviewers argue that there is not good chemistry between the actors but a lot disagree. I think that there was great chemistry between these two actors. When it flashes back and shows how the two of them met is a great place they show chemistry. You can tell that they are having a great time in this flash back, and it really gives you an idea of when they started to fall in love. I think that Channing and Rachel did a great job with this.The other thing that I have seen people comment on is the emotion, and how it lacked in both of the main actors. I think that Rachel McAdams has done a great job in this movie with her emotion, just like in the Notebook. It would be hard if you woke up, and did not remember anything going on in your life. I think she was very convincing with her acting and emotion. She did a great job showing the struggle it would be to deal with all of it. Rachel's facial expressions and the emotion she puts behind her acting makes you feel like she is actually the one going through all of this. Channing Tatum also does a great job with his emotion, and not giving up no matter what it took to win her back. After being turned down time and time again he never gives up. Not to mention how he shows how hurt he was with this terrible tragedy. He convinces me with the love he shows for Paige with his determination and sincerity.However, I do agree there are a few parts of the movie that could have been better. For instance, the scene with the car accident could have been made a little more believable. I felt that it looked really fake. The way that they accident happened did not really make it that believable to me. Also, the way that Paige got so hurt looked very unrealistic when happening. This scene was in slow motion, which I think usually adds to the affect; however, I think that it seemed to hurt it this time. I think that camera angle could have also been changed at the end. At the beginning it was close up and at the end it was more of an overview. I think that when it was close up it seemed more realistic, because it felt more like you were there. The last thing I wish would have been changed was the ending would have been a little different, but it still worked for me. Even with these little things I still loved this movie. Overall, I thought this was a great movie. From the beginning of where it shows the car accident, and how they met, to the end, it kept my attention. I loved the plot, acting, and the fight for love. This is one of my all time favorites. The true story behind it all with all of the emotion put into the acting was outstanding. This "chick flick" earns a high rating in my opinion.
