Critic Reviews
-
Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Like a Nicholas Sparks novel with a dash of wit, a hint of edge and a smidgen less sap.
-
Rex Reed, New York Observer
The Vow is a welcome antidote to cynicism, and a bracing tonic that proves love hasn't disappeared from the film experience completely.
-
Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice
The Vow makes the least of its concept, refusing to acknowledge that a love need not be perfect to merit holding on to.
-
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
The two stars look dewy and glossy and unexceptional, bound together less by chemistry than by the ministrations of a hard-working costume designer.
-
Richard Roeper, Richard Roeper.com
'The Vow' is inspired by a true and wonderful story, but that doesn't make the fictionalized version any less ridiculous.
-
Joseph M. Amodio, Newsday
Tatum is unusually expressive; Speedman, both hiss-worthy and sympathetic. But McAdams is the real draw.
-
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
As usual, Channing Tatum looks sweet and dull and, in most scenes, slightly confused.
-
Jennie Punter, Globe and Mail
The kind of featherweight fare that is enjoyed in the moment and forgotten soon after the end credits roll.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
It's pleasant enough as a date movie, but that's all.
-
Sara Stewart, New York Post
Sucsy works within the trappings of a typical cheesy romance but finds realism in the details and the banter.
