The Vow (2012)

Overall Rating: 9/10

Quick Summary: Based on a true story, a woman (Rachel McAdams) wakes up not remembering her husband (Channing Tatum), and he has to try to win her back.

Review: I loved this movie. I keep wondering what I would do in this situation. The movie makes you keep thinking about it several weeks after its over. I think casting Rachel and Channing together was also amazing because they had such good chemistry.

Which show/movie does the same idea but better? There are a few soap operas that use the plot of amnesia, but I think this is my favorite amnesia story.

Could this happen realistically? This did happen, but of course the movie exagerates and dramatizes the story a lot. There are pictures of the real couple at the end.

Can my kids watch this? Yes...but there are a few areas where language is a problem. I would say if your kids are 12+, that would be a good age-range.

Explicit Content (Without Spoilers):

- Sexual: (4/10)

There is some kissing and making out, but I think it's only 1-2 parts for like 10 seconds.

A dude is naked at one point, but it doesn't show anything except him being in a towel.

- Violence (4/10)

There is a pretty traumatic car crash, but there isn't blood or anything.

- Language (2/10)

I do believe there are a handful or curse words. Language is why this is rated PG-13.

- Drug Use (1/10)

There is alcohol.

Side note for section below: If you are having to cover your kids eyes for most of the movie, wouldn't it be better to watch a different one that they can actually watch?

Scenes to Cover your Kids' Eyes (With Spoilers): 

- After the guy takes his wife back to the apartment, the girl wakes up to find her husband naked the next morning (but nothing is shown.)
