Movie Review

"Life is all about the moments,of impact and how they change our lives forever.

But, what if one day you could no longer remember any of them" (Leo, The Vow). Trying

to make someone fall in love with you maybe very difficult especially when they don't

remember anything about you. When you make a vow to your significant other, you

promise to stand by his or side till death do you part and that is what this man strongly

stay loyal to his wife because he believed in true love. When you love someone so

hard to realize that his wife does not remember him or the memories they have shared

together in the past. Only memories she is capable of remembering is being in law

school because of her father and engaged to another man (Jeremy) who played by

Scott Speedman. Living in the pretty perfect world is what she had remembered, Paige

had it all until drama happened with her family. When she was with Leo, she was doing

what she loved to do and that was art. She was happy and comfortable in her own skin

when she was married to Leo. Feeling the way Leo feels is very unfortunate. In the

movie, " The Vow", Leo says, " How do you look at the one you love and tell yourself its

time to walk away."

Doing anything and everything to make the same person fall in love with you all

over again. In The Vow, Leo states he needs to make his
