Movie Review: The Vow

The Vow actually ended up not being as sappy as I thought it was going to be. I seriously thought it was going to be another "50 First Dates" movie--very cheesy, very unreal. However, it was truer to life than expected. The ending wasn't all tied up in a neat little bow. Everything was not peaches in cream and perfect. Which is great! Because even though as I writer I may want to tie up loose ends, that isn't how life is, and it doesn't always make for a great story. Sometimes, a little pain, a little uncertainty is what one needs to connect and make a satisfying end, because even if you don't have all the answers, isn't that what life is?
