The Vow
Starring: Rachel McAdams, Channing Tatum, Jessica Lange, Scott Speedman, Sam Neill
Director: Michael Sucsy
Out: 10th February 2012 (U.S. Release Dates)
A car accident puts Paige (McAdams) in a coma, and when she wakes up with severe memory loss, her husband Leo (Tatum) works to win her heart again. This plot has similarities to The Notebook, which also starred McAdams, and that’s no accident given how popular it is. Channing is a bit wooden in the trailer and I get the sense his popularity with the ladies is starting to wane. Early screenings produced a so-so reaction.
Perfect Sense
Starring: Ewan McGregor, Eva Green, Connie Nielsen, Stephen Dillane, Ewen Bremner
Director: David Mackenzie
Out: 10th February 2012
Bleak Glasgow-set romantic drama about a chef (McGregor) and a scientist (Green) who fall in love as an inexplicable epidemic robs people of their senses one by one. Reviews have been mixed, with reaction ranging from “ambitious” and “moving” to “pretentious, with a wholly unnecessary voiceover”. The romantic plot is less significant than the trailer would have you believe.
This Means War
Starring: Tom Hardy, Chris Pine, Reese Witherspoon, Til Schweiger
Director: McG
Out: 14th February 2012
Two spies (Hardy, Pine), lifelong best friends, fall in love with the same woman (Witherspoon) and wage an epic city-wrecking battle against each other to win her. I’m not sure Reese Witherspoon would inspire that kind of behaviour from men. The unfairly maligned McG (Charlie’s Angels, Terminator Salvation) is directing. Good cast, fun concept, but as with any action-romance it may satisfy both genders, or neither.
