If this isn't based on a Nicholas Sparks book, it should be. The concept of the story was okay, I guess. It's about a super artsy couple who gets into a very bad car accident, and the wife has serious brain damage, to the point that she does not remember her husband at all. I think the problem with this movie is that, despite his ridiculously stunning good looks, Channing Tatum is simply not a good actor. I'd go as far as to say that he is horrendous. He is bland and plays the same character in every movie. Just put him in an army uniform and BAM! "Dear John." Also, I'm one hundred percent over Rachel McAdams being a bitch in movies. It has been way overdone and she needs to start accepting different kinds of roles. The film overall was interesting because I couldn't get past the fact that if I woke up from a coma with Channing Tatum standing over me telling me that he was my husband, I wouldn't act really strange and dismissive towards him. I would be psyched, let's be honest. Anyway, I can't recommend this movie at all. The trailer was intriguing, but showed the entire movie, and you don't have to pay to see the trailer. If you want a cheese ball love story, at least watch "The Notebook," which has some kind of substance. I'm not going to lie, I kind of wish it took a Quentin Tarantino approach, or something to spice it up. This was a poor excuse for a love story, and just because it is "inspired by true events," doesn't mean it makes for a good movie.
