This is a typical Hollywood adaptation (read: complete rewrite) of a great book. This movie skews from the book so far it shouldn't be allowed to carry the same title. Basically the only part that stays consistent with the book is that they are in a wreck and she loses her memory. The book is encouraging and uplifting, showing the difficulties along the way. The movie tries to create fake drama outside of the obvious "her losing her memory" issue, and then ends horribly. SPOILER ALERT - The thing I just couldn't stand is that the book is clear that divorce was never an option, and even the title of the book/movie hints that this "Vow" should carry some weight, and yet the couple gets divorced in the movie. Completely unnecessary break from the true story. I guess that's Hollywood for ya.

There was an opportunity for this story to be more about there personal intimate love story. Instead they put more of the outside forces pertaining to them and left out a chunk of the srory leaving me wondering how, what, why .... Disappointing... Not "The Notebook" quality movie.

Yeah, I don't know where all of these 5 star reviews came from, but this movie was pretty terrible. The Notebook had all of the makings of a great movie, but this one was a combination of poor directing and a sub par screenplay. The story itself is touching, but the screenplay was the downfall here.
