Michael Sucsy's (Grey Gardens) romantic drama The Vow is intended to lure couples wrapped up in the Valentine's Day season and looking for an excuse to hold hands. Unfortunately, not even Bridget Jones would willingly watch this movie on a lonely Saturday night. The hand-holding, heart-clutching, sigh-inducing kind of romance that The Vow aspires to be depends on one thing above all: scenes of dialogue brimming with chemistry. However, that chemistry is lacking in The Vow, and unfortunately, the only sighs the film prompts are those of frustration and boredom.
