The movie: "The Vow"

When: Opening Friday at local theaters

Cast: Rachel McAdams, Channing Tatum, Sam Neill

Director: Michael Sucsy

The story: After his wife, injured in a car accident, awakens from a coma with severe memory loss, a young husband must work to win her heart all over again.

The buzz: Although they’ve never starred in a movie together before, McAdams and Tatum do have something in common: Each has headlined a heart-tugging Nicholas Sparks adaptation (McAdams in 2004’s "The Notebook," Tatum in 2010’s "Dear John").
