Je te promets

Je te promets remplit parfaitement les critères du « beau film romantique », ce qui est souligné par le fait que c’est basé sur une histoire vraie. Rachel McAdams complémente parfaitement Channing Tatut et prouve qu’elle ne se montre pas dans des navets. Je n’avais pas reconnu Scott Speedman, mais il faut dire que je n’ai regardé aucun Underworld depuis longtemps. Et j’apprécie énormément la façon dont les créateurs ont abordé le final ; on n’est pas vraiment habitués à ça non plus dans les films romantiques… (27/12/2013)

A great, sensitive and emotional drama. Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams are excellent, the chemistry between them works and the idea of a similar situation happening in anyone's life literally gives you chills. The helplessness, the uncertainty, and the rekindling of a relationship and love is well handled. I have nothing to fault, this is more than a decent crying drama. (28/12/2022)

A cloying "true life" film shot and through a worn romantic template, during which, however, I had a rodeo of chills on my back as the emotions rose, as if I, instead of Tatum, was the one going through the hole thing. And the culprit is neither the amateurish direction nor the slightly plankish Channing, but the divine Rachel McAdams, the most beautiful human creature under the sun, who once again took complete control of my defenceless senses for a hundred minutes. When she smiled, I was happy; when she cried, I was on the edge of my seat, and since all these feelings were amplified many times over by the powerfully pulsating mental development of Tatum's character, I was completely absorbed by the otherwise unoriginal story, with the fantastic first impression underscored by the unadorned and tasteful ending. But I’m an objective viewer after all, and that's why I'm sticking to 4* – though I'm saving my private thousandth stars for the moment when love will also throw a stick under my feet and I'll be able to seek loving comfort right here, with the cutest smile and never-giving-up lover.

An instant romance full of traditional creative clichés and mundane bullshit. The attempt to build on the success of The Notebook is blatantly obvious, but they would have had to choose an actor other than Channing Tatum, who delivers one of the worst performances. Average overall, with zero originality. In addition to the stalwart Rachel McAdams, Jessica Lange and Sam Neil save the day. (25/03/2017)

Rachel is the same as she's been so many times, but she just – in my opinion – can really pull off these types of heroines. I didn't mind Channing, but he didn't do anything groundbreaking. I don't think there was much to it. The film is kind of rambling, boring, messy, without much flavor. It didn't have any life to it, it stayed at the same level the whole time, where you were always waiting for some kind of change that never happened anyway. As I was watching it, I wasn't particularly enjoying it. And I had been very curious about it. So, the first disappointment of 2012. (19/04/2012)
