The Choice (2016)

Sick Product of a Sick System

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Wonderful feel good movie about love and choises in life.

I'm 38 minutes (wasted and unable to relive) into this mess. Where do I start... Oh! I know! How 'bout this - dialogue that is so Hallmark movie laden that I'm laughing out loud at! So very predictable. And so poorly written. Yes,it's that bad, folks. But wait, there's more! The newly born "puppies" are for SURE weaned and probably eating solid food at the time. Quite a stretch to foist off on the viewers. At this point in the film I'll give some kudos to the cinematographer for at least doing their job because it certainly looks okay. Good even! But oh. That story, execution, and the absolutely horrible dialogue.... I feel sorry for the actors given the task of making this watchable. And I could almost sense they felt it too. Oof. Avoid. You've been warned and will thank me later.

If you are ever in the mood for some tear-jerking romance and drama, The Choice, is the movie for you. The movie is based off of the Nicholas Sparks novel, The Choice. It takes place in the most romantic setting, a small coastal town, and it is full of young love. The Choice is about a man named Travis Shaw, played by Benjamin Walker, who is a cool, easy going, and good looking man, who is currently in an "off and on" relationship with his high school girlfriend, but is not ready for commitment. Gabby Holland, played by Teresa Palmer, is a stubborn young medical student, with a long time boyfriend, who recently moves into the house next door to Shaw. At first the two don't get along, because of Travis's smug and egotistical nature and Gabby's fiery and stubborn mindset. However, over time the two start to grow fond of each other, and they will have to decide whether or not their love is real and if they will be together. Directed by Ross Katz, The Choice is a well acted, heart warming, romantic drama between main characters, Travis Shaw and Gabby Holland, who will have to make a decision on whether or not their love is worth fighting for. The Choice is a great movie because of its well selected cast. I think that Ross Katz, the director, along with screenplay writer, Bryan Sipe, did a great job making the film come together as a whole. They choose very talented group of actors and actresses to make the movie come to life. In the film, Benjamin Walker played the lead male role, Travis Shaw, and Teresa Palmer played the lead female role, Gabby Holland. This talented duo was able to bring out the unique personalities of their characters. They both did an amazing job at making it seem like their feelings for each other grew gradually throughout the film, and the connection between the two characters was incredible. The love they had for each other, draws the viewers in and makes them feel connected to the film. The Choice also had great drama scenes. At the beginning of the movie, you can already sense that there is tension between Travis and Gabby, and as the film progresses you can still feel the tension building between the two, even after they begin to fall in love. When things between them are at a high, Gabby and Travis will be forced to make a choice that will affect whether or not their love is worth fighting for. I think that Nicholas Sparks writing really came alive through the film. Each dramatic scene was acted and planned so perfectly that the drama that was woven into the romance of the story, putting the viewers at the edge of their seat. The Choice was also very heartwarming. Throughout the film, there is definite growth within the characters as individuals. Supporting roles like Stephanie Shaw, Travis's sister, played by Maggie Grace, and Monica, Travis's girlfriend, played by Alexandra Daddario, have important and heartwarming moments together that help to shape him into a even better man. The transformation and growth of character relationships in the film was also amazing. As the love between Travis and Gabby grow, the more intimate moments they have together. The relationship between the two is so full of love that it will touch your heart. Overall, I think that The Choice is a great movie. It has great actors that makes the movie come to life, and it is full of dramatic and heartwarming scenes. It is hands down one of my favorite movies, because I love how even though there's ups and downs in the relationship in the movie, it still somehow seems perfect. The Choice is an amazing movie for teenagers or adults, it will keep you at the edge of your seat but also touch your heart.

I have read the book before watching movie version. And I really like it. I mean there were some differences but the movie did it very well. The differences made it looked like we read new chapters of the choice. It still touched my heart though. It's short and not taking too much time to get going like in the book. Recommended!!
