Leave your thoughts about The Choice.
| The Film StageMichael SnydelThere’s a very good love story here, but it needed to be about one relationship, not the nature of romance itself. |
| AV ClubA.A. DowdAgain and again, Sparks takes the stuff of great four-hankie melodrama—love, death, cute dogs—and grinds it into a formulaic mush. Ask more of your paperback romances. At least ask for a different one each time. |
| Bowling Green Daily NewsMicheal ComptonA sappy, manipulative piece of work that feels like a live action Hallmark card. |
| TheWrapDave WhiteThe scenery is nice. Everything and everyone is very clean. Walker and Palmer, as the lovers, work with what little they’ve been given. But none of those elements are of any real consequence. There is no surprise, and there is nothing to care about. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfAfter spending five minutes with Travis and Gabby, serious thought paid to a monastic lifestyle is all but guaranteed. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekThere's not a single moment of emotional honesty in this latest helping of meretricious melodrama Nicholas Sparks, but that probably won't stop his fans from sighing and weeping over its ham-fisted mixture of giggly romance and cheap sentiment. |
| South China Morning PostJames MarshWhile The Choice certainly isn't for everyone, there is something refreshing to be wrung from such an unabashedly earnest and wholesome world view. |
| MediaMikesMichael A. SmithWhat makes this film a notch above other cookie-cutter Sparks adaptations is a strong cast |
| 3AWJim SchembriThe bottom line is that The Choice works. It knows what it is doing and who it is aiming for. Those who aren't interested in being swept up by romance and having their buttons pushed will know better than to buy a ticket. |
| Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)Brian GibsonThe Choice, hooked up to a sap-dripping IV, drifts through The Instant Attraction, eyelid-flutters through The Sudden Misfortune, and flatlines with The Miracle. Sparks-style, sadness is sanctified as the tear-distilled purity-essence of love. |
