Review of The Choice (1976)

By David Lewis (299) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 04 Feb 2016

The Choice has a twist or two toward the end, and they’re about as cheaply maudlin as the movies get…

Review of The Choice (1976)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 04 Feb 2016

What grates is the lack of attention to details. There is a grating sloppiness to much of The Choice, both narratively and stylistically…

By Dustin Putman (2,479) for TheFilmFile.com (2,314) on 04 Feb 2016

The Choice aims to pull its audience's heartstrings—really, this is its only aim—but each narrative step is so rigidly prefabricated…

Review of The Choice (1976)

By Eric Henderson (366) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 04 Feb 2016

Most Nicholas Sparks adaptations say, in cinematic terms, nothing so complicated as roses are red. This one just points to a garden and shrugs…

Review of The Choice (1976)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 04 Feb 2016

It delivers the goods, such as they are, but sometimes it seems like it's gone rogue and realized these movies are best treated as jokes -…

Review of The Choice (1976)

By Simi Horwitz (83) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 04 Feb 2016

Unendurably dull-minded, sentimental soap features good-looking actors who give it their best shot…

Review of The Choice (1976)

By Jeannette Catsoulis (1,537) for New York Times (5,786) on 04 Feb 2016

Directed by Ross Katz and filmed like an ad for erectile-dysfunction medication, The Choice is almost repellently synthetic…

Review of The Choice (1976)

By Tom Russo (407) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 04 Feb 2016

In the end, though, the film disappointingly, even lazily, shies away from being anything more than you’d expect…

Review of The Choice (1976)

By Sandra Hall (505) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 04 Feb 2016

Hollywood has devised a uniquely gruelling rite of passage for its aspiring young stars. It's the Nicholas Sparks movie…

Review of The Choice (1976)

By Paul Byrnes (441) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 04 Feb 2016

Teresa Palmer and Benjamin Walker bring more conviction than their roles deserve. It is really not much of a compliment to say the scenery is nice…

Review of The Choice (1976)

By Jim Slotek (879) for Toronto Sun (419) on 04 Feb 2016

The result is something with all the worst traits of a standard Hollywood romance, predictability, zero drama and, in this case, a misleading title…

Review of The Choice (1976)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 04 Feb 2016

There's not a single moment of emotional honesty in this latest helping of meretricious melodrama Nicholas Sparks, but that probably won't…

Review of The Choice (1976)

By Leah Pickett (132) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 04 Feb 2016

Palmer is an appealing screen presence, and Walker is passable in his crying scenes, but together they're as bland as the lines they often…

Review of The Choice (1976)

By Nell Minow (2,357) for Beliefnet (937) on 04 Feb 2016

The surprises are not as surprising to us as they are to the characters. But there is something gentle about the story that is undeniably captivating…
