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

Review of The Choice (2016)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for The Seattle Times (964) 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 (2016)

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…

Review of The Choice (2016)

By Gary Goldstein (1,089) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 04 Feb 2016

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

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

Review of The Choice (2016)

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