Highly unoriginal and we've seen this before this. The Choice had one job... IT HAD ONE JOB!!! AND IT SCREWED THE JOB UP! Good job, The Choice, good job.

The worst Nicholas Sparks film to date. The romance is unbelievable, the characters don't age over a span of seven years, and every line of dialogue that comes out of people's mouths sounds incredibly fake.

Another film that comes out early in the year that's yet another disappointment. A cliched love story. But c'mon we saw this one coming. The cast I guess was fine, but the whole film seems like it's just checking off things on the checklist.

The only reason I gave this film a fair shot was because Tom Welling was in it.

When I watched this film, I found that out of all three lead characters, Travis, Ryan and the woman playing Travis' love interest, Tom Welling's character Ryan, was the only interesting character in the entire film. He should have been the lead character, which would have made the audience and critics alike realise its full potential. He was the only saving 'Grace' for this film. This film has extremely predictable and clichéd storyline like many other films like this one that carries a boy meets girl premise. Have watched a couple of other of Nicholas Spark's produced works to compare, and they all start and end the same way, with the same thing. I guess you can't blame the guy for making 'The Choice' for sticking to a particular style and boring all of us back to death.

If you're going to present me with a film about characters making the hard choices, then I would suggest you pick a better premise than this predictable garbage.

In the end, the writer does little or nothing to challenge himself, and as a producer of what he's written should have asked himself why would we the audience want to watch this film when there is a pantheon of other films that do the same. Get your act together, Nicky. You're losing it, man.… Expand

My first thought on this film? if you like looking at cute puppies then you might enjoy this film, as there are a fair few in it. Its a pretty basic plot, a bit of an adolescent chick flick - an alright watch. There are some cliches presentMy first thought on this film? if you like looking at cute puppies then you might enjoy this film, as there are a fair few in it. Its a pretty basic plot, a bit of an adolescent chick flick - an alright watch. There are some cliches present but also a few relatively sweet moments too. However, I struggled to accept the ending, which seemed a bit unlikely and by the end of it, I wondered what the point was in it frankly, so its fair to say it did spoil the film for me really. It was too sentimentalised for my likes.

Would I recommend it? No. There are undoubtedly less predictable, better films of this type around.… Expand

This movie is so **** dog **** it's offensive.

Director has never heard the word pacing, plot is so obvious (they were basically dating in the first five minutes... in a supposed will-they-wont-they movie... you can't make this **** up, these people couldn't make a movie if one dropped in their lap), dialogue was written by someone who has never interacted with a human.

Awful, just awful. Waste of time.… Expand
