The Choice's reviews
Media reviews
Entertainment Weekly
'The Choice' feels like 'Mad Libs' with some of Sparks? laziest clichés ? a romantic rowboat, a colorful small-town carnival, a jealous upper-class boyfriend ? and the result is a predictable, recycled mess.
Chicago Sun-Times
'The Choice' is classic Sparks, and by that I mean it?s a mediocre, well-photographed, undeniably heart-tugging, annoyingly manipulative and dramatically predictable star-crossed romance.
Variety
Director Ross Katz?s 'The Choice', which mimics 'The Notebook' in everything but meaningful conflict, believable characters, style and emotional honesty, is a very unsuccessful story.
The Hollywood Reporter
'The Choice' is the cinematic equivalent of staring at a Hallmark Card for two hours.
The Wrap
The 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.
New York Times
Directed by Ross Katz and filmed like an ad for erectile-dysfunction medication, 'The Choice' is almost repellently synthetic.
