Critics Consensus

Like the 10 Nicholas Sparks movies before it, The Choice finds tragedy striking star-crossed lovers in the sun-dappled South -- yet even for those who loved its predecessors, this gauzy melodrama may feel painfully formulaic.

1.5/5

The Choice is another tired retread of Nicholas Sparks's favorite themes: good ol' Southern living, problematic women, and the specialness of love.

Sappy and corny, The Choice will either make you bawl your eyes out or dull you into a coma.

The thing that's particularly galling about his latest installment, The Choice, is that the script seems to think it delivers a sophisticated and witty battle of the sexes.

If you enjoy being manipulated and cry easily you make (or may not) enjoy the movie. That choice is yours.

I wanted to love it. And parts of it I did enjoy but they fell short and it felt rushed. But then when they did the whole disaster handling of the puppies they totally lost me! They get an F and 0 stars for that. Whoever was in charge of that should be fired.

Filme: A Escolha Assistido: 21-01-25 Elenco: @teresapalmer @findthewalker @tomwelling @maggiegrace @alexandradaddario Tom Wilkison Modelo: #romance #drama Duração: 1h 51m Ano: 2016 Minha opinião: Um filme gostoso de assistir e sentimos a química entre os atores Gabby (Palmer) e Travis (Wlaker), e eles dão toda a graça do filme e também ver o Super-Homem chifrudo também é cômico. E a ternura que transmite desde as brigas e discuções entre eles e isso se transforma em um amor tão forte que até mesmo quando Gabby fica em coma e todos falam para desistir o amor deles faz com que ela acorde e vivam felizes para sempre. O começo, temos o casal Gabby e Ryan (Tom) e o outro casal Travis e Mônica (Daddario). Mas tem que viajar para uma conferência e Monica também fica ausente por uns dias. E isso faz com que oportunidades Gabby e Travis se conhecerem emlhor graças ao cadela de Gabby e por Travis se veterinário e também vizinhos. Para rolar aquele clima e de se apaixonarem. Mas quando Ryan e Monica. Gabby e Travis confessam oque havia acontecido e quando Gabby vai embora Travis vai atrás e eles se casam. Tem 2 filhos, mas em uma noite Gabby sofre um acidente que a deixa em coma. Mas ela volta como em um milagre e todos vivem felizes para sempre. Roteiro e enredo genial, um roteiro simples, mas a magia dos atores Palmer e Walker fizeram toda a diferença neste filme, com foi de Bullock junto com Reeves em “A Casa do Lago” ou Kutcher com Peet em “De Repente é Amor”. Vale apena assistir? Sim Com certeza. E Acompanhado é melhor. Nota: 8,5
