I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
The Worst Film Ever
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
I don't usually dislike Nicholas Sparks' movies. Yes, they're way too cheesy and romantic... but isn't that the reason we like them? This one though goes a bit too far. Girl meets a boy she doesn't even like and the day after she's cheating on her boyfriend with him. She also go and meet the guy's family while the aforementioned boyfriend is away on business. Boyfriend comes back, finds out everything, gets mad and leave. The day after he asks the girl to marry him. If this wasn't already unrealistic enough, the guy asks the girl to marry him too. It has been what, three weeks at most? After all this, the second part of the movie begins. The girl and the guy are now happily married, but she gets into a car crash and consequently into a coma. The guy is left alone with his two kids and the choice whether to get her off the machines that keep her alive. In my opinion, this part is better than the first one but at that point I was expecting so many improbable events to happen that I wasn't surprised when the girl woke up (after it was said the chances were less than 1%) and with zero brain damage. In conclusion, the story itself wasn't bad, but I would have personally widened up the time windows (e.g. made the boyfriend be away for months) and switched the marriage proposals with just forgiveness. The story would have been the same, just much more believable.
Wonderful feel good movie about love and choises in life.
I watch chick flicks very often and I almost never care about how mealy and predictable they are. It's easy to watch and dream away with these kind of movies. Just hoping your life could be like those movies for one second. But this one didn't had me dreaming away for one second, on the contrary, it made me feel irritated, bored and frustrated all at once. To start with, it's not OK to make a whole movie about a love story that's just based on high-level cheating. It romanticizes the idea that cheating is acceptable. They make it seem like she didn't even felt bad about it. After that I didn't have any sympathy left for either of them.And if that wasn't worse enough, the movie itself was just awful. Too predictable, even for a mainstream chick flick. People are not aging at all, characters are totally not developed (it doesn't go any further than "I act like an a**hole but i'm not") and there is just nothing sincere when they're acting, it all seems like a joke. Even though I like Teresa, but this movie just made her look awful. Just don't waste your time, just don't. Don't let the 'Nicholas Sparks'- label fool you into thinking it'll be a good movie. It's no walk to remember, it's a movie to erase from your memory.
I always really enjoy Nick Sparks novels to films, or even just the films. I have read The Lucky One, Safe Haven, Notebook, Dear John, Longest Ride, and of course "The Choice." I am 34 year old man that is not usually a chick flick kind of Genre person but Nicholas Sparks has a rare ability to make his love stories so authentic, and he also creates another level of something I personally can relate to in his movies, especially growing up in the area of where all these movies take place and are filmed-shot at. "The Choice" really grabbed a hold of me because it reminded me of a summer I had here in Myrtle Beach, SC. The feeling that Teresa Palmer is able to portray in this film is unforgettable to me, it took me back to a summer romance that just makes me have mixed emotions of incredible lifetime experiences and how Love is so rare and magical. I mean that type of Love you see instantly here in this movie when Teresa Palmer gets Travis to change his ways and fall fast into a place he would never let his heart go before, and y'all all know that its true and we all do that or have done so in our lives! If you cannot relate to their summer fling turned forever Love, than you just have never lived in my opinion! This movie made me have a great time because it made me smile, laugh, reminisce, hurt, cry, and feel all emotions of my own life experiences all bottled up into one film. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who has had that summer fling whether it turned out like Travis and Gabby's or just stayed what it was and is a great memory to look back on like me, and smile saying I have no regrets! Maybe I am a bit of a hopeless romantic and realized that after watching this film a few times!
