I saw this one for I knew with that great cast it couldn't be one of those stereotypical dramas. But still I feared that because of the theme I wouldn't like to watch it more than one time (I usually watch all of Joe Mazzello's films again and again). Well, Desperate Choices made me see it many times and not only because of Joe. The reason for that is: I discovered a warm-hearted family-story beneath the drama-surface. Okay, it is not as entertaining as a comedy or some edge-of-your-seat-thriller but likeable all around. Instead of being sad at the end I felt good and noticed it wasn't filled with so much tragedy as other dramas are to be sure to make the viewers run to the next shop to buy new hankies. I'd say: if it comes your way, watch it!
