    • Trivia
      The Choice (2016) is Nicholas Sparks' eleventh book made into a movie.
    • Goofs
      As Gabby studies, she quizzes her dog "Do you know how many liters of blood the circulatory system processes per day on average?" She answers herself "Twenty! That's right!"

      Gabby is incorrect. A person has about 5 liters of blood. If Gabby was right, then the entire volume of blood only circulates four times in a day, or once every six hours. The correct figure is about 6,000 liters a day.

      Travis: Why do you make it so hard for me to flirt with you?

      Gabby: Because if I made it easy you wouldn't flirt with me anymore.

    7/10
    The Choice is a 2016 movie made from a Nicholas Sparks book.
    The Choice (2016)

    Summary:

    Travis Walker is a carefree man that lives in a small town. His only responsibilities include his dog and the job he loves. He has a love for women, but is not the type of man that you would see settling down at anytime. This changes when a beautiful woman named Gabby Palmer, who has a love for dogs and a firecracker personality, moves in next door. As a rough first impression puts Travis on her bad side, he will do all it takes to win Gabby over. When Travis finally gets his way and all seems to be going as planned, the most horrible event happens. Travis is put on the spot and forced to make the hardest decision of his life. This decision will not only affect him, but most of the others in the movie also. The movie is all about the choices made in life and how to deal with the outcomes of your choices, which is a great life lesson.

    Characters: 8/10

    The cast in this film is overall pretty good. Most of them seem to be experienced in their field and love doing what they do, which is obvious by how well they play their parts. In some films it is obvious that the actors are inexperienced and might be trying too hard to play the part. In a good actor the part should come naturally. I only noticed an actor or two that were the so called "try hard" actors that weren't very good at playing their assigned part. For example, the character Gabby seems to over exaggerate her part throughout the movie. She plays the part with excitement, but it seems a little forced and awkward for her. Since Gabby is such a big role in the movie, I gave this section an 8 because I feel like that one character really changed the tone of the movie. The majority of the remaining cast looked very experienced.

    Story Line: 9/10

    For the most part, the story line was easy to follow throughout the whole film. It was not often that you felt the need to rewind and re-watch something because it did not make sense. However, this movie is a love story, so sometimes those can get slightly confusing when dealing with indecision about feelings. The love story aspect is the only thing that slightly messed with my head throughout the movie, which is why I gave it a 9 instead of a 10. Overall I really like the story line and the outcome of the movie. I think the story really flowed and was a romance pleaser. When tragedy strikes the young couple it's time to hold on and stick with it to the end. Even though this part of the story is hard to watch, its not something you will want to miss. The ending really teaches a great lesson that anyone could use in life. I feel as if the great story line takes this film out of the strictly chick flick category.

    Predictability: 4/10

    This film is very predictable, but this should not make someone refuse to watch it unless you absolutely hate being able to predict the end. If you are familiar with Nicholas Sparks' previous novels that have been made into films, you know that they are predictable love stories. This does not mean that the story and plot are bad, though. I gave the predictability aspect a 4/10 because I felt like I knew how it was going to end even from the beginning of the movie. There are tragedies that happen throughout that are not expected, but the ending is still pretty easy to call out. As stated above I really like the story, which is why I think even though it is predictable it is still a movie that can be enjoyed.

    Overall Score: 7/10

    I think that this movie is overall pretty good. The film is fit for just about anyone, even though it is a romance. I believe that anyone could get into the story line and really enjoy themselves while watching it. Yes, the story is predictable, but do not let that stop you from giving the film a chance. Many people probably will not watch it because they believe it is a chick flick, but I think that this is a silly term used and not a very good excuse to not watch a movie. However, I think that the moral of this movie is really good and everyone can learn a lesson from watching it.
