My Thoughts: About 3 months ago we took my mom with us on vacation and at the time she was reading the book “The Choice” and was raving about it. Typically, I’m not into romance flicks at all, but after hearing mom rave & rave about the book, I decided to add this movie to my “must-see” list.
I sat down to watch this movie with my husband and I have to admit, the movie was better than what I thought it would be. I was totally expecting one of those mushy-mushy romance movies with no story line (just a lot of making out)…but was pleasantly surprised that this movie had a really good story line! A lot of the actors in this movie were “new” to me, except for one or two of them. It’s always nice to be introduced to some new talent. I think the younger generation (teens and young adults) would really enjoy this movie. I’m older and did enjoy watching it, but it’s not one that I would rush out to purchase at my age. Just being honest.
As you all know, I don’t give out any spoilers in my movie reviews, because it totally ruins the experience. This movie is getting 7 popcorn buckets out of 10 popcorn buckets on my movie rating scale.
