The best critic slams of 'The Choice'
Despite being the most Nicholas Sparks movie that has ever Nicholas Sparked (see what we did there), The Choice is not a hit among critics.
The adaptation of the Sparks novel currently has a low, low, low 7% on Rotten Tomatoes, which brings it even lower than his last adaptation, The Best of Me. We rounded up the best (worst?) critic slams of the sappy flick.
"The Choice is the cinematic equivalent of staring at a Hallmark Card for two hours."
"How many times, really, can someone repackage the same generic love story, presented with all the artistry of a travel-agency brochure and affixed with yet another third-act tragedy?"
"You might find yourself weeping tears of relief when the credits finally roll."
"The latest, and quite possibly worst, tissue-thin weepie to issue forth from the Nicholas Sparks page-to-screen assembly line."
"The Choice feels like Mad Libs with some of Sparks' laziest clichés - a romantic rowboat, a colorful small-town carnival, a jealous upper-c."
And perhaps, the best/worst of all, from the San Francisco Chronicle:
"The only choice is to make sure a barf bag is nearby."
