Boston Globe
In the end, though, the film disappointingly, even lazily, shies away from being anything more than you’d expect. - 50
Arizona Republic
What grates is the lack of attention to details. There is a grating sloppiness to much of The Choice, both narratively and stylistically. - 38
Movie Nation
The Choice is another endless, nearly-sinless-in-the-sun Sparks melodrama, one that benefits from a couple of charming leads and some folksy, down home humor. But that title frames it in tragedy. And that “choice” leaves this tepid romance mired in the maudlin. - 38
The Seattle Times
Consider your multiplex choices carefully as Valentine’s Day approaches; you might find yourself weeping tears of relief when the credits finally roll. - 25
Slant Magazine
Most Nicholas Sparks adaptations say, in cinematic terms, nothing so complicated as "roses are red." This one just points to a garden and shrugs. - 25
San Francisco Chronicle
The Choice has a twist or two toward the end, and they’re about as cheaply maudlin as the movies get. The only choice is to make sure a barf bag is nearby. - 20
Variety
Director Ross Katz’s The Choice, which mimics “The Notebook” in everything but meaningful conflict, believable characters, style and emotional honesty, is a very unsuccessful story. - 20
The Hollywood Reporter
The Choice is the cinematic equivalent of staring at a Hallmark Card for two hours.
