rgmayne I read some of the other comments and apparently they saw a different movie than I did. This was a horrible awful movie, yet oddly I couldn't turn away from this train wreck. The characters were unlikeable and the plot was obvious. There is no continuity, hair goes from curly to straight to curly again in minutes! Not only was the acting boring, but the actors appeared board as well. In one love scene, Geneviève Bujold is stiff as a bored, then for about 30 seconds she moved (I'm sure the director told her to do something, ANYTHING) followed by more stiffness.The movie seemed dated even for its time. It was released in 1984, but seemed to be more like a 70s porn movie...without the sex.
Henry Fields Sex, love, human relationships (and how complicated they are... or how simple -it depends-), those are the main lines of this story about love triangles and hidden identities. No one is what it seems in "Choose me". Sensuality and sexuality are in the air, you can almost breathe them. The dialogs are so direct, some of them are sharp as a knife, and a soundtrack full of soul and jazz complete this puzzle.The starring trio have true chemistry: Leslie Ann Warren and Genevieve Bujold (two of the most attractive women at the time of the movie) and charismatic Keith Carradine are just great.PS: Strangely enough none of the actors of "Choose me" are popular nowadays in Hollywood. It seems like they all have disappeared. Meanwhile Ben Affleck, Jessica Alba and so on keep on making money. How sad! *My rate: 8.5/10
dakangan Viewers who are fans of Titanic and made-for-the-masses, fat part of the bell curve movies are likely to miss the subtle, internal drama, the kind that adults experience, that is going on when there appears to be nothing going on in Choose Me. This film accomplishes what cinema has great trouble doing, capturing and expressing the psychological realities operating even in seemingly banal human events. This is a film for adults who can afford to reflect on life and experience. We all have heard about the junior high girls who saw Titanic fifty times during its run. One wonders how much of an impression was left. I have seen this film several times over the last 18 years, and I found myself recommending it today. It makes a subtle impression that lasts.
vvanpo This movie holds a special place for me because I consider it to be my first "adult" film. Meaning this is the first movie made for adults with adult themes that I really paid attention to and liked. This doesn't mean it contains a lot of nudity and profanity. Actually it doesn't have much of either and that's a relief.Keith Carradine is great as Mickey, a man will marry any woman he kisses. A man suffering the trials and tribulations of someone who always tells the truth. Two of the women that come into his life are "Ann" (also Nancy Love) and "Eve" (also Eve). Genevieve Bujold and Lesley Ann Warren play them with style.Pepper it with characters make this movie a light treat. Alas it has dated a bit from its '80's self. But the Freddy Pendergrass music is still marvelous and sets "Choose Me"'s mood right.
