Choose Love

This new twist on a hallmarkesque pg romcom was surprisingly engaging! Fun to watch with others and discuss the possible choices. You have a chance to go back and redo the last selection and see what happens if you take the plot in a different direction. Yes, all the choices end up in some version of a happily ever after but is that so bad? The heroine is charming and sweet without being too saccharine and there's enough tongue-in-cheek humor to elevate the experience beyond bland fluff. It doesn't take itself too seriously as a film which allows the viewer to just grab the popcorn, sit back with your controller in hand and enjoy!

You get to work out what you would do or go with something you would never do. It is an illusion of choice though, some things will just happen, some choices are already made. That said it is an interesting concept. It looks effortless and is very well done. Creating the choices and making the film hang together as a narrative must have been quite a challenge.

It is interesting to make choices and then rewind and make different ones. You could watch this film a few times with different choices. Ultimately it is fluff and if you take it as such it is enjoyable.

I do not look for plot holes so I may have missed them. It is enjoyable if you are looking for something fluffy and not emotionally taxing.

Characters are awful and dialogues are cringe. All choices feel bad. At least we had a laugh while watching this below average interactive movie. Main character is not really likable at all. We wanted to mix it up as much as possible but we were hoping for a crazier ending. Interactive movies are a cool genre, but I feel that 2 movies that netflix made were underwhelming. We watched in couples, so that's a recommendation if you still decide to watch it. Also, it is not that long, I guess because of our choices but we kept it fun until the end. There should be a choice to end up with your boss, aka the donut guy.

I don't know how I feel about this new "choose your own adventure" format. I will say that the romantic comedy and maybe a mystery are the two genres that might lend themselves to this format.

I watched two different endings to this romance, one where Cami ends up with perfect Paul and the other where she ends up with rocker Rex, which I don't feel is much of a spoiler since I assume there is also an ending where she ends up with the one that got away Jack. I can't say I had strong feelings about either ending or any of the characters really. Which leads me to what I think was lost in this "choose your own adventure" format...time wasn't spent developing the characters or their romance. It left everything feeling flat and cliched. Maybe the film needs to be longer in order to develop the romance and still allow you to make choices? Either way this film suffered versus benefitted, coming across as very juvenile and unfinished.

I think it was a cute film to try out this new format on, so if you just want to see how the choose your own adventure works...this is an easy no brainer way to do it, but otherwise this is not a recommendation from me.

I did like a couple of Cami's wardrobe pieces, particularly that great yellowy orange she wore.

I watched this through the first time choosing everything the polar opposite of what I did in real life just for fun. You can choose the fun choice instead of the "sure thing"- clean-cut guy who adores you, is wealthy, and your family loves him. And whatever you choose it's only a movie and doesn't change a thing so it's risk-free fun! Then I watched it again and chose differently. I'd like to see more films like this. The possibilities are endless and it would be a fun movie to watch with a party full of friends, drinks, and snacks. Bottomline, there are no wrong choices in life, only different choices with different outcomes.
