"The Choice," the newest Nicholas Sparks-based movie, is a movie about two people who hate each other at first, then decide they love each other soon after even though they are probably more compatible with other people. Typical love story. However, there are a few things that make this Nicholas Sparks movie stand out from the others and should make you want to watch it.
1. Travis
Good Lord, he is cute. He isn't your traditional good-looking lead actor, and it makes all the difference. Between his smile and his accent, you're going to be hooked from the first scene.
2. Gabby
All right, this honestly could be a reason not to see it as much as a reason to see it. She is beautiful, thin, and naturally pretty. New favorite actress? Definitely.
3. It's set in North Carolina
As someone who was born and raised in North Carolina, I might be a little biased. But the movie embodies the Southern charm and small-town appeal that North Carolina has, and it makes the movie 100 times better. Thank you, Nicholas Sparks.
4. There are lots of cute animals to look at
Travis is a vet, and both Travis and Gabby own dogs, so there's always lots of cute dogs to look at. (And puppies!)
5. They actually make it past the honeymoon phase in their relationship
Spoiler alert: You actually get to see their relationship progress. They get married, have kids, get jobs. They prove that they can actually last together as a couple. (I mean, in the movie.)
6. They all have Southern accents
This might be me being biased again, but I love a good Southern accent. I would so much rather listen to that for a whole movie than to some pompous British character.
7. You will totally want to have their relationship by the time the movie is over
It's so obvious that they are in love. It will basically make you hate your own love life and be jealous of them for all of eternity. It's fine.
