LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Listonixio Fresh and Exciting
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
LeaBlacks_Balls 'Choose Me' concerns the interconnected love lives of several attractive people living in Los Angeles. They include a radio host (Bujold,) an escaped mental patient (Carradine,) an owner of a nightclub (Warren,) her married lover (Patrick Bauchau,) and his bored wife (Chong.) All these characters cross paths constantly. The nightclub owner calls the radio show for love advice, the radio host moves in with the nightclub owner, the mental patient sleeps with both of them, separately. Also getting involved are the married man, who plays poker with and fights the mental patient, who then sleeps with his wife, who hangs out at the nightclub.It's all very convoluted and unbelievable. The ridiculous coincidences in this movie make the forced connections in 'Crash' seem absolutely brilliant. And none of it is ever very interesting. This was supposed to be a 'serious comedy' but all it turned out to be was a boring cheese-fest.No one comes out of this unscathed. Everyone gives terrible performances, especially Rae Dawn Chong. The scene where her husband finds her in bed with the mental patient is hilarious for all the wrong reasons.'Choose Me' also has a horrible soundtrack. Over all the scenes that should be romantic or dramatic, R&B songs by Teddy Pendergrass are played. It makes this already boring movie even harder to watch. On their own the songs aren't bad, but they just seem so out of place in this film.
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.
Jerry Bank I just saw this film, having recorded it on my ReplayTV. I liked it very much. I am a fan of Genevieve Bujold and try to see her films. It was occasionally a bit confusing and took a little while for everything to sink in.Some characters, such as Zack really didn't make much sense. Also, what was he doing in a Studebaker? The poker game was fun, and even had a Goethe quotation, which I remember from way back in college (the late fifties).Does anyone else think that the final scene is a recreation of the final scene of the Graduate? As soon as I saw it, that it what came to mind. Am I nuts, or not remembering, or is it really so?
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.
