''The Choice'' is a 2016 American romantic drama film, based on the [[FilmOfTheBook novel of the same name]] by Creator/NicholasSparks. The film was directed by Ross Katz and stars Creator/BenjaminWalker, Creator/TeresaPalmer, Creator/TomWelling, and Creator/AlexandraDaddario.
Travis Parker (Walker) is a free-spirited single veterinarian [[DeconfirmedBachelor whose bachelorhood becomes deconfirmed]] upon meeting his new neighbor, Gabby Holland (Palmer), an [[TheFinickyOne uptight]] med student engaged to doctor [[DisposableFiance Ryan]] (Welling). While Ryan is out of town on business, Travis and Gabby [[SympatheticAdulterer embark upon a whirlwind affair]] that forces Gabby to choose between the two men. [[TimeSkip Years later]], after Travis and Gabby are married with children, a SurpriseCarCrash puts Gabby in a coma, forcing Travis to choose between possibly letting her die or possibly prolonging her life.
''The Choice'' is (so far) the last Nicholas Sparks novel to earn a film adaptation. Despite earning back more than twice its budget at the box office, it is the lowest-grossing Sparks movie to date, as well as the worst-reviewed with only an 11% approval rating from Rotten Tomatoes.
