Get to the point
I'll be back in a couple hours to write a review, but when looking her for a choke review, ignore anyone who mentions fight club. Though Choke is based on a novel by the same author, half of the success of an adaptation is based on the ability of the director to embrace the mindset and convey the message of the author, and the actors' abilities to embody their character. I've read Choke, along with all of palahniuk's novels, and have very high expectations for this movie. I can tell you one thing though; I'm not going to walk into that theater expecting to see fight club, and if anyone says in their review "this is a crappy movie because I liked fight club and I didn't like this", discount them completely. This is about a guy who works a ****** job and attends sexual addiction workshops to get action. And there's a screwed up mother-son relationship thrown in there. Add a little dementia and some social commentary, and you have a palahniuk novel and what sounds like a good movie.
