Common Sense Says
Adults-only sex comedy is shocking but shallow.Appropriate For?
Age Appropriate Some Iffy Stuff Not Age Appropriate
What's the Story?
Based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk, CHOKE tells the story of Victor Mancini (Sam Rockwell), a schemer and scammer driven to extraordinary lengths by his sex addiction and the challenge of caring for his increasingly senile mother Ida (Anjelica Huston). He supports her by relying on a network of benefactors who send him money; all are strangers he met by pretending to choke in restaurants and then imposing on their good will and kindness after they "saved" him. When Ida's condition worsens, Victor strikes a bargain with a female doctor at the rest home: Dr. Marshall (Kelly Macdonald) will try to get Ida additional care if Victor impregnates her. Victor observes that "I have sex with strangers because I'm incapable of doing it with someone I like"; ultimately, his relationship with Dr. Marshall, his mother, and his own needs all need to be reconciled with his desire to live a better life.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this extremely mature comedy based on a novel by the author of Fight Club isn't for kids in any way. Every scene includes or deals with sex, nudity, sexual situations, and sexual acts. There's extensive nudity, and a few scenes depict sexual activity in unflinchingly graphic fashion. There's also drinking and lots of strong language (including "f--k" and "s--t"), and while the film ultimately has a message of redemption, the lead-up to that moment is filled with rough, raw content and images. Families can talk about the nature of extreme satirical comedy. Is this movie intended to be over the top? How can you tell? What messages is it sending about sex and relationships? This movie was adapted from a novel by the author of Fight Club; what do this movie and Fight Club have in common? Families can also discuss the challenges of caring for an aging parent, as well as why people engage in compulsive behaviors.
