It'll be ok. But i doubt if it'll rule. They only spent 2 mil for the whole thing and filmed it in 21 days, so there's only so much they could have done with it. Still though with such a great cast it should be alright. I'll be happy as long as I don't feel I wasted my money.

If you're able to come to chicago in August. it's released on the first, so you might not have to wait for a european release. just FYI

I think the fact it wasn't some huge movie with 100 million to spend just makes it seem that much more like one of his stories.

The book Choke was by far one of my favorites, and I have very high hopes for the movie and can't wait!

Choke is one of  my top two favorites.  Victor Mancini was this dirty, creepy jackass, but, I could not help adoring him.  Is it weird to have a crush on a fictional sex addict?  And Sam Rockwell, who is this totally underrated human chameleon, in the starring role is too perfect for words.  Maddie like.

Please don't use budget as a barometer of quality or else Alexander's budget of 155 mil would have guaranteed greatness.

The thing that scares me is the tone in the trailer seemed too goofy and not dark enough--then again, it is just a trailer.
