Choke

If you like the TV series "My Name Is Earl", then you might like this movie. I don't and I didn't. It pretty much mirrors Earl's format but with a hard R-rating.

Recovering sex addicts, con artists, and delusional psych patients commingling is not a good cocktail in my world.

This movie had no likable characters. Even Angelica Huston, whom I usually really enjoy, is repulsive here. Now that’s good acting.

Maybe it's a generational thing, but I found very little in this movie to like. If you are under 30 maybe you will get more of the bits. It is based on a novel by the same guy who wrote Fight Club so I expected more.

Watch this one at your own risk.
