Fielder's Choice (2005)

fielder's choice--

a decent drama from hallmark. Chad lowe plays a very self centered man thrown a curve in life that makes him have a choice to make. I can recommend this movie for the whole family. He is put in charge of his nephew who in turns teaches him that there is more to life than a career and himself. March 12, 2008

Standard TV movie fare

Disappointing TV movie about a supposedly autistic boy, who is foisted
on his bachelor uncle, who naturally doesn't want his lifestyle changed.
But of course, Uncle slowly learns to love the tyke, who doesn't seem
all that autistic. An average Lifetime type movie. A happy tear-jerking ending of course. I wouldn't object if it was done in a believ-
able fashion. January 3, 2008

Grown Together

It is not often you get to see in real life how we really have a choice in how we grow. Fielder's Choice shows a man begin to learn what it means to share life. When his young nephew is thrown into life after losing his mom in a car accident Fielder is left with choice whether or not to take in this boy as his own.
As the kid grows on him it is nice to see how he opens up to the world around him. Speaking as a native Californian I know how difficult it is to open up to the world around me because out here people are so isolated; perhaps they live here because of the isolation and they prefer their lives that way.
Despite this Fielder in the end comes around and makes the right choice but not because the rest of the world thought it was right and not because his nephew needed him but because he himself needed to grow. September 24, 2007

Typical Hallmark Movie

This is a pretty decent movie. It's what you would expect from Hallmark. "Big Daddy" presents a smililar situation in a more entertaining way and on a deeper level. March 22, 2007
