Ebert on 'Choke'

Choke :: rogerebert.com :: Reviews
All the pieces are here, but you have to glue the kite together to make it fly. "Choke" centers on a character who is content to be skanky and despicable, and who does not reform, although the plot seems to be pushing him alarmingly in that direction.
I haven't seen the movie yet, but I did read the book and found it to be disjointed. SO Ebert's first line about the movie seems to me to correct so far as the story would go. It was extremely funny at times, sometimes for a long time. But at the end of the day, it left me feeling bad about things in general. I think Rockwell would be perfectly cast though. I'll be giving it a watch.
