Idealistic 15-year old Owen gets the chance of a lifetime to be the youth spokesman for U.S. Senate Candidate Lawrence Connor, only to be exploited in a fierce campaign of TV and radio ads, posters, interviews, and speaking engagements in the cut throat media-image-is-all world of American politics.
Feeling of “Choose Connor” is disappointment: a bright, very ambitious filmmaker has reached for significance and import, and we see that he’s just not yet capable of pulling it off. He’s young and inexperienced, and he’s working on material and themes that are simply beyond him. the result is a movie that doesn’t know when to pull its melodramatic punches, and simultaneously fails to land critical blows (or doesn’t even throw them). It’ll be interesting to see how this young filmmaker develops, but there’s a great risk that the hubristic overreaching of this project will torpedo his later efforts, and one wonders whether he should have set his sights on a more reasonable goal.
