Clark Gregg’s black comedy – based on Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk’s novel – stars Sam Rockwell as a man taking stock of his frayed life. Victor Mancini’s mother Ida suffers from dementia, but his job at an 18th-century theme park doesn’t bring in enough cash to cover her care costs. To supplement his income, he pretends to choke on food in expensive restaurants, hoping his ‘rescuers’ will give him money once they hear his woes. In the meantime, he and his friend Denny attend meetings for their sex-addiction issues, where they – inevitably – pick up women for no-strings, no-joy sexual encounters. As Ida’s condition worsens, she rarely recognises Victor, but starts to believe that Denny is her son. Anxious to discover who his father was before it’s too late, Victor tries to find out via Denny’s conversations with Ida. But, ultimately, it’s Paige Marshall, an angelic nurse at the home, who gives some surprising news about his parentage, as well as offering Victor the hope of a happier future., Needing to pay elder care for his mother, Victor has devised an ingenious scam: he pretends to choke on pieces of food while dining in upscale restaurants. He then allows himself to be saved by fellow patrons who, feeling responsible for Victor’s life, go on to send checks to support him.

When his disillusioned and hospitalized mother, Ida, reveals that she has some shocking information about his father, he enlists his friend, Denny, and his mother’s female doctor to find the truth before it’s too late., A sex-addicted con-man pays for his mother’s hospital bills by playing on the sympathies of those who rescue him from choking to death., Sex addicted con man Victor Mancini fakes choking fits in restaurants to pay for his mother’s medical bills.

Victor Mancini’s mother Ida suffers from dementia, but his job at an 18th-century theme park doesn’t bring in enough cash to cover her care costs. To supplement his income, he pretends to choke on food in expensive restaurants, hoping his ‘rescuers’ will give him money once they hear his woes. In the meantime, he and his friend Denny attend meetings for their sex-addiction issues, where VIctor picks up women for no-strings, no-joy sexual encounters. As Ida’s condition worsens, she barely recognises VIctor, but starts to believe that Denny is her son. Anxious to discover who his father was before it’s too late, Victor tries to find out via Denny’s conversations with Ida. But, ultimately, it’s Paige Marshall, an angelic nurse at the home, who gives some surprising news about his parentage, as well as offering VIctor the hope of a happier future., Victor Mancini (Sam Rockwell) has got some problems — when he’s not at Sex Addicts Anonymous meetings hunting for women to bed, he masquerades as a choking victim in restaurants as a scheme to gather money from unsuspecting strangers, which he uses to keep his ailing mother (Anjelica Huston) in a high-end extended-care facility for her extreme dementia. But what happens when this messed up Colonial-era theme-park employee finds Mrs. Right in the guise of his mother’s doctor — and how can he give their relationship a try when she tells him he’s the next coming of Jesus Christ? Based on Chuck Palahniuk’s (Fight Club) pitch-black comedic novel, Choke is adapted and directed by David Mamet alumni Clark Gregg, whose career spans stage, screen, and TV work as well as a screenplay credit for Robert Zemeckis’ 2000 thriller What Lies Beneath., Sam Rockwell offers a diverting turn as, by day, a “historical interpreter” (that’s his way of saying he plays an actor at a colonial-themed New England park), and who by night is a sex-addicted scam artist. The offbeat comedy is based on a novel by Chuck Palahniuk (“Fight Club”) and written and directed by Clark Gregg, who costars as the manager of the park. Brad William Henke is hilarious as Rockwell’s best friend, who also has his own unusual sexual proclivities.
