Multiple Choice is a Canadian short film, directed by Debbie McGee and released in 1989.[1] The film stars Lois Brown as Meg Harris, a shopaholic film researcher who is working on a documentary film on poverty for pompous documentary filmmaker Jack (Rick Boland) when she encounters Mr. and Mrs. Noseworthy (Andy Jones and Maisie Rillie), a couple on social assistance who challenge all of her established beliefs about participating in consumer society.[2]

The cast also includes Eileen Moss, Mack Furlong, Edward Riche, Frank Barry, Mary-Lynn Bernard and Janis Spence.

The film was originally conceived as a documentary, before evolving into a short drama.[2]
