Many lesbian movies are long on charm and short on production values; Better Than Chocolate has a solid dose of both and steamy sex scenes to boot. Our heroine Maggie (Karyn Dwyer), a clerk at a lesbian bookstore, meets footloose butch Kim (Christina Cox) and, after Kim's van is towed away, they move in together. Unfortunately for their romantic bliss, Maggie's mother, Lila (Wendy Crewson), and teenage brother move in that very evening thanks to Lila's impending divorce. But what really complicates matters is that Maggie can't bring herself to come out to her mother; even when she tries, Lila steamrolls through the conversation, like she knows what's coming and doesn't want to hear it. Interwoven with this is the struggle of Judy (Peter Outerbridge), a male-to-female transsexual who's in love with the bookstore's owner, Frances (Ann-Marie MacDonald), who's freaking out because customs officers are holding a list of books at the border that they claim are obscene. The overlapping plots are deftly juggled, the personal and political are compellingly interwoven, and, most satisfying of all, the characters have problems that aren't going to be easily resolved. A handful of candy-colored lip-synching musical numbers give the movie some flash and the sex scenes give the movie some heat, but it's the elements of sorrow and ambiguity that really make the joy in Better Than Chocolate something to savor. --Bret Fetzer

comedy and romance in one.......2007-07-29
This is a great lesbian romantic comedy. I am a gay man but enjoy this movie and have it in my collection. It is about a young lady that is out on her own and has sub-leased/house sitting for a lady that is going out of town. She starts finding interest in another young lady when she finds out her mom is leaving her dad and shows up on her doorstep with her younger brother. The mother does not know that the daughter is gay. You then follow these members of the family as they grow socially and within the family. By the end of the movie it very heart warming. I do have to say my favorite scene is when the mother is on the bed in the bedroom. I do not want to give it away but when you see it you will know which scene I am referring to.
Love this movie.......2007-07-24
I had the VCR Tape of this movie, so i needed the Dvd. I love this movie!! Great great great!!!
Fun - Romance - Misscommunication.......2007-07-23
From the start this film is funny. Much of what happens is predictable, but the quirky characters are halarious. It makes you rethink cliches' at the same time it pokes fun at them. Its a fun film.
Coming of Age, Coming Out, Coming to Terms.......2007-07-16
This is an eclectic movie about several people coming to terms with being in love, being single, dating outside their norm, etc... etc... Everyone deals with different realities everyday, and this movie is just an example of what kinds of realities exist. Definitely not for young viewers.
Incredible picture.......2007-06-15
An intressant and impactant picture. Only for people that have an open mind.
