Summary: Positive suprised
Review: Just as a test I bought this DVD and after looking through all the extras I feel I will start buying my movies on DVD. Lasse Hallströms adding an extra audio track where they comment all scenes is just a must

Summary: Definitely a Feel Good Movie
Review: Good story, good actors and great soundtrack. It's a great story rather than 90 minutes of explosions and special effects. A very charming story...

Summary: Lots of Eye Candy
Review: The battle of the senses vs. the spirit is on in Chocolat, a movie about a red-cloaked unmarried mother breezing into a gray-roofed Catholic town and bringing with her all the mystery and healing of chocolate during the Lenten season. Her direct enemy: the Count, who runs both the town and the church and is as devout as he is rigid. The performances in this movie (which is in English, by the way) are uniformly satisfying; the script is good; and nothing negative sticks out about the editing or the direction. What really captures the imagination, however, isn't the story but the lush cinematography, which draws particular attention to the chocolate. The chocolate itself is the lead character in this movie, imbued with magic, sexuality, the spirit of womanhood, and rebellion against all things patriarchal or institutional. Worth your time if you like your films sweet and smooth.

Summary: Sorry, but it's a Bore-alot
Review: 'Chocolat' wants to be a charming, enjoyable, heartfelt experience, sort of like strawberries dipped in melted chocolate. Sadly, it somes off more like a Sneakers Bar. It's about a mysterious woman who blows into town and sets up a chocolate store. The woman, Vianne, is always kind, compassionate, and tolerant. So, of course, she is hated by people that art not. There is an intolerant, unhappy mayor who forces the local priest to read his sermons who hates Vianne because she would not listen to one of his sermons. Vianne uses her chocolate confections to fix problems in peoples lives and messes around with Johnny Depp without any real chemistry. If you like things light and fluffy (possibly like a Three Musksteers), then this movie is for you. If you like things more dark and flavorful then please watch "Like Water for Chocolate."

Summary: Sugar & Spice & Everything Nice
Review: Movies are a form of escapism. Escapism into sci-fi, pre-historic times or just plain vicarious living. In this case it's escaping into the fact that chocolate will "cure" what ails you. I must have believed it too, because I bought a Skor bar after the movie. The cast is terrific. The scenery is breathtaking. The cast in the scenery is terrifically breathataking. Once more, casting chocolate is breathtakingly terrific. As for those anti-Catholic naysayers, well Accepting Change is more apt to this fairy tale than being anti-tradition. I gave up chocolate for Lent, but watched Chocolat on DVD, all the while. Usually, when I have the time to watch a 2 hour long movie, two-thirds into the movie, I know if a movie is good or bad, and while Chocolat may have run 20 minutes longer than necessary, it is worth it in the end. A very rare exception in today's crop of [movies]
