 Better than Chocolate (1999)
Better Than Chocolate has all the trappings of a romantic comedy: a lot of romance, a little comedy, and plenty of zany ups and downs in between.
It's not easy sharing a house when you're in the closet, and the rest of the film follows the semi-farcical complications surrounding Maggie's romance, her various attempts to tell her mother she's gay, and her efforts to cultivate her identity as both a politically active feminist and a lesbian.
When they're not having soft-lit sex, Maggie and Kim spend all their time prattling on endlessly about the Lilith Fair and sex toys in the feminist bookstore owned by their world-weary landlord (Ann-Marie McDonald), who is herself a font of stock answers on all matters sapphic.

 SPLICEDwire | "Better Than Chocolate" review (1999)
"Better Than Chocolate" is a lesbian, coming-out, romantic comedy-drama with a few endearing twists that make it somewhat more memorable than most movies of its ilk.
Already on the verge of a nervous breakdown after being blind-sided by father's affair, mom (Wendy Crewson) is in no shape to have her daughter's sexuality sprung on her, so the girls are stuck in the throes of a budding romance that they are forced to keep clandestine, much to Kim's chagrin.
Dwyer and Cox couldn't be a more appealing couple, even as their relationship waxes and wanes in the wake of Maggie's unsuspecting mom, and in spite of its periodic, prefabricated conflicts (enter skinheads, stage right) this is a smart, cheerful, movie that's hard not to like.

While chocolate is no longer seen as a cure for fevers, hypochondria, or chronic indigestion—much less as an effective way to extend life expectancy—it still weaves its magical spell over those who succumb to its dark and delicious promises.
Studies show that high levels of phenylethylamine are produced by the brain when a person is in love, and it is chocolate's natural capacity to produce this chemical that makes it—along with a box of Kleenex and a good movie—so indispensable to love-sick people around the world.
Although your doctor is unlikely to prescribe chocolate as treatment for a difficult breakup or a series of bad dates, it acts as a very stimulating and addictive drug.

One thing's certain: While the boys' reputation for randiness is legendary, it's good to see a film like Chocolate prove that the ladies can cook up as many blush-inducing moments as their counterparts -- and it may hold the record for the most "marital aids" displayed in a feature film.

 Better than chocolate?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Although the habitual consumption of chocolate may lead to a dependence, this is unlikely to become a life-threatening addiction.
As long as addicts avoid frequent visits to chocolate factories, the risk of an overdose is minimal, and while dentists and doctors are unlikely to tell you that chocolate is good for you, they won't bore you with lectures on its negative effects either.
So enjoy responsibly—no chocolate 'benders,' no sundae-eating contests with friends, and, if you're out at a bar, resist the urge to ask the waitress to set you up with a round of chocolate shots.

"Chocolate covered cherries are too sweet for my taste." Yet Severus ate one anyway while Remus, licking chocolate from his own lips, encouraged him with a groan.
At first Severus declined to answer the question, which was hurtful -- perhaps more than it should have been, since Severus rarely bothered to answer questions to which he believed the answers should have been obvious, and when he did reply it was generally to deride the questioners.
He himself was moaning a great deal more loudly than he ever had while eating dessert or anything else, even the superb Muggle Belgian chocolate that Hermione Granger's parents had sent.

 filmcritic.com Movie Review: Better Than Chocolate
Nobody knows why gay love stories have gone from being taboo to trendy, but the film industry is belatedly ready to exploit the new homophilia with Trick and Better Than Chocolate, a Canadian import by director Anne Wheeler.
Better Than Chocolate is a frothy, smoochy tale about two angelic, college-age lesbians with common interests (sex, erotic painting, coffee) who meet and instantly fall in love, or the high-school equivalent, in a coffee shop.
It’s also no worse than the average teen romance flick, but few people would watch a teenage love story this saccharine if the two leads were straight.
