mvie mu-1103080: Chocolat - Not Always Empty Calories. Decadence Can Be Delightful.

Fri, 28 Nov 2008 13:05:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author coldsteel7 - I have owned the video for Chocolat for quite a while, but it seems like I keep forgetting to watch it. I dusted it off yesterday for an afternoon viewing. I needed something sweet to chase the awful drubbing my Detroit Lions suffered...

Tue, 13 May 2008 22:16:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dragonfire88 - Every so often, a movie with what seems to be a simple plot on the surface turns out to be something wonderful. It is nice to discover these types of movie gems, especially after suffering through some really horrible movies. I had heard and read good...

mvie mu-1103080: Chocolat - Who Would Want To Resist the Temptation?

Wed, 13 Apr 2005 18:23:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author AliventiAsylum - In the tradition of films such as Harper Valley PTA, Fried Green Tomatoes, and Mermaids, Chocolat is a film that depicts a slice of life of the women of a narrow-minded small town. In this case,...

mvie mu-1103080: I loved it

Mon, 21 Feb 2005 05:03:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author califnative - I just saw it on tv so I don't know if anything was edited out or not. But I loved it. It was strangely romantic and made me want to find those small beautiful French towns. It also made me wish I could try some of those delicious looking chocolates...

mvie mu-1103080: You will have joys and smiles when you watch this movie

Thu, 22 Jul 2004 01:28:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chris_lee88 - There are movies that infuriatingly invade my mind for days after viewing, upon which the only cure is to either watch the movie again or write a review about it. The last movie to do this was Adaptation, and I cured myself by watching the trailer online...

mvie mu-1103080: Chocolat is…a Wonderful, Tasty Morsel for All the Senses

Tue, 22 Apr 2003 15:24:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author adamkagan - By Adam K. Forester

Chocolat is…a delightfully “sweet” and charming film of understated dimensions — very deserving of its recent five Oscar nominations.

Chocolat is…a bubbly mix that does not...

mvie mu-1103080: Chocolat leaves your stomach only half full

Wed, 12 Jun 2002 16:21:59 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bluefishie - Chocolat attempts to deliver a semi-fairy tale story, but for various reasons, does not completely follow through. It leads you and your stomach only a half journey.

Vivan (Juilette Binoche) is a mother who has moved her daughter from town to...

mvie mu-1103080: Quality cook, questionable taste

Tue, 19 Mar 2002 12:57:46 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Cassady - Setting is Lansquenet, in central France in 1959, a town

under the dominance of le Comte de Reynaud (Alfred

Molina), who enforces public morality, even dictating the

sermons of the community's lone priest. One windy night two red-caped...

mvie mu-1103080: Chocolat: Watch it melt slowly on the screen

Mon, 18 Mar 2002 15:36:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tkerodd - It’s a funny thing about the critically acclaimed, Oscar nominated movies – they never seem to be movies that I like. Certainly I give them a try, and every once in a while I find that one of them is worth watching. However, most of them are just films...

mvie mu-1103080: Misunderstood?

Mon, 4 Mar 2002 02:07:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ahussain176 - This film is good but it does not deserve all of the hype it has received for being some sort of master piece that serves as a guide for how we should lives. The story is basically one of a mother and daughter that travel in France and come to settle in...

mvie mu-1103080: Rich Chocolat

Tue, 13 Nov 2001 23:18:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chapol - Chocolat is a beautiful, peaceful, quiet story that I found a real pleasure. The story is about a wandering mother and daughter who happen upon a small French town where "convention" is THE WORD. The mayor, played by Alfred Molina, makes sure...

mvie mu-1103080: Good Taste, but Watch the Calories

Thu, 18 Oct 2001 00:46:57 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Greyfan - Chocolat is set in a small French town in 1959, an ideal time, apparently, for a gentle fable examining the small-mindedness of traditional Catholicism in a heavy-handed way.

Our story begins with the insulated townspeople gathering at...

mvie mu-1103080: Chocolat is for Real Men too!

Mon, 15 Oct 2001 16:35:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wildo - Here comes another rapid fire review by Wildo boys (and girls too I suppose)!

Why am I concentrating on men here? Because this film is the type most men will avoid like the plague, but shouldn't. Women will watch something like this in a...

mvie mu-1103080: Chocolat....I ended up LOVING it!!!

Man was it slow getting started!! I fell asleep the first night and almost didn't finish it. But the next day, I picked up where I had fallen asleep and....boy, I sure was glad I...

Boy, did I ever have another strange dream last night when I rented the DVD version of CHOCOLAT and watched it. Then I went to sleep and dreamed that I was watching the...

mvie mu-1103080: Chocalate but no Truffle!

Mon, 10 Sep 2001 13:57:58 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author earthmuffin - I thought that this movie was going to be sexy, fun and aw inspiring from all of the things that my friends had said about it and the ads and from what the critics said. When I was finally able to rent the movie I sat down with my own box of overpriced...

mvie mu-1103080: Chocolat, A Charming Tale

Mon, 3 Sep 2001 23:28:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sunkah - I really liked Chocolat. I actually watched it with only the impression that it was going to be good (so many people told me it was going to be!), but no real expectations about the plot or anything.

The plot of Chocolat is...

mvie mu-1103080: Don't be afraid to say CHOCOLATE...

Mon, 3 Sep 2001 16:48:04 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bethaniej - Since this movie came out on dvd and video, I'm been arguing with myself as to weather I should rent it or not. I decided to be persnickety and only pronounce the movie title with it's American pronunciation. After all, I am an American. As such, I...

mvie mu-1103080: Do not watch with no chocolate in the house

mvie mu-1103080: "What's The Decor? Early Mexican Brothel?"

Fri, 31 Aug 2001 05:27:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author artbyjude - One of the best way to tell that a movie is a good one is your feeling of disappointment, when it ends too soon. For me, this movie was over before I was ready. I didn't know Hallstrom (CIDERHOUSE RULES) had directed the flick,** until it was over, but...

mvie mu-1103080: Chocolat is sweet (but manufactured)

Tue, 28 Aug 2001 12:44:01 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author baboonvideo - Overrated and undeserving of its Oscar nomination for Best Picture, Chocolat is the cinematic equivalent of a bag of Hershey's Kisses - sweet, tempting and pleasant, but more of a manufactured product than something crafted out of love and care.

mvie mu-1103080: Something make the world go 'round, maybe it's chocolate-Chocolat

Sun, 26 Aug 2001 21:45:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Vormancian -

I’ve said it before, and now I’m going to say it again. Predictability, as a negative trait in a movie, is a trickier creature than most think, and it can be taken too far.

When I reviewed Family Man I mentioned this, because I...

mvie mu-1103080: A moderately non-conformist film about conformism...

Sat, 18 Aug 2001 08:35:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ivdanu - I did moderately enjoyed this slightly comic drama (or this very sober comedy?). Not that I have something very grave to reproach to the director, the actors etc. It's a very well done movie, it has almost everything a movie should have in order to...

mvie mu-1103080: A Desire For Peace

Mon, 13 Aug 2001 13:44:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Lady_Pythia - Chocolat

Director: Lasse Hallström

Starring: Juliet Binoche, Johnny Depp, Judi Dench

A fairytale set in France in the late 1950’s, Chocolat shows the side of us, which we all want to set free and share with the world. But I warn you...
