Summary: Lesbian Films Don't Get Any Better Than This!
Review: "Better than Chocolate" hits every touching,
exciting angle of lesbian 'first love.' Wow,
if we could only bottle those feelings of
raw physical desire. And Christina Cox, what
a body! A beautifully made movie.
This is a must for every lesbian who
remembers falling in love. Made me smile from
ear to ear!

Summary: For women 18 and older
Review: (film should be rated R or NC 17) They marketed this film in Germany for straight people as a comedy- In the U.S. they marketed it for lesbians. "Better Than Chocolate", filmed on a low budget on location in Vancouver, Canada, is one of the best movies I have ever seen as far as acting talent, directing, and producing. I took a chance on this movie without ever hearing about it and loved it. If you have a little rainbow in you or are "straight but not narrow" you will LOVE this film-there is awesome directing and many comedic parts to laugh at. There are also a few sensitive parts of the movie that I always cringe at like when some people on a motorcycle throw a beer bottle on the side of a lesbian dance club, Judy gets beat up in a bathroom by a woman but is saved by her friends, and when lewd men leer at Maggie at the end of the film while she is trying to make an artistic statement at her friend's 10 Percent Bookstore. The majority of the film takes place at the 10 Percent Bookstore, the coffeeshop next door to the bookstore, Maggie's sublet, and a night club. I won't ruin the ending but if you are thinking twice about owning this film- don't- I watched this movie 3x the same weekend I got it-I loved listening to the director's commentary the 3rd time I watched it, and my friend Holli liked certain parts of it so much(even though she slept through most of it because she was tired) she was sure she wanted to buy it and I told her I got it off Amazon. I do warn you, I think this movie is definately for mature women 18 and older because there are some sexy scenes that don't leave anything to the imagination-some of it is in the name of art but *most of it is not.

Summary: contrite and oh, so predictable
Review: ... The plot is too predictable and the actors underwhelming as was the characters themselves. The speed with which they hook up with one another gives new meaning to the u-haul joke. And the sex scenes were sadly lacking as well. They had very poor chemistry and their "passion" for one another seemed entirely forced ...

Summary: This movie is as delightful as
Review: A box of melt in your mouth chocolates. It's so fun to watch and enjoyable. The characters are all lovable and fantastic especially as just about everyone in the movie receives some sort of awakening. Watch it.

Summary: Mmmmm Chocolate
Review: A great film that explores a budding romance, relations with parents who don't know, and then the struggle against censorship. Some amazing scenes with body paining, and a live naked window display. Explores some anti-GLBT issues as well. Over all one of my favorite movies.

Summary: Good Movie
Review: A lot of lesbian movies are cheesy or have little (or uninteresting) plot. This movie has a great storyline, great characters, and is not cheesy in the least. It covers a bunch of issues, such as homophobia, coming out, falling in love, transgender issues.. And it handles them all with aplomb and sincerity. Not to mention the chemistry between the two main characters is very strong, and their romance really draws you in. The sex is good, the story is well-done, and I highly recommend this movie.

Summary: Coming out to LIBERTY AND LIFE
Review: A marvelous, sexy,ALIVE film which celebrates sexuality as it fights against the closets of fear, government power, and sameness that'd lock love away. This is a film EVERYONE should see! ...A political film that manages to be HOT, & funny, as well as poinient.It challenges us all - by finding that the fear of "normal","moral",people is as potentially deadly to liberty and love as are the crude weapons of skin-heads. It counterposes ugly fear with oh so MUCH beauty!

Summary: unsexy and highly overrated
Review: After hearing such high reviews, this movie was a HUGE disappointment. It seemed more an effort to display every known lesbian stereotype than to show the story of the two young women that the movie is about. You've got your semi-closeted femme, your artistic, transient butch, your androgynous activist, your slutty bisexual, and your sensitive transgender. Then you've got the homophobic yet supportive neighbor, blah blah blah... The entire movie takes place in the space of about 10 days, in which Maggie and Kim meet, fall in love, move in together, and come out to Maggie's mom, have a fight, break up, reconcile, and live happily ever after. The sex is unconvincing. There is absolutely NO chemistry between the two actresses. If they had gone all the way over the top and tried to make it a parody of lesbian stereotypes, it might have been funny. The problem is that I think they tried to make it a warm, fuzzy, romantic comedy. In the end, that's $12 and two hours of my life I'll never get back.
