1) DVD DVD Better Than Chocolate by Lions Gate. A good enough movie for a part of entertainment that is lacking (lesbian love stories)...¤ 2) DVD DVD Better Than Chocolate by Lions Gate. Not one of my favorite Lesbian movies, but I ordered it because everyone said I should own a copy. It was a typical so-so movie...cute chick mets another cute chick, they fall in love, both have issues that tear them apart, they get back together.
he movie tends to deal with prejudice in its forms...and the message is...prejudice is BAD. And we hear it over and over and over again.
My favorite character was the transgendered mtf. S/he made the film interesting, otherwise it was a so-so film.¤ 3) DVD DVD Better Than Chocolate by Lions Gate. A good honest film about young love, well worth sitting down to watch. You could even enjoy it with your partner, what ever relationship your in.¤ 4) DVD DVD Better Than Chocolate by Lions Gate. Better than chocolate is the type of movie that after you are done watching it, you know that there are bad circumstances out there, but in the end it doesn´t matter because - if you have love, nothing else matters. I must have watched this movie 30 times in one week when I first got it.
They couldn´t have picked a better person than (christina Cox) to play the part of Kim. Extremely good acting, tasteful, very believable, and while you are watching it - it makes you feel like you are there.
It is a great love story about finding yourself, coming out, and acceptance and they are able to takes serious issues and makes them a little more light-hearted. Very real/feel-good movie, and I would recommend this movie to everyone.¤ 5) DVD DVD Better Than Chocolate by Lions Gate. This is a movie that I though would be interresting to view with my special someone bu when we looked at it we waited for the plot and the what´s next in the movie...it was just too predicatable with no organization to the story line. SO its truly not a buy rent it rather if you can find it or borrow it from someone.¤ 6) DVD DVD Better Than Chocolate by Lions Gate. A sexy rom of love and lust with surprising results. Maggie meets the woman of her dreams kim just hours before her mother lilia and brother paul move in with her. When the four end up sharing a loft maggie believes she must keep her affair a secret. Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 02/05/2002 Starring: Karyn Dwyer Wendy Crewson Rating: Ur Director: Anne Wheeler¤ 7) DVD DVD Better Than Chocolate by Lions Gate. 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¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
