Nobody could have imagined the impact that the striking Vianne (Binoche) would make when she arrived in a tranquil, old-fashioned French town. In her very unusual chocolate shop, Vianne begins to create mouth-watering confections that almost magically inspire the straitlaced villagers to abandon themselves to temptation and happiness! But it is not until another stranger, the handsome Roux (Johnny Depp), arrives in town that Vianne is finally able to recognize her own desires! (Miramax Films)

English Chocolate nicely combines elements of drama and comedy with a slight hint of fairy tale. Lasse Hallström's incredibly elegant, likeable, and enjoyable work is probably best enjoyed with a cup of hot chocolate and some of those sweets. :) The choice of actors is perfect, the music is more than pleasant. :) ()

English A cool movie. I've heard that if you watch it, you'll end up “cleaning out" the nearest Belgian chocolate shop. Well, that didn't happen for me. I'm not in the mood for it. But I guess that's not the point of the movie. I'm a bit sorry that Johnny had such a bark, good as ever, but you didn't see him wag his tail much. I really liked the music on the boat, that's when the film gave me the passion – not for chocolate (as promised) but for dancing. Also good. I liked how the film took on more color as it went on, and how everyone had this lovely wispy accent and said bonjour. Plus a beautiful town full of cat heads... A bit of a weak 4 stars, but still a 4. ()

English A nice, sweet, and fragrant film - no surprise, given the abundance of chocolate... Of course, the film can be criticized for being overly polished and having a happy ending; it's evidently a sugary film, but that's Lasse Hallström's style - one shouldn't expect a dark film from him. And every once in a while, it doesn't hurt to indulge in sweets or a romantic film of this kind. Especially when it stars Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp... Overall impression: 85%. ()

English At the end, a smile, a craving for something sweet, and the good feelings remain. The most interesting flavors are the surprising way of shooting at arrogant bigwigs, the most delicious and beautiful Juliette Binoche, and the sharpest yet best is the fabulous Johnny Depp. Don't refuse this delicacy, the craving for it tends to return.

English Definitely not a movie to give out free with the purchase of a 3-pack of candy bars... which is how it ended up in my hands. So I put it on, thinking it was a cheap movie. It somewhat surprised me, but really only somewhat. Maybe I'm just biased, which is why I'm going to watch it again. For now, 3.5 stars. ()
