Better Than Chocolate Reviews
Twisty!
Plot twists everywhere! A movie of many mini-dramas in one, but blended together so well it's an exhilirating rollercoaster of love, lust, and the bonds of family.
We don't know anything about Maggie (Karyn Dwyer) before she comes to this "interesting part of town" other than she's left university to find herself, and BE herself. She gets a phone call from her mother, who doesn't know she's a lesbian, and the fun begins. Mother Lila, (Wendy Crewson) is divorcing her husband and with brother Paul (Kevin Mundy) in tow, needs a place to stay. Maggie finds a loft as a sublet, but there is a snag. After performing a lip synching at a club she's met the girl of her dreams. Kim (Christina Cox) is staying with Maggie as well, now to keep the affair from Lila! Kim is torn. She wants Maggie to come out to her mother so they don't have to hide their relationship. She wants Maggie to be able to openly declare her love for her, but Maggie is so afraid. The fear ultimatly threatens to tear the two women apart.
We meet Maggie's friends, her boss Frances (Ann-Marie MacDonald), her friend, a transexual named Judy (Jerry Outerbridge), her co-worker Carla (Marya Delver), and coffee shop owner Tony (Tony Nappo). Frances is at war with Customs, as they continually threaten her livlihood by witholding shipments of books and videos for her store. Carla is a bi-sexual free spirit who "likes hard centers, soft centers, all the chocolates in the box". Judy, who is under the misundersanding that her father has forgiven her for becoming a transexual befriends Lila and starts bringing her around to Maggie's point of view.
Inadvertantly, Maggie's friends begin introducing Lila and Paul to new and exciting experiences. Maggie's fears of coming out to her mother are soon alieviated when Lila discovers her in bed with Kim and the conflict grows. Amid gay bashing and hate crimes the outcome of the movie is perfectly tied up and delightful. Helped along with an astounding soundtrack this is one movie you simply MUST add to your collection!
very entertaining
Very simply... it was good. I thought it to be funny and real. I'd watch it again.
