Cute but that's about it!
People raved about this movie and I sat there and felt like I missed something. It was a good story line. That acting was okay. Some of the characters weren't really devolped very well. It was disappointing.

Magical!
In a small self-righteous village in France, where everyone goes to church and tries to uphold an appearance of morality and virtues, a newcomer arrives and opens a chocolate shop. Vianne is a little different than everyone else because she "does not attend church" and she wears red shoes when "all the other mommies wear black shoes." The mayor is angered because she opens the shop just as the Lent season begins and brings into town a little bit of temptation. Vianne brings a little bit of magic to everyone in this film, showing that big things really do come from small bites. Sometimes it is the "heathen" that brings good change into a town that desperately needed it, especially when that same town was inhibited from the pleasures of life by their own doing. The village needed a little "pick-me-up" and Vianne and her chocolate shop is just what the doctor ordered. Johnny Depp has a smaller role in this movie as Roux, a charming "riverrat" who shows up just in time to show Vianne that subconsciously she has something inside of her that needs awakened, just as she has helped everyone else awaken. This movie made me laugh and it made me cry. It is truly a memorable movie that will warm everyone's heart and send a little magic their way. Be sure to have a box of chocolates nearby while watching the film!

Loved it, loved it, loved it!
I loved everything about this movie. It is visually beautiful to watch, and is brilliantly acted and directed. I was both moved and delighted throughout its entirety. The messages this movie delivers are in my opinion dead on!
