Movie Reviews

Variety - 8/10 by David StrattonA terrifically entertaining romantic comedy, Better Than Chocolate tackles the age-old theme of the universal need for love with exuberance and gusto.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Peter StackBetter Than Chocolate is smart, funny adult entertainment -- the sex scenes are bold and convincing -- with a love story that is touching and surprisingly cheerful.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Jim SullivanFor all the real problems faced by its characters, Better Than Chocolate is finally a comic rhapsody to romantic love, the possibility of happily ever after within an all-accepting subculture.
The Hollywood Reporter - 7/10 by Michael RechtshaffenFor all its flaws, Better Than Chocolate is a fair enough entertainment value -- certainly no less meritorious overall than, say, Runaway Bride. But, like many other films that have boasted both a high likability quotient and a positive social message, it seems to be getting a bit more credit than it really deserves. And as far as I'm concerned it's no favor to allow a filmmaker of Anne Wheeler's obvious gifts to operate so far below peak efficiency.
New Times - 6/10 by David Ehrenstein... for those looking for more, they'll have to tell the filmmaking chefs to put something other than Chocolate on the menu.
Film Journal International - 6/10 by David NohAnne Wheeler's sexy, funny, poignant film, from a bright script by Peggy Thompson, is a real charmer, with considerable brains.
New York Post - 5/10 by Jonathan ForemanThe problems of coming out, intolerance, safe sex, and censorship are ticked off like a checklist in Better Than Chocolate, a well-meaning Canadian slice-of-life comedy that remains firmly planted in the creative rut currently plaguing gay cinema.
Washington Post - 5/10 by Rita KempleyYou'd think indie filmmakers would have learned by now that people tend to put on a sober face when addressed from the pulpit.
ReelViews - 5/10 by James BerardinelliWheeler is extremely secure in filming the sex scenes - they are inarguably erotic - but she has trouble with serious drama. Overall, that makes Better Than Chocolate a mixed bag with a wavering focus. In many ways, it's like the majority of heterosexual romances -- not unpleasant or unwatchable, but nothing special.
TV Guide Magazine - 4/10 by Ken FoxThe not-so-incredible story of two girls in love.
