One of the strangest movies that I've ever seen

I first watched this movie with my roommate who absolutely loves it. The whole time though, I sat there hoping that it would get better. The entire plot is very strange, it seemed interesting at first, especially considering the fact that she was able to put her emotions into what she cooked, but then it just got more and more obscure. The way that the sister ran off and the mother's haunting of the girl and then setting the man on fire was odd enough, but then you get to the end where she eats matches to kill herself and then the building bursts into flames. The only possible reason that I can see for buying this movie is to sit there and make fun of it.

I want some of that Chocolate ! ! !

I watched this movie at first when it came out and I liked it very much.
I've never thought about buying it but I saw it in Amazon and at such a nice price along with all the nice reviews and just decided to buy it.

I highly recommend it to anyone, it's just great.
If you really enjoy dramas and FOOD, you'll enjoy one this too ! ! !

Depressing Drama

After reading a few reviews and hearing that it was similar to "Simply Irresistable," I thought this would be a good romantic movie. (Whoever said it was like "Simply Irresistable" is crazy.) It had some romantic moments, but overall this was very depressing, and frustrating, with a mother that drove you mad.
I would not recommend this movie.

LIKE WATER ON CHOCOLATE

This is one of my favorite movies. I had it on VCR and wanted to but the DVD in case th VCR wears out. It offers a cultural insite, is funny, sad, sexual and a really good story line.
