Life is going great for Maggie. She has recently moved out on her own and found the woman of her dreams. However, things quickly change when her mother and brother are forced to...
more...move into Maggie's tiny loft sublet with her. All the freedom and space she has gained is compromised, and she believes she must keep her blossoming affair a secret. But it's the clandestine romance that inadvertently introduces her family to a host of new experiences, many of which are better than chocolate. Karin Dwyer and Christina Cox are terrific as the young lovers, and Wendy Crewson is splendid as Maggie's mother, who might finally be ready to break out and start having some fun in her life.

Advantages: Very Funny Romantic Comedy with a twist.
Disadvantages: Theres no part 2 / follow up film!

What can be better than chocolate? I hear you ask?.... This film is! The first time I watched this was with my friend and I wasn't too sure what to expect from it after hearing the title!

Disadvantages: Just all round.....ODD

OK, firstly I realise this film has quite a large following/fan base, so sorry if I am about to 'diss' yer fave film, but ...WHAT!!?!?!? I mean, honestly...what the hell is this film about???

Goodness Gracious
Review of Better Than Chocolate (DVD) by evanesco

Advantages: It made me laugh
Disadvantages: Because it was a little cringe worthy

I'd been wanting to watch this for ages, it's been raved about so much in the lesbian community that I just had to watch it so, I did! Okay so, theres Maggie (Karyyn Dwyer) who's quit uni and works in a book store, is sleeping on the couch in the back. Obviously not an ideal situation, so she lets an apartment. Then theres Kim (Christina Cox) who goes from place to place in a van doing portraits. They meet, fall in love and move in together after ... Read review
