Apart from Judi Dench and Juliette Binoche this film is woefully miscast. That is possibly due to the fact that it?s filmed in English when it really would have worked better as a French production, with French actors and a half decent director (he's only made one good film and t...( read more)
Of course I loved it, it's a movie about chocolate...and Johnny Depp is in it!
What exactly does one say about this one? Good story, good acting, all around good movie. It paints a very nice portrait of rural France in transition, and shows the stranglehold of catholicism being broken in the 1960s - it's not necessarily the chocolate shop that does it, it's...( read more)
Story about a sleepy village that is awakened by mysterious visitors. An unconventional mother who makes delicious chocolate and an Irish boatsman.
"Chocolat" is, well, a sweet little movie. It's presented as a children's fairytale, using the typical archetypal characters of each fable and hamfisting it's metaphors down the reader's (or viewer's) throat. In this film, as well as many like it, religion is a symbol of oppressi...( read more)
I think this was extremely overdone and got more attention than it deserved. It is an average script set in beautiful locations with romantic settings. That does not make a movie great. The acting wasn't anything special and the film making was nothing out of the ordinary.
Ogni scusa è buona per riguardarlo.
Sono quei film che fanno bene al cuore, dovrebbe esistere una categoria proprio con questo nome, film che fanno bene al cuore.
One of those whimsical concoctions that tries too hard, and goes too long, for its own good.
The movie is charming and whimsical, and Binoche reigns as a serene and wise goddess. full review

its a fansite i made for him :D
I really enjoyed this touching film but...
I found it hilarious that Chocolat was mentioned in a McDonalds radio commercial! I couldn't believe my ears XD
Juliette Binoche & chocolate.
Two great tastes that taste great together.
The movie was very enjoyable. I liked it. the score was superb. Performances were great.
And about Johnny Depp's appearance, he was there only for some time but more than i expected.
I came across this film on a movie channel in a hotel. I knew that I wanted to see this film for quite some time. So I watched it and I have to say it was very good and wonderfully done. The cast of characters were superb. My favorite of course was "Judi Dench" and "Juliette Binoche". I love chocolate.. which made this film a real treat to watch and enjoy. But so much more happens and takes place when strangers from the outside of the french town arrive. As the town's people itself our stuck in their ways little do they know things are about to change drastically for the better in this wonderful and touching film. 3 1/2 stars
this film is so kwl init lol ive watched it loads of times n its so gd its all about temptation lol
