Wanneer de mooie Vianne en haar dochtertje in een ingeslapen dorpje een bombonwinkel openen worden de gemoederen flink opgeschud. De stugge dorpelingen smelten voor de chocolade en hervinden hun geluk in de liefde. De conservatieve burgemeester is het daar natuurlijk absoluut niet mee eens en zal daar wel even een stokje voor steken. (RCV Film Distribution)

At the end, a smile, a craving for something sweet, and good mood will remain. The most interesting flavor is the surprising way of shooting at arrogant bigwigs, the most delicious beautiful Juliette and the sharpest yet good one is the fabulous Johnny Depp. Don't refuse this delicacy, the craving for it tends to return.

Such a nice, sweet, and fragrant film - no wonder, as it contains so much chocolate... Of course, Chocolate can be read as overly polished and with a happy ending, it is evidently an oversweetened movie, but that's just how director Hallstrom is, you can't expect a dark film from him. And once in a while, it doesn't hurt to indulge in sweetness or a romantic movie of this kind. Especially when it stars Julliete Binoche and Johnny Depp... Overall impression: 85%.

Definitely not a movie to give out free with the purchase of a 3-pack of candy bars... which is how it ended up in my hands. So I put it on, thinking it was a cheap movie. It somewhat surprised me, but really only somewhat. Maybe I'm just biased, which is why I'm going to watch it again. For now, 3.5 stars.

A cool movie. I've heard that if you watch it, you'll end up “cleaning out" the nearest Belgian chocolate shop. Well, that didn't happen for me. I'm not in the mood for it. But I guess that's not the point of the movie. I'm a bit sorry that Johnny had such a bark, good as ever, but you didn't see him wag his tail much. I really liked the music on the boat, that's when the film gave me the passion – not for chocolate (as promised) but for dancing. Also good. I liked how the film took on more color as it went on, and how everyone had this lovely wispy accent and said bonjour. Plus a beautiful town full of cat heads... A bit of a weak 4 stars, but still a 4.

A lovely film that will make you as feel good as eating a chocolate treat. Binochet is sweet (from a male perspective), Depp is sweet (from a female perspective), the story rather bitter, but the milky part is waiting at the end. The problem with the film's chocolate is that its flavour wasn't distinctive enough to make me want to revisit it after a while. Which is something that can't happen to me with normal chocolate :) Therefore "only" for four rum truffles.
