Comment: The story opens on a Mexican rancho in 1910, as Tita is being born. Her harsh mother proclaims that the child will remain at home all her life and never marry, and Tita is relegated to the kitchen. When she grows up, Tita falls in love with handsome Pedro; he cannot marry her so he marries her sister just to be close to his beloved, who is now the family cook. I know this was a favorite of the critics when it came out, so I can only assume that something was lost in the translation for me, because I don't see the appeal or the greatness of this movie at all. To me, the actors seemed bland and amateurish, the scenes were choppy and poorly photographed, and story couldn't decide if it was a real love story or a magical fantasy. The meaning of the title was never explained and the last scene was just bizarre. I really expected to like this movie, but found it a low-budget, art house-wannabe. In Spanish with English subtitles. Customer Rating: Summary: One of the strangest movies that I've ever seen Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: I want some of that Chocolate ! ! ! Comment: 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 ! ! ! Customer Rating: Summary: Depressing Drama Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: LIKE WATER ON CHOCOLATE Comment: 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. Editorial Reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: This movie is "erotic and delectable"?
