: The Wedding Planner

Pleasant, if predictable, romantic comedy. Nothing remarkable one way or the other.

: Chocolat

This was a neat idea: a mysterious, independent, openly immoral woman moves into a tiny highly-religious French town and opens a chocolate store during Lent, creating havoc in the town’s ordered way of life. Are her chocolates really magical? There’s a fairy tale sense to the film, similar to Edward Scissorhands. Unfortunately, the film takes itself a little too seriously and it’s overly long with not much of consequence happening. It’s still a good film, just not a great one.
