Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Ultimately, especially coming from director Lasse Hallstrom, such a slight flick doubles as a fat disappointment.

fresh:
A sinfully scrumptious bonbon.

rotten:
Watching Chocolat is like binging on a bottomless box of truffles: Tastes good and sweet at first, but after a while, you start feeling a little green.

rotten:
One of those whimsical concoctions that tries too hard, and goes too long, for its own good.

fresh:
Chocolat, like Hallstrom's adaptation of The Cider House Rules, succeeds primarily through its casting.
