I just finished watching Chocolat. Last person on Earth, yeah..I know. All I can say is....I want chocolate. Now. And since I'm desperately craving chocolate, there's not even a Mars bar in the house. There isn't anything extraordinary about the story, or even the movie, as a whole. But when you have Johnny Depp playing a guitar, and delectable scenes of chocolate being made, do you even need a story?
Plus Juliette Binoche has a certain quality about her. She gets under your skin, quietly. The 30 second scene in which she and Depp dance is just pure, unadulterated romance. If I was a believer in Valentines' Day, I'd say this was a perfect V-Day movie. Its cute, has a very handsome hero, (I am yet to meet a girl who thinks Johnny Depp is NOT hot!) and a misguided villain who is essentially a decent person. Nobody who you expect to not die, dies. There's even an oldies' romance to warm the cockles of your heart. Its all cho chweet.

But seriously....it makes you crave chocolate in the worst possible way. Seriously.
