Miramax
2000 - Rated PG-13 - 2 hr 1 min
Director: Lasse Hallstrom
Starring: Juliette Binoche, Johnny Depp, Judi Dench, Alfred Molina, Carrie-Anne Moss, Lena Olin
Squee! Johnny Depp as a not-pirate, before his Pirate days. Oh joy!
This movie is full-on chick flick-tastic, if you haven't seen it, but God do I love it. It's about chocolate, and repressed French people, and hot gypsies, and an invisible kangaroo. I love love love it and I don't care if you judge me.
The whole repressed village coping with the risque chocolatier plot line is predictable, and soooo overdone, but they still manage to keep it fresh and interesting enough that you don't mind. Juliette Binoche is lots of fun to watch and sometimes I want to be her when I grow up. Especially if it means Johnny Depp will show up to "fix my squeaking door."
Anyway... just watch it and enjoy the decadence. And if you don't like it, I feel bad about that...but oh well, more for me!
