Nobody could have imagined the impact that the striking Vianne (Binoche) would make when she arrived in a tranquil, old-fashioned French town. In her very unusual chocolate shop, Vianne begins to create mouth-watering confections that almost magically inspire the straitlaced villagers to abandon themselves to temptation and happiness! But it is not until another stranger, the handsome Roux (Johnny Depp -- SLEEPY HOLLOW), arrives in town that Vianne is finally able to recognize her own desires!« less

Great movie. Not if you are looking for an action (explosion/car chases, shots, blood) film

Interesting and beautiful little story. Gives you a craving for chocolate too.
It is inspiring, it teaches and encourages not to be judgmental and to enjoy life.

This is a fantastic movie that covers so much - old age in ill health; spouse desertion; single parenting; abusive drinking controlling husband; family seperation; and more. I feel the movie managed to include all these topics and blend them so well. It is fun; deep; meaningful; stretching. I always pick up something for my life everytime I watch it. It's a keeper. You'll be inspired and encouraged that life is meant to be lived...and enjoyed. Too short for anything else. Family is all that matters whether blood or not. Love that it has a happy but not sappy ending!
