DVD Reviews of Like Water for Chocolate
DVD Review: I want some of that Chocolate ! ! !
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this movie at first when it came out and I liked it very much.
I've never thought about buying it but I saw it in Amazon and at such a nice price along with all the nice reviews and just decided to buy it.
I highly recommend it to anyone, it's just great.
If you really enjoy dramas and FOOD, you'll enjoy one this too ! ! !
DVD Review: Excellent movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best movies I've ever seen. Great combination of drama, love, and revenge.DVD Review: Depressing Drama
Summary: 1 Stars
After reading a few reviews and hearing that it was similar to "Simply Irresistable," I thought this would be a good romantic movie. (Whoever said it was like "Simply Irresistable" is crazy.) It had some romantic moments, but overall this was very depressing, and frustrating, with a mother that drove you mad.
I would not recommend this movie.

Description of Like Water for Chocolate
In turn of the century Mexico, a young woman loves a boy who her mother forces to marry her sister.No Track Information Available
Media Type: DVD
Artist: CAVAZOS/LEONARDI
Title: LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE
Street Release Date: 06/07/2005
Genre: FOREIGN
Expect to be very hungry (and perhaps amorous) after watching this contemporary classic in the small genre of food movies that includes Babette's Feast and Big Night. Director Alfonso Arau (A Walk in the Clouds), adapting a novel by his former wife, Laura Esquivel, tells the story of a young woman (Lumi Cavazos) who learns to suppress her passions under the eye of a stern mother, but channels them into her cooking. The result is a steady stream of cuisine so delicious as to be an almost erotic experience for those lucky enough to have a bite. The film's quotient of magic realism feels a little stock, but the story line is good and Arau's affinity for the sensuality of food (and of nature) is sublime. You might want to rush off to a good Mexican restaurant afterward, but that's a good thing. --Tom Keogh
