Better Than Chocolate (1999)
Lame
This movie was so insanely lame. It was such a generic lesbian movie filled with typical sappy lesbian music. How about we think of something other than 'gay person falls in love, society doesn't accept.' The story was so weak and scattered.
The lame plot goes like this: Lesbian college dropout meets rebellious lesbian artist, mother comes over and the lesbian daughter tries to come out to her throughout the whole movie, mother is so straight and just doesn't understand. There is some undeveloped subplots mixed in, a generic 'women are powerful' message, a gay bookstore, a little T&A, skinheads, and the movie ends with people kissing in the street. The only good part is when the token drag queen in the gay movie gets mad.
The people that gave this movie a good rating are only giving it because it's a movie all about lesbians and their troubles, something that we don't get too much. Just because it's a rarity, doesn't make it good. Anyone that has seen a well written film can clearly see this movie sucks. There is a reason why it plays in the middle of the night on Showtime. What have I learned from this movie? That Canadian lesbians are boring.

Australians Cannot Make Scary Movies
The cover of box of this movie has Kyle Minogue's name on it, but she has the same destiny as Drew Barrymore did in "Scream." That's the first thing that makes this movie lame; they are trying to market a movie with someone that's in it for 5 minutes.
Of course, we have to have this movie feature young hip college kids that are oblivious that there's a killer going around. To top it all off, Molly Ringwald of 80's teen movie fame is the star of this beautifully written film. It's a good career move for Molly to get some money doing a crappy movie in Australia so she won't get ridiculed in the states.
Either way, this dumb movie is about some dumb horror movie that was never finished because this dumb creature kills everyone that's in it. Throughout the movie, we're supposed to guess who's the killer. Long story short, remember our little friend Molly, she saves the day...or does she?
This move is just plain bad, rent it if you feel like torturing yourself or just break it on the floor of your local video store if you see it on the shelf. Don't spread the horror.
