Critics consensus

“Some things are Better Than Chocolate , while some are far worse — and this would-be romance fails to deliver a filling morsel.”

I feel damaged, like this movie has taken a part of my soul. And not only does this movie refuse to apologize for it, I think it's going to use my soul's energy in order to make it even more ridiculous for the next person who watches it.

The film flaps from the screen like a giant rainbow flag, and more queer power to those who love that sort of thing.

This film may not be better than chocolate, but it is better than most lesbian films, and very realistic.

Better Than Chocolate is polished and insouciant and boasts the flashiest club numbers since The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
