Not long after moving into her own place, Maggie finds herself with two unsolicited roommates: her recently divorced mother, Lila, and her young brother. The timing is especially bad, considering Maggie has fallen hard for an attractive woman, Kim, only hours before they move in. What could be a nonissue becomes increasingly complicated -- since Maggie's family is unaware of her sexual orientation, and Maggie is not open to sharing that information.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
First of all, this movie shows just how tastefully lesbian sex can be portrayed on the big screen. It's hot. Super hot. If I saw something like that happen in real life, I think I would explode.Not hardcore or anything like that, just creative and beautiful. The girls aren't even 10's, but they totally make it work.Sex aside, this movie actually has quite a good story, is pretty funny, and I think just about every character is likable in some way. But you definitely have to be open minded to enjoy this one.I wanted to watch this one for all the wrong reasons, only to find out that it is actually a very good movie. I'm glad I watched this one in its entirety... with the sound on.
This is that rarity, a sexually explicit film that's actually good. Chelsea Clinton-lookalike Karen Dwyer is a college dropout whose family doesn't know she's gay. Just as she's beginning her first serious relationship with beautiful Christina Cox, her mother (a hilarious Wendy Crewson) and teenage brother come for a visit. While Maggie (Dwyer) attempts to hide her relationship, her mother befriends a pre-operative transsexual and her brother makes time with a beautiful, sexually promiscuous bisexual. The movie gets bogged down in politics toward the end, but for the most part it's quite entertaining. Crewson displays an enormous comic talent as a middle aged woman rediscovering her sexuality and the sex scenes between Dwyer and Cox are beautiful and romantic. This film is aimed primarily at the gay/lesbian crowd but should appeal to quite a few straights as well. If you think Canadians are dull, rent this film and see for yourself.
I heard nothing but how great this movie was and that it was the best "real lesbian" movie out there. Sad to say, this was probably close to the worst lesbian flick I have spent two hours watching. It was so unrealistic that I found it a spoof, more than anything. People in the LGBT community constantly complain about the lack of respect that is given to this lifestyle, with movies like this what are they wanting from people? Straight people have no other basis to judge other than what hate breeds in its own in society, something that there is no control over from the alternative community. So when there is something that can be controlled, like LGBT entertainment, we release ones that are completely juvenile, disrespectful and asinine. It makes the gay lifestyle look like nothing more than a congregation of narcissistic nymphos. Very disappointing on every level.
I love this so much, I watch it Every night when I go to bed. I'm in love with Christina Cox. she is amazing and the most beautiful woman in the whole world well her and Gwen Stefani. I'm always looking on her site to see if she's guest staring on anything. It's quite pathetic actually. It would be awesome if they did a sequel to Better Than Chocolate. That would be amazing....amazing. I don't know what they would write it about, however they are geniuses so they could do it. but yeah. I love this movie so freaking much. I suggest that everyone watch it at least 1 million times. It is amazing. Amazing. What I really liked about it is that they used such a great cast and the storyline wasn't just a regular romance. It was different from everything. I think it's because it was made by Canadians and Canadians are amazing. This movie really went out there. It showed the real troubles that we go through as glbt's.
