Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Don't Believe the Hype

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Several times now I've watched a film that just does not measure up to the glowing reviews. I really need to hit the 'Love/Hate' filter more often to get a balanced opinion before investing my time.CSV is not a good film. I'm an Aussie and I find a lot of our B- grade films pretty hard to sit through, and this one is yet another addition to the 'crap' pile. The acting and direction is not the problem here, it's definitely the writer and producer at fault.The whole film is repressed and undefined. You are just about screaming for the payoff while suffering through some pretty cringe-worthy scenes, all the while hoping some epic retribution is coming.It's just too damn slow. Warren's slow descent into madness might be interesting to some, but as a low-budget black comedy, it misses the critical entertainment mark by a mile.Depressing, confronting, awkward. These are not great words of recommendation, especially when there are no redeeming qualities to take the sting off. Who was responsible for taking out the fun bits? Death by ice-cream truck was such a missed opportunity. Why leave the whore and her piece of crap son alive? I badly wanted them to die.It doesn't even resonate as a weird cult movie like 'BAD BOY BUBBY'. Such a shame as it certainly could have made that grade with only a few small tweaks.Don't waste your time with this movie.

It starts off a bit iffy but once it gets into the plot it is a very intriguing film.Gray Maynard is great in this film. The jerk off scenes are equally hilarious, disgusting and sad.This is a great story about obsession.The directing is very original and well done and so is the script you really start to care for Warren.It catches you off guard by being absurd.I have never seen a film before that uses a TV show in a movie as a learning toll for the plot . The video diary's are greatly done and you really start to see Warren in a different light. These videos were inspired by an actual stalkers video diary's.

This film seem like it should be a interesting film but it just doesn't get there. It follows an ice-cream van driver and soap opera fans life over a few months. During his work he meets one of the actors from the soap show and he has to put up with cruel people.I would have to disagree with another review up here that claims it is similar to Bad Boy Bubby, which I loved. The only similarities I see is that they are both Australian films in which you feel sorry for the main character. In Bad Boy Bubby I was hanging on to see what would happen next because it kept you enthralled but in Chocolate Strawberry Vanilla I was just waiting for something of interest to happen.The film feels like it is trying to do something that it has not achieved and as a result ended up as a slow boring drama that doesn't hold the viewers attention. I saw it listed as a dark comedy but found almost nothing in the film funny. I do not feel the need to watch this again and personally I would recommend watching something else over this.

Australia can make an amazing movie and have a few iconic titles to prove it. However, this movie is not one of them.I must stress that the premise of this being a comedy drama is far from accurate. I would question the values of anyone who laughs during this movie.We follow a poor, socially awkward ice-cream van driver who is steadily brought to madness by the cruelty of life through a series of bullying strangers, a two-faced TV actress and his perhaps only friend turned junkie.The main actor himself is a credit to his capabilities, but in what feels like yet again another low budget Australian movie, there is little else I can say good except perhaps the extremely graphic nature of the violence on screen is disturbingly vivid.If you enjoy watching someone being kicked when they're down and delight in the suffering of others, then perhaps you will enjoy this movie, but for the rest of us, stay away!
