Chocolat (2001)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
Based on Joanne Harris' novel and directed by Lasse Hallström (of the melancholic 'Chocolat'), 'Chocolat' is yet another light and sweet fable about liberating desire, with a kitschy view of romance. If this movie were a dessert, it would be comparable to an industrial chocolate like any other, pleasant enough to please, but definitely not as memorable as the delicacies its protagonist makes. However, Juliette Binoche ('The Freedom is Blue') is as good as ever, accompanied by a strong cast including Johnny Depp, Judi Dench and Alfred Molina.

The Nutcracker and the Four Realms
Despite a talented cast, including Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman and young promise Mackenzie Foy, 'The Nutcracker and the Four Realms' is among the weakest Disney narratives in recent years (and unfortunately, with very little dance for a story based on the famous ballet 'The Nutcracker' by Piotr Ilitch Tchaikovsky). However, on the other hand there is an impressive production design and spectacular special effects, making the movie worth it for the visuals (which really enchant).
Dear John
Nicholas Sparks is the owner of an infinite number of romantic stories always similar and with strangely similar characters, such as 'The Notebook', 'Safe Haven', 'A Walk to Remember' and 'The Choice'. In 'Dear John', one of the audience's favorites, there is not much really different in Sparks' narrative adapted for the big screen. We follow the story of a soldier on leave who falls madly in love with a beautiful and conservative college girl, with all the predictable unfolding of a plot like this. However, the good performances of Amanda Seyfried ('Mank') and Channing Tatum ('Magic Mike') help the movie to have some differential and be memorable in its ending.
Romance
Dirt Music
Georgie is slowly suffocating in a loveless marriage to fishing tycoon Jim Buckridge. Handsome poacher Lu is an irresistible symbol of the excitement she craves. A passionate affair follows that reveals the dark secrets in Lu’s past and forces him to take flight into the blistering heat of the outback. Georgie follows, determined to find him and bring him back.
Tonight You're Sleeping with Me
This is a Polish romantic drama exclusive to Netflix that with touches of eroticism addresses themes such as the deterioration of marriage and infidelity. The plot of Tonight You're Sleeping with Me follows a journalist trapped in a marriage that has lost its passion with a distant but affectionate husband. On the other hand, there is a younger ex-boyfriend who returns to her life and awakens in her the desire she thought was lost. There are no too surprising twists or too scandalous images: if you want something romantic but predictable, this is a good option.
Love at First Kiss
Impossible relationships and love triangles are basic ingredients of romantic comedies, as are those clichés that "a kiss can tell you everything about a person." Love at First Kiss (Eres tú) is a Spanish production that takes this last idea to a curious extreme: Javier (Álvaro Cervantes) has the power of clairvoyance, since with a kiss he can see the entire future of a relationship. This has led him to end all of his relationships quickly, but everything changes when he kisses Lucía (Silvia Alonso), with whom he sees a happy future... But the problem is that she is his best friend's (Gorka Otxoa) girlfriend. The entanglements and dramas follow a predictable course for any fan of the romantic comedy genre, but those who seek that repetition of the formula to spend a quiet and entertaining time, will enjoy it.
A Sunday Affair
Two best friends, Uche and Toyin, fall in love with Sunday, a charming, yet flawed eligible bachelor. A love triangle ensues with the women unaware that they are dating the same man.
