« Marketed as a romantic comedy with a lesbian twist, the heart of Better than Chocolate is the mother-daughter story between Lila (Wendy Crewson), a clueless middle-aged suburban mom, and Maggie (Karyn Dwyer), her 19-year-old, self-possessed lesbian daughter. The changing dynamics of this relationship serve as a catalyst for Lila's transformation into an independent and courageous woman. »
