Dripping in Chocolate

A decent evening movie that's clean enough mom can watch it. Looks like a series pilot.

Somewhat bizarre in terms of the chocolate woman and her boot fetish, but keeps you interested and just when you think thats all abit boring there is a twist in the tale. Not a bad effort if slightly quirky.

Wenham was excellent as usual. The movie showed Sydney and the south coast at its best, great Rocks locations, wonderful close up views of Harbour Bridge, Lovece's south coast beach house location couldn't be beaten, visually this was a great film. The Sea Cliff Bridge at Coalcliff on the Lawrence Hargrave Drive also looked world class.

However, Louise Lombard drove me insane with her ubiquitous smile which should not be misconstrued as agreement or pleasure, her smile was also used to hide embarrassment, annoyance or disagreement.. it was so obviously false, could someone tell her not to underestimate the audience, we are perceptive and I for one found her omnipresent smiling akin to that of religious fanatics and as such enormously irritating. Other than that she was fine, nice voice, looked good.

I couldn't get past the main female character wearing knee high boots in summer with sleeveless dresses. Then in one scene she has taupe boots on one minute and the next frame black........same scene. Strange.

These kind of films are not normally my thing. However, lockdown makes for strange bedfellows!

Normally films of this genre are toe-curling in their 'sugaryness' and I started to watch some others and lasted about 10 minutes, they were that bad.

This one though was a cut above. It had a decent plot, it didn't have a ditsy female lead, the cop was played by Faramir from Lord the Rings (so he can act) and I found it a pleasant way to fill in a break with a cuppa and a biscuit.
