2000 Charlotte Gay & Lesbian Film Series, presented by OutCharlotte

Better Than Chocolate
Thursday, January 27 - 7:00 & 9:15pm
Park Terrace Cinemas, Park & Woodlawn Roads

Written by Peggy Thompson.  Directed by Anne Wheeler.

     Deliciously ambitious and terrifically entertaining, this super sexy 
story of love and courage unites people from many walks of life, as it 
moves briskly to the beat of girl power.  When 19-year-old Maggie s nutty 
mother calls and says she s moving in, Maggie must find a sublet apartment 
and make it livable fast.  To complicate matters, she has just met the 
sultry Kim, an artistic road warrior who has rolled into town, quickly 
moving into her heart and into her new home.  But Maggie hasn t come out to 
her mother yet, so it s time to hide the sex toys and  straighten up. Add 
to the picture her lovesick best friend Judy, a MTF transsexual estranged 
from her family; her uptight lesbian boss; and Maggie s randy teen brother 
who gets a few lessons on life.

     Better Than Chocolate is a raucous roller-coaster of campy exploits 
and over-the-top situations with a gorgeous cast and a playful attitude
towards sex.  Body paint sales will skyrocket because of one particularly 
sexy scene between the two young leads.  Issues such as coming out, hate 
crimes and the continuing debate about the acceptance of transgenderism in 
the community are touched upon with intelligence, sensitivity and
humor.

     Adding to this wonderful romance is music by Bif Naked, Ani
DiFranco, Ferron and Sarah McLachlan.  A mad frolic of a movie, great for a first
date or a hot-and-heavy night on the town.

     The 7:00pm showing of Better Than Chocolate is underwritten by
White Rabbit Books & Things.
