Not long after moving into her own place, Maggie finds herself with two unsolicited roommates: her recently divorced mother, Lila, and her young brother. The timing is especially bad, considering Maggie has fallen hard for an attractive woman, Kim, only hours before they move in. What could be a nonissue becomes increasingly complicated -- since Maggie's family is unaware of her sexual orientation, and Maggie is not open to sharing that information.
Better Than Chocolate is a 1999 romantic comedy-drama about Maggie, a young woman navigating her sexuality and independence when unexpected family obligations collide with a budding romance. The film explores themes of coming out, family dynamics, and self-discovery through humor and heart. It's available to stream and own on various platforms.
