"Hot Topic: The Movie."  OhmyNews.com  Brian Orndorf

C
"Blood & Chocolate is a werewolf movie for teen girls to giggle at when they aren't contemplating their own quest for sensual and societal freedom."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

"The film's awkward connections among nationality, gender, and race ("human" and "canine") never quite cohere, but Vivian's ability to embrace her dual nature marks her difference from her narrowly focused masculine associates."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

2/4
"...the film's positives are ultimately outweighed by its negatives."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

0.5/4
"All things considered, a more appropriate title would have been Oil and Water."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

1/4
"A bland, forgettable, and sub-par teen marketed horror cash-in that bored me to tears..."  Cinema Crazed  Felix Vasquez Jr.

"For a werewolf movie, this is an awfully toothless, turgid effort."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

0/4
"Blood and Chocolate is an unmitigated triumph: it's successfully carved out a cozy niche in the hallowed halls of ineptitude."  eCinemaCenter.com  Gabe Leibowitz

1.5/4
"Blood and Chocolate has no audience. Horror fans will be disgusted by the lack of gore. Romance fans will be disgusted by the presence of gore."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

1/5
"click for review"  Movies for the Masses  Joseph Proimakis

1/5
"The only creature this heavily accented leader of the pack [Olivier Martinez] resembles is Pepé Le Pew."  Film-Forward.com  Kent Turner

2/4
"A far cry from such sneakily subversive werewolf-sex tales as The Company of Wolves or Ginger Snaps, this pallid little picture is all Lost Boys posturing by way of the sublimely ridiculous Covenant."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

1/4
"For a movie so humorless, it's amazing how much humor can be found while watching Blood and Chocolate."  Mark Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

D-
"Blood and Chocolate raises questions about the individual versus the group and tradition versus progress but...is more interested in flaunting the film's lame special effects than mining its thematic potential."  Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema  Mark Pfeiffer

C-
"This wolf story is toothless."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

1/4
"The derivative and dim-witted Blood and Chocolate at least provides a practical metaphor for its own detrimental impact on cinema culture."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

2/5
"Sangue & Chocolate talvez devesse se chamar Câmera & Lenta, já que sua diretora utiliza este recurso à exaustão ao longo da projeção."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

6/10
"A pack of attractive Romanians do it werewolf style in a mixed bag of teenage romance and watered down scariness. Unfortunately, neither romance or horror enough for enthusiasts of either persuasion."  Monsters and Critics  Ron Wilkinson

1.5/5
"A junior version of Underworld, minus the vampires, the action scenes, the cool FX, and the half-a-brain."  DVDTalk.com  Scott Weinberg

"I found Blood and Chocolate to be a lovely surprise, an imaginative and visually lush picture firmly rooted in the tradition of gothic romance and elegiac horror films about misunderstood monsters."  Salon.com  Stephanie Zacharek

1.5/4
"You could almost overlook the chemistry vacuum between Bruckner and Dancy, but the shots of actors leaping and morphing into wolves are so cheesy that they make the bargain-basement special effects in Teen Wolf look Oscar worthy in comparison."  Reel.com  Timothy Knight
