  • Summary: Beseiged by legal problems (he was arrested in Chicago on child pornography-related charges) and rampant bootlegging of an earlier effort ('Loveland') that forced him to abandon that project, Kelly finally returns with a follow-up to 2000's 'TP-2.Com.'

    Overlong, but Chocolate Factory is an impressively varied opus. [May 2003, p.100]

    Solid and pleasing, if somewhat predictable.

    Declawed and hesitant, it's hard to get excited about this piece of funkless confection.
