They're actually alright, so why do males act like their so unbearable to watch? Or are they covering up their real feelings and trying to look hard...:mog: action can wait, time for some romance!
What do you think of chick-flick movies, do you think males are being false when they strongly say that they hate them?
Tell me some of your favorites?
I hate chick flicks, they're boring and cheesy.
Because most of them aren't any better than all right, if they even achieve that status. A predictable and sappy romance with generic comedy elements and cookie cutter plot twists isn't what I watch movies for.
I will make an exception for any chick flick with John Cusack in it, because John Cusack is awesome. Serendipity, for instance.
I thought that was a misnomer, chick-flick, since it's usually men and women seeing them, regardless of who is willing and who is not.Quote:

Once in awhile there will be one that's okay, like Fever Pitch, but otherwise I stay far away from them. It's a waste of my time to watch a movie where I already know exactly what's going to happen, and the rest of it isn't good enough to make up for that.
I freakin' love chick flicks.
One I'm completely infatuated with right now: Pride and Prejudice (2005 version).
It's a lovely lovely movie with really superb acting and stunning cinematography. There are moments in the film where I just want to dive into the screen and drink it all up.
I made my boyfriend watch various chick flicks including Bring it On and Moulin Rouge. :D
For me there are two types of Chick Flicks, the stupid tweeny ones starring Hillary Duff and whatever puffed up Princess happens to be starring and the ones featuring people of older ages.
These in my opinion are the better ones (Also loved Serendipity) The acting is just better and it doesn't feel like it's intended for little kids. That and it just seems more believeable to find the love of your life at that age. In teen movies the girl nearly always has to bend over backwards for the guy or if they actually happen to be one of those power girls that seem to be cropping up, their spine is quickly ripped out and they turn soppy at the prom.
I cried at the end of The Notebook.
Seriously, no. Chick Flicks suck.
I don't really watch chick flicks, and it's not because they're bad or because I'm trying to be macho. It's because I have no desire to watch them.
Just like girls don't like watching action movies or whatever.
chick flicks aren't bad...some of them have good stories...they're just boring as all hell. i need violence or space ships or swords and magic or ghosts...if chick flicks incorporate those elements, and many do, i will watch them.
Shaun of the Dead (sorta).Quote:

Although it was kinda like chick-flick, but there was hardly any bull:skull::skull::skull::skull:.
Pride and Prejudice was actually allright. But all those other :skull::skull::skull::skull:y films just piss me off
(SPOILER)Except for American Pie, coz its funny as smurf.
This statement bleeds truth and awesome. Serendipity is a great movie and John Cusack is a delightful chap.Quote:

The majority of chick flicks are "lol bad" but some of them are really good. Even the bad ones are decent enough to watch. I enjoy a chick flick every once and awhile.
10 Things I Hate About You is a good movie. :x
Meh... I don't like macho films or chick flicks. :p
Chick-flicks just make me laugh, and that's why I watch them most of the time.
I have nothing against chick flicks. I actually think that many of them are quite alright - I know they're not great movies like e.g. The Godfather or Chinatown, but so do the people that make them. They're not supposed to be works of art, but just more like "hollow entertainment" that will make you forget the world and what's going on for a second. That said, of course there are some horrible chick flicks out there - most of them with Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan. Anyway, here are some examples of chick flicks that I actually enjoyed:
- The Sweetest Thing
- The Holiday
- The Family Stone
- Charlie's Angels 1 & 2
- Clueless
- 13 Going on 30
etc.
