Who Here Dislikes "Chic Flics"?

Post Reply New Topic

("Chic Flics" being an American term for "touchy-feely" kinds of films that women are supposed to like).

I guess I just wanted to know if anyone else hated "Sleepless in Seattle" as much as I did...

I also have a hard time, generally, relating to women in films. I can relate to only a few, and they are usually quite non-conventional.

I don't like those kind of films, too cheesy and very unrealistic.
Last film I watched was "confessions of a shopaholic" because there was nothing else on, anyway it was one of the worst films I've seen, boring and cliched.

They're horrible

Will never see one again unless I'm dragged along to it

Sorry and I hope this doesn't offend any of the chicks here but hate em' especially those silly lifetime movies.

I could do without another soap opera.

i hate them.

they inspire unreasonable expectations in women: unrealistically romantic, overly melodramatic, all about female empowerment, with a happily ever after ending - except "Thelma & Louise."

if chick flicks reflect real life, then all women are interested only in shopping, girls night out, and acquiring a man they do not have or getting rid of the one they do - usually both. also, chick flicks portray a woman in such a way that deep down inside she only an awkward, uncertain ugly duckling who blossoms into the fulness of her womanhood only in the presence of the one man who is her true soul mate - usually someone she has never even considered in that way before.

if chick flicks reflect real life, then all men are either bumbling buffoons, lecherous slobs, self-absorbed narcissists, clueless loners, or insensitive louts, and only the love of a woman can turn him into a prince charming. also, chick flicks portray men in such a way that they only function to either antagonize a woman into becoming stronger or to make her deleriously happy by becoming her own personal love-puppy.

Junk food for the soul.

I have watched a few out of the same morbid curiosity that has caused me to watch Sex and the City....To study these females that are nothing at all like me whatsoever and their interractions with males that are nothing like anything I have ever encountered.

There are different kinds of chick flicks......main stream...indie....yada yada.....

I can't say that I hate all of them because there are certain kinds of chick flicks that I kinda like....I mean...what constitutes Chick Flick really?....

Most of them. A few are okay. I like Pretty Woman.

Some chick flicks are ok. I liked the one with Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore, mainly because of the music. The romantic comedies like Pretty Woman, however, tend to be simplistic, insulting and predictable. Hate them.

in general i don't like watching movies.. i don't really like watching tv - there must be something extremely interesting that would make me want to sit in front of the *box* and watch..

i sometimes hear some people saying how they spend their evenings at home - "we watch dvd, we watch the tv" and i'm thinking something like *what a boring evening...*

i don't like these kinds of movies, they make me sleepy, i sort of manage to catch some fragments to know more or less what's going on, but i would prefer to do something else - my mum often watches them and i usually listen with one ear while working on my computer or talking to someone. i remember some time ago my classmate was talking about "titanic" and "bodyguard" movies. after it turned out i hadn't seen them, she started to hassle me - oh, how come you didn't see those WONDERFUL movies, you MUST see them (blah blah blah).. she didn't understand the simple fact that i DON'T like watching especially that kind of films

Romantic comedies make me shudder, but sometimes I just have to tolerate them. The last one I had to sit through was "P.S I Love You". My brother's GF wanted to watch it

Same here. I absolutely loathe Lifetime movies. I think they're tagline should be "Lifetime: television for victims" rather than television for women. Seems that many of the movies they show portray women as weak. I'm not a fan at all of chick flicks, or of what I consider to be tv shows aimed at women (Ghost Whisperer, Gilmore Girls, etc.).

I like movies where women actually do things. Stories where the plot is purely about people's emotional experiences don't interest me.

OMG I HATE THEM!! !!

I don't understand why women apperently want to get emotionally upset? In addition, they are very boring. I also don't like movies that are meant to inspire feminist type feelings.. eg a movie with a woman who phyically kicks the ass of men or something like that.

It's rediculous and stupid
