Ok... another Chick Flick question...?

Do guys, or girls define what a chick flick is? I mean would a guy say, "no straight guy would watch that movie unless he was forced by his girlfriend." or would a girl say, "OMG this is like the best movie ever, all girls should watch this movie!"

ok maybe thats not exactly what would be said, but you get the point!

Update:

Ok i know what a chick flick is... but who decides if its a chick flick or not, girls or guys?

    I think a "chick flick" is a movie that would be enjoyed more by a female audience than a male audience. Not to say that a "straight guy" wouldn't like it but the movie is geared to be viewed by women. Examples: 27 dresses, P.S. i love you, the notebook, nanny diaries, legally blonde ....ect. Hope this answers your question.

  • Wikipedia does an admirable job of defining a chick flick (see below). To me it would generally encompass mass-market romantic comedies with your typical storyline of "A and B intitally hate each other but eventually end up together" or "A and B are perfect for each other but for whatever reason are kept apart, only to get together at the end".

    Nothing wrong with watching them; every so often we need movies of the 'popcorn' genre. Still, I'd rather watch B-grade, mindlessly violent movies. This coming from a guy, of course. Haha.

    I think a chick flick is a movie that appeals to women more than does men.
