Film Genre of the Day: Chick flick
Categories: Daily Advice
CHICK FLICK - A film designed to appeal to a female target audience. The term was first used in the 1980s when movies like Beaches gained popularity. While chick flicks always focus on themes that are relationship-based, they are not necessarily romantic and may not involve men. Many chick flicks also follow the “Cinderella” pattern – think The Princess Diaries, Pretty Woman, or The Devil Wears Prada!

I’m thinking “He’s Just Not That Into You:. Sometimes it’s fun to go with your girlfriends and just hang out.Right?
The term explains itself (for women) but I would have never thought it would be relationship-based.
