I Don’t Like "Chick Flick".
There are so many films that get casually written off as “chick flicks,” often just because they focus on fashion, friendship, or female leads. That label might seem harmless, but it can flatten movies that are actually smart, funny, and emotionally layered.
It’s a term loaded with gendered and age-based assumptions — like these stories are light, unserious, or only meant for “girls.”
That doesn’t sit right with me.
Legally Blonde? Sharp writing, great energy.
The Devil Wears Prada? A surprisingly nuanced take on power, ambition, and the cost of success.
Not exactly fluff.
I’m not saying “chick” is inherently derogatory. But the way “chick flick” gets used? It often comes with a quiet kind of condescension.
So here’s my question:
What’s a genuinely good movie that often gets dismissed as a “chick flick”? And why do you think that is?
Let’s give these films the conversation they deserve. 🎬💬
