Ah yes, the ever-dreaded ‘chick flick.’ We all know it when we see it: sappy music, love stories, Katherine Heigl. Men avoid these movies like post-coital conversation, and most would assume that the straight males at the opening screening of Sex and the City were begrudgingly dragged their by their significant others. I mean hey, relationships are all about compromise right? I myself agreed to see the forgettable flick Resident Evil Extinction in return for having my hubby accompany me to see Milk (which he really enjoyed by the way, sort of a shitty give and take on my part.) If this has happened to you before, don’t fear. I’m here now to offer up my picks of 7 movies that appear to be ‘chick filcks’ but will be enjoyed by all.
