You're complaining about watching a movie like that? I'd watch something like that in a heartbeat.

I'm going to side with wikipedia on this one, they're mainly dealing with (centered around) love.

 

With this definition, I would put Princess bride in there.

It's like those really bad romance, girly movies Plasma. Like the ones that have no basis in reality and are totally void of any intelligent writing. At least that's how I've always seen that term used for.

 

 I've never seen chick flick used to just refer to romance in general. Ever.

Per Wikipedia:

 

Chick-flick is a slang term for a film genre mainly dealing with love and romance and designed to appeal to a largely female target audience.[1][2] Although many types of films may be directed toward the female gender, "chick-flick" is typically used only in reference to films that are heavy with emotion or contain themes that are relationship-based (although not necessarily romantic as many other themes may be present). Chick-flicks often are released en masse around Valentine's Day.

Generally, a chick-flick is a film designed to have an innate appeal to women, typically young women.[4] Defining a film a chick-flick is, as the New York Times has stated, more of a parlor game than a science.[5] These films are generally held in popular culture as having formulaic, paint-by-numbers plot lines and characters. This makes usage of the term "problematic" for implying "frivolity, artlessness, and utter commercialism", according to ReelzChannel.[3] However, several chick-flicks have received high critical acclaim for their stories and performances. For example, the 1983 film Terms of Endearment received Academy Awards for Best Screenplay, Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Actor in a Supporting Role.[6]

Some frequent elements of chick-flicks include having a female protagonist,[3] thematic use of the color pink (along with metaphorical allusions of the color),[4] and romance and/or dating based storylines.[7] Longtime producer Jerry Bruckheimer has remarked about the plots as "How do you cope with money and love?"

Well, since I'm not a big 300 fan, I wasn't too excited about watching that

[BastementSparkle 20,335]

I've always used it as a derogatory term for bad romance movies.

Not all... Princess Bride is a chick flick.... 

 

(In some people's minds)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah... Twilight counts.

(You see what I did there? :comeatus:)

(Note, I've never watched it, so I guess I can't really judge, but from what I've heard about it.....)

No, you just probably have enough common sense not to watch them.

I don't know. I haven't seen Princess Bride. If I thought it was a good movie I wouldn't call it a chick flick.

I only watch chick flicks if they have nudity. That way I get my soft core but have an excuse.

[Princess Pinny 6,099]

In other news the Isaac trailer got taken off Steam for reports of being too offensive.
