Is this a chick flick?

Chick flick is too broad of term. It can be used to describe overly sappy pretentious romantic crap. However the term is often applied to really good movies with a lot of heart too, like this one. I would say that yes it probably is a "chick flick" by most standards, but its a damn good movie.

Definitely not. I hate chick flicks and I LOVE this movie.

It's a story about love and friendship and family, even those not related in the strictest sense. It just happens to have two pairs of strong female leads. I consider The Notebook a chick flick because of the expressed love relationship, but I love it, too!

We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.

If there are grownup female characters, character development, and a realistic human story instead of grim dudes in plastic suits with molded-in fake abs chasing each other and fighting and blowin' stuff up, then it's a chick flick.

I never thought of "chick flick" as derogatory. Simply films that focus on women and are extremely dramatic.

It's one of the biggest Chick flicks ever made but I watched it quite a bit growing up. My Sister liked it a lot. Great Performances in it.

My wife likes this movie a lot, some time ago she asked me to watch it too and I think it is a good movie.

Obviously it's almost entirely focused on "women's themes" so the question seems silly. Of course it's a chick flick.

Then again, I've seen a few bona fide chick flicks in my day, and honestly most of them were pretty enjoyable to watch. I was expecting this one to be enjoyable too, but it was kind of a chore to get through somehow. Not sure why, exactly. It certainly had its moments, but all in all I was just wishing it would hurry up and be over.
