Girls Film?

I watched this film a few days ago and I thought it was sublime. Really shows the insability, and strength of a true friendship. It had this wave of romanticism through it, without actually being a story about a romantic love.

However. I had this nagging feeling throughout it that I was watching a dreaded 'chick flick'.

I think I had that feeling simply because it's protagonists are female. However. Had they both had been male, it would have been a completely different film, and probably wouldn't have had that 'romantic' feeling to it. It certainly would've been more violent for a start. It doesn't follow the usual path of a chick flick, and I think with it being a British film, it seems to have this intrinsic value to it which it wouldn't have, had it been a Hollywood Film. However, I still get that feeling that I shall be one of the very very few males with it in my collection.
(I'm comfortable with that regardless....!)

I'm still in two minds.

Anyone else care to share their opinions or theories?
