Chick Flicks
Though  strong female characters have long sashayed across the silver screen, only recently have many woman-anchored films been slapped with the term "chick flick." Now, in this round-up of some of the most famous, and egregious, flicks with chicks, NotComing.com conjures up Holly Golightly, Private Benjamin, Bridget Jones, Erin Brockovich, high-school cheerleaders, and working girls of both types to examine, critique, and—yes—praise this so-called genre. Nora Ephron, the writer/director behind a slew of seminal movies, and Julia Roberts, the "juggernaut actress" of the field, get special billing. "Meditations on the Little Black Dress" delivers some fascinating background on the making of "Breakfast at Tiffany's." And the beyond-the-grave weepies "Ghost" and "Truly, Madly, Deeply" scare up a marvelously withering comparison. Ready the cameras. The chick flick is ready for its close-up. (in Movies & Film) |
