My rating on a 1-10

flick

McAdams, Channing Tatum
Length: About two
hours
Based on: A true
story, if I remember right?! Anyone know for sure?
Time period: Present
Rating: PG-13
Year it came out: 2012
My overall opinion: I
liked it better than The Notebook. No,
but seriously. This was a sweet movie and melted my heart just a little bit in
some parts. If you need a sweet chick flick for an evening, consider this one!

My rating on a 1-10
scale: 8
Genre: Chick
flick, life, family, romance
Primary actors: Zac
Efron, Taylor Schilling
Length: Two hours
Based on: the
book by Nicholas Sparks, I think
Time period: Present
Rating: PG-13
Year it came out: 2012
My overall opinion: Not
bad! Hmmm. I guess what struck me most was the way Zac walked – it was kinda
weird. But that’s probably just me. Overall? I liked it, other than a few
scenes. The ending was a little melo-dramatic, I thought, but it was a sweet
story and moved along at a good pace, while still being laid-back and peaceful.
A good movie for filling an extra evening.
My rating on a 1-10
scale: 8
Genre: Chick
flick
Series or set: Sequel
to Legally Blonde
Primary actors: Reese
Witherspoon, Sally Field
Length: Two hours
Time period: Present
Year it came out: 2003
My overall opinion: Way
too much pink. That’s what I think. An interesting story, though I enjoyed the
first more. But this one…I was feeling a little over-pink by the end of it all.
Because EVERYTHING was pink. I’m not that fond of pink to begin with…and
definitely not by the end. BUT. That being said. Not a bad sort of movie. I
watched the whole thing and enjoyed it for the most part.
My rating on a 1-10
scale: 8
Genre: Chick-flick,
family (yeah…this movie has a lot of family…just sayin’), comedy
Primary actors: A
lot of Greek people…
Length: Two hours
Time period: Present.
Or maybe the 80s? Or 90s? Hereabouts.
Year it came out: 2002
My overall opinion: I
had very high hopes for this movie considering how popular it is, but was a
little disappointed. The comedy wasn’t bad, indeed, the movie overall wasn’t
bad. But I didn’t LOVE it or find it super outstanding. It was good. It wasn’t
awesome. And I don’t desperately want to watch it again. However, I’m glad I
did see it once – and while I’d say that you don’t really need to see it, you
probably won’t hate it. Unless you hate chick-flicks. Then, never mind.
Before I even continue this…let’s stop. Just stop. I can see all those
surprised faces. “She watched ‘Legally Blond’?” Yes. I did. I’m in college now
and my roommate loves chick-flicks, so I’ll be watching quite a few probably.
You are warned. And now that we have that out of the way, let’s begin.
My rating on a 1-10
scale: 8.5 high
Genre: Chick-flick
Series or set: There
is a Legally Blond 2 but it’s not
really a series. (edit: having now seen Legally Blonde 2 yes it is a series watch them in order. That's all.)
Primary actors: Reese
Witherspoon
Length: Two hours
Time period: Present
Year it came out: 2001
My overall opinion: Let
me just start by saying that if chick-flicks aren’t your thing, don’t watch
this. Because it’s totally a chick-flick. Secondly, be warned – there are some
inappropriate things, language, innuendo, etc. You can no-doubt find a full
list on IMDB or another movie review type site. However, barring those things –
this was a really fun movie that I greatly enjoyed! It had humor that was
funny, interesting people, and while rather superfluous (ummm, hello – it’s a
chick-click) it was a fairly good movie that I have no objection to seeing
again. Also, Reese Witherspoon is super cute. And blond. And ditzy. And smart. And crazy. And wears a great deal of pink.

(be warned, I’m watching chick-flicks now!)
Primary actors: Sandra
Bullock, Christopher Plummer
Length: Two hours
Time period: Present
– early 2000s
Year it came out: 2006
My overall opinion: Well,
it’s sort of a chick flick. It’s actually just one of the sweetest and most
romantic stories I’ve seen on screen for a long time. Most of the movie, the
main couple isn’t together – they’re just writing letters. There’s an element
of time travel, for lack of a better way to describe it. Sandra Bullock is
a.m.a.z.i.n.g. I thought. Enjoyed her acting so much! It moved along smoothly
and sweetly, but wasn’t really predictable. However, this is totally a movie
I’d watch again.
My rating on a 1-10
scale: 8 high
Genre: Chick
flick
Primary actors: Amanda
Bynes, Channing Tatum, Laura Ramsey
Length: Two hours
Based on: Very
loosely on Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night –
if you read that, then watch this, there are some similarities in names and
such.
Time period: Present
Year it came out: 2006
My overall opinion: So
interesting and brilliant! There are a few times when inappropriate things are
mentioned, but for the most part, I really enjoyed this fascinating and unique
movie. Like I said, it’s loosely based on Twelfth
Night. I watched 2/3 of this, read Twelfth
Night for my English Lit class, then finally had time to finish this – and was
happily surprised by the clear parallels. For a chick flick? Not bad at all.
Good comedy, good story.
