Pelea de gatas

No one is going to ever call this one a classic, but it was cute and entertaining enough. Plenty of cliches to go around, but it had a decent heart. Solid actors and a decent script.

Initially I must admit that I wasn't really expecting much from the 2020 movie "Chick Fight", given its synopsis and with it having Malin Akerman and Alec Baldwin on the cast list. However, I didn't know that it was also a comedy prior to watching it, had I known that, then I must admit things would initially have looked more up for the movie prior to watching it.

And now that I have watched it, I must say that "Chick Fight" was a good combination of action and comedy, with a pinch of drama as well. This movie is not to be taken 100% as a serious action and fighting movie, and if you do so you'll probably end up not liking the movie. I think the comedy elements in "Chick Fight" definitely helped spruce up the movie and make it an enjoyable movie to watch.

As for the cast list, well both Malik Akerman and Alec Baldwin were surprisingly good here in this movie. And it was nice to see the likes of Dulcé Sloan, Kevin Nash and Alec Mapa in the movie as well, especially the latter two as they were just hilarious in their roles. It was good to see Marissa Labog in the movie, just a shame that her role wasn't given more screen time.

The storyline in "Chick Fight" is very straight forward and requires almost nothing to keeping up with. This means that the movie is rather predictable, and you know the outcome of the movie right away, of course. But that is okay, because the movie actually works out nicely as a whole.

I was genuinely entertained by "Chick Fight" and I am rating it a six out of ten stars. I believe that this movie is definitely worth taking the time and effort to sit down and watch.

We get it, Hollywood and some viewers feel that certain character's genders or races are unrepresented. They do not ALL have to be in one film though. At it's core, I feel that this had a decent story to tell and from a unique perspective. It all was cluttered in too much WOKEfulness though and not in a subtle or thought-provoking way. The writers just hit you over the head with it, repeatedly.

Final thought, this tries to be an empowering film, but too much going on in the sideshows to develop characters and keep the story progressing to a conclusion.

What an incredible waste of time for everyone involved, especially the audience. Do the companies actually make money off this garbage?

Maybe if they didn't give the cop friend so much screen time with her extremely unfunny personality, it would be better.

One time watch at best. Production quality is good. Fight scenes are BAD, you have people waiting to be hit like they use to do in 80's & 90's movies. This is magnified when they use slowmo, you have a fighter standing there with their arms down just waiting to be hit.

This feels like a feminism overcorrection movie with a side of racial overcorrection. This seems to be all the rage at the moment in hollywood, people feeling guilted into choosing these loosely entertaining ideas and hiring people based purely on the colour of their skin, gender or sexual orientation rather than the merits of their hard work or suitability for the job.

I feel as though the budget and talent in this film could have been used in a better way to make a movie that wouldn't collect such review as "Don't even bother watching".

Bad stuff aside, movies as entertainment, it was reasonably entertaining but the lack of original thought left me thinking it could have been more.
