the business of chick flicks
hey peter,
you said:
>Um, it's a chick flick. Why would *my* opinion count
>for anything? :)
see, i was hoping (after seeing it) that it wouldn't
be pegged that way. it's soooo funny. it has major
interpersonal/emotional depth/healing stuff at the
core; but the humor alone renders it a recommendation
for any of my friends, male of female. especially
those of us who have connections to the southern u.s.
what was funny, regarding the chick-flick appeal, was
the heavy levels of estrogen present. it permeated
like a thick cloud. and then the women (including me)
stood around afterwards, outside the theater,
processing it.
maybe ya-ya is a chick-flick b/c mostly women read the
books of its basis? and why would wells' books appeal
only to women? anyone have stats on book clubs/groups
with regard to gender? it's been my anecdotal
experience that they're mostly women.
how would you guys define a "chick flick"?
20 questions,
j. marie
