Sub genres of the Chick Flick
· Tearjerkers are gal-pal films, movies about family and emotional crises. They are traditionally ‘weepies’ and fantasy-action adventures, sometimes with powerful females and bonding situations involving families and woman’s issues. An example of a tearjerker is ‘The Notebook.’
Rom-com
· Rom coms are films with light-hearted, humorous plot lines, centred on romantic ideas such as true love. Examples of a Romantic comedy are Bridget Jones’ Diary and What Happens in Vegas.
Guy com
· A guy chick flick is a movie where feelings and emotions are discussed and/or dealt with, but from the guy's point-of-view, and with minimum sap. They may contain things most guys enjoy, like sport, and strong language, but they are always about guys dealing with life, their futures, or relationships with women, family, and/or friends. Examples of guy coms are American Pie and The Hangover.
