The 20 Worst Chick Flicks of All Time

May 22nd, 2008 by Wendy

Tagged as: Chick flicks,Movie Posters,Movie Review

In honor of all the men who are going to be dragged kicking and screaming to the Sex and the City movie at the end of this month, we decided to look back at some of the worst movies in the genre.

While I’m sure some would disagree, not all chick flicks are bad, but what about those sappy messes that even women can’t stomach? Take a look at some of the offenders on our list of the 20 worst chick flicks of all time.

20. Autumn in New York

May/December romances… everybody loves those, right? Not so much when it’s aging Casanova Richard Gere and terminally ill Wynona Ryder. Richard Gere is a constant offender in the chick flick genre, as you’ll see as this list goes on. The end credits couldn’t come fast enough on this disaster. For that matter we couldn’t wait for Ryder to finally expire, although we would have preferred seeing Gere get hit by a bus. That sort of thing all too rarely happens in a chick flick though.

19. The English Patient

Long, drawn out, sweeping, epic… blech. I remember this movie being approximately 18 hours long. It also made us reconsider our annual effort to see all of the Academy Award nominations for Best Picture.

18. Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood

The tag line for this one was “Mothers. Daughters. The never-ending story of good vs. evil.” The never ending part was spot on.

17. The Notebook

This would have been a whole hell of a lot better if Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling had any chemistry. Although it did have the saving grace of making Alzheimer’s kind of amusing. The scene where old Rachel McAdams flips out on old Ryan Gosling screaming at him “Who are you?” had me laughing hysterically, so you know, there’s that.

16. Dr. T & The Women

Hey look, its Richard Gere again. The handful of people who actually saw this movie are probably wishing they had that 2 hours of their life back. Richard Gere is a gynecologist surrounded by all sorts of crazy bitches – so many characters, but not a lot o’ plot.

15. Sweet November

Hot eccentric bohemian chick spends a month warming Keanu Reeves’ ice cold ad exec heart. Except that it turns out she has terminal cancer. If you watch a lot of chick flicks you’ll learn that women are apparently really into terminal cancer.

14. You’ve Got Mail

Holy shit is that Dave Chappelle? That’s really the only thing worth mentioning with You’ve Got Mail. It’s hard to believe people willingly sat through a two hour AOL commercial.

13. The Prince of Tides

If you can take your eyes off of Barbra Steisand’s talon fingertips long enough to get to the heart of this movie…eh, who are we kidding? It sucks.

12. Georgia Rule

The only thing that could have saved this would have been some full frontal Lindsay Lohan nudity. No, actually, that wouldn’t have done it either. Felicity Huffman quite frankly frightens us.

11. Crossroads

This is one hot mess of a chick flick, y’all, but you have to give pre-crazy Britney Spears credit for attempting an acting career. And she’s probably a better actress than Mariah Carey in Glitter. Which isn’t saying much.

10. The Bridges of Madison County

Clint Eastwood basically betrayed America by making this movie. I don’t want to talk about it.

9. Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

I actually thought this was a sequel or something to Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood since they have equally stupid titles, but it turns out this is a standalone movie. You’re probably going to think I’m kidding but this movie is about a pair of pants that manages to fit four friends, despite their sizes ranging from cow to bulimic. And they’re making a sequel.

8. Fried Green Tomatoes

You’d almost think this is a man movie, what with the title focusing on fried vegetables, but it stars Kathy Bates and Jessica Tandy, which should pretty much clue you in on what you’re in for.

7. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

Do we really need to know how to lose a guy in 10 days? A good start is making him sit though this shitty movie. Matthew McConaughey seems to be trying really hard to be the modern day Richard Gere. Without all the gay porn. As far as we know.

6. Beaches

The quintessential chick flick that gives us life, love, divorce, happiness, bitchiness and death, all wrapped up in Bette Midler’s sappy sweet swan song “You are the wind beneath my wings.” Women cry; men cry for their sanity.

5. Sleepless in Seattle

Dripping with sweet sentimentality, Sleepless is most girls’ perfect date movie and most guys’ perfect nightmare.

Check out this Sleepless in Seattle trailer, revamped as a horror movie:

Also this is basically the same movie as You’ve Got Mail. Everyone knows this.

4. Dirty Dancing

You know the drill: nobody puts Baby in the corner. The corniest line ever uttered in a chick flick, which is a pretty spectacular achievement given the competition.

3. Steel Magnolias

It’s got the all-chick cast, including heavy hitters Shirley MacLaine and Sally Field. That should be a warning right there – add the death of Julia Roberts (of diabetes, not terminal cancer for once) and this tearjerker will have you clawing to leave the room.

2. Ghost

When the highlight of Ghost is Demi Moore’s clay potter’s wheel scene, there’s nowhere to go but down. This toilet dweller is only enhanced by the many stupid expressions of Patrick Swayze.

1. Titanic

Bonus points for a naked Kate Winslet (James Cameron knows to at least throw a bone to the guys watching) but ultimately you’re left wanting Leonardo DiCaprio to just hurry up and die already.

And finally our chick flick drinking game, the only way to watch these things and have a good time:

1) Take a drink when someone dies of a lengthy illness.
2) Take a drink whenever someone has cancer
3) Take a drink the first time Matthew McConaughey, Richard Gere, or Tom Hanks appears.
4) Take a drink whenever you see a woman over the age of 40 (be careful with this one, you could easily die of alcohol poisoning).
5) Take a drink for every single mother that appears.
6) Take a drink whenever someone cries onscreen.
7) Take a drink whenever someone mentions men disparagingly.

I wouldn’t put crap like Crossroads on the same list as Fried Green Tomatoes and the English Patient. Some of those movies are very well done and I really enjoyed. I appreciate the best of pretty much all genres of movies and art, and the fact that I don’t have an aversion to so-called “chick movies” (which is rarely a helpful designation) has scored me points with more than one woman.

You went wrong when you defined all of these movies as ‘chickflicks’. Some are, some aren’t. Some of them are romantic comedies, several of them pretty good — loved You’ve Got Mail and Sleepless in Seattle, which itself does a really terrific riff on ‘chickflicks’. Generally speaking, a chickflick was a ‘weepy’ shown during the golden age of Hollywood during weekday matinees to attract housewives to the theaters as their husbands worked. A great example of this genre was Since You Went Away or The Clock, or more recently (except the matinee part) Steel Magnolias. This review seems too brittle and more than a little misogynist. Are you perhaps very young and prone to erections when things explode on screen?

Pretty solid list, but I’d swap out The English Patient (which, although long and heavy at least had some artistic merit) with At First Sight, which proved once and for all that Mira Sorvino is kryptonite, and that anybody pitching “a blind man finds true love” in a Hollywood producer’s office should be shot on site.

I agree with many of these films having a sucky qualities in them. But just because you don’t seem to regard high production and artistic values meeting a big budget epoch narrative equaling a great piece of cinematic entertainment, you should still have enough common sense to exclude English Patient from this list =)

Also, either it’s high quality romantic pieces equaling poor cinematic experience from a male point of view, or sorry excuses for a feature film, straight from the Hollywood RomCom assembly line of rehasing the shitties of the utter excrement all together, but Crossroads and Bridges of Madison County do not belong into the same list!

There’s no rhyme or reason here. You just made a list of movie YOU don’t like. That’s dumb. You’re dumb.

To me Sleepless in Seattle and You’ve Got Mail sort of epitomize the “chick flick” but this doesn’t make them bad. Next time just write about why you don’t like a genre. Again, you’re dumb. I’m burying your digg.

No, “Thelma and Louise” wasn’t sappy. In fact, I liked the movie, in part due to its lack of a terminal cancer theme. Most of the males in the movie, however, were portrayed as sufficiently abusive and/or moronic to place it in a special runner-up category.

Frankly, of all the things I have ever seen picked up on the Lew Rockwell website, this drivel is the worst of all. It is indeed misogynistic, it is childish and it shows the author only calls a movie a “chickflick” if it invokes any kind of emotion.

Several movies on this list are simply terrible movies, but I bet you more than you have in your pocket that some male took a female to these movies hoping to get “lucky.” Very few of these are movies that women went to see on their own.

Finally, don’t we have enough hate and dissension in this world without pandering to “chickflick” terminology? Phrases like that are only meant to demean women, and are not funny.

Just the word “chick” is meant to be demeaning. Name a similar title that refers to movies that vapid men like to see – oh yes, chick definitely implies that the woman so named is vapid.

So to the writer – shame on you for falling into the shock value trap to write some drivel just so you can take pot shots at a movie that has yet to come out and most likely will not put men in such a great light (aw, poor baby, can’t take a movie that says men are not gods in all senses of the word?)

To Mr. Rockwell, a little taste please? I would have thought you above “the demeaning women to get a few readers” crowd.

I mean, any girl who has Army of Darkness and Shaun of the Dead in her DVD collection before she met me is a keeper. I was just in love with her right away. Sadly, she broke up me. It sucked. I also watched Crossroads when Mike Nelson did a rifftrax on it. I felt really weird watching it…kinda like I was a sex offender just for watching it…

Now if you ever think of posting the top chick flicks of all time, may I propose a contender ? “C’t a ton tour, Laura Cadieaux” with the inimitable Ginette Reno and an ensemble cast of great actors and a truly fun story that real women (with appearance issues) can relate to. Unfortunately it is French with subtitles, but the humour is rippingly good.

Could you produce a list of the 20 best so I can see the difference?

A chick flick involves much more than just a lot of female screen time. “Gone With the Wind” is not a chick flick; neither is “The English Patient.” Neither is “Psycho.”

And what are the worst 20 guy movies?

I agree with the English Patient. I was bored to tears with that movie. Just because it is a long, drawn out, war set, serious film doesn’t make it a good movie. English Patient is about as bad as Good Will Hunting and A Beautiful Mind, which are movies that are long, drawn out, and serious but fail to entertain. With the Notebook, I agree too because it was far too long, so naturally, I started to get bored with it. Some I disagree with, but it is merely a matter of taste.

Okay don’t mean to be rude or anythng it’s just that the list is so totally stupid that I just had to put in my own two lines.

You’ve Got Mail, The Notebook, Sleepless in Seattle *retard! this is such a beautiful movie!* are all beautiful, and thanks for adding Sweet November there, now I KNOW I have to get it ~_^ your list is indeed the best female movies list ~_^

Thanks for sharing your opinion and letting us have a good laugh at your half witted comments about the movies that you probably haven’t actually seen and just heard about from guy friends who have no tatse and thus when you ran out of ideas you wrote a blog post on this one rofl, I’m a blogger so yeah I know how the story goes.

I can tell you have good brains though, your remarks about the movies are funny (though not true mostly), had you used your wit in a good way I think it would’ve been way more interesting, word of advice, next time actually see a movie before attepmting to write about it =)

And it’s not “old Rachel McAdams flips out on old Ryan Gosling” it’s Gene Rowlands and James Garner. At least get the actors right.

I agree about dropping the term “worst”, but these are really chick flicks. Phillip S who stuck up for Titanic has me puzzled. That movie had me cheering for the iceberg. One exception: I would sub out English Patient, which is just tedious, for Pretty Whore, oops, I mean Pretty Woman, which in addition to having both Richard Gere(!) and Julia Roberts(!!) also puts out the extremely weird and destructive notion that selling one’s body is fun, allows you to meet neat fellow whores and is a great way to meet sensitive billionaires.

The Titanic is not just some cheesy chick-flick and it deffinately doesn’t suck.

Titanic- you had nothing bad to say about it, also Leonardo DiCaprio= HOT. It’s a great movie and doesn’t deserve jackasses like you watching it.
Ghost= How can you hate it? Patrick Swayze, amazing actor, great film.
Dirty Dancing- Well, everyone i know loves this film, i only just watched it last night after thinking it would be a peice of shit, but i was proved wrong.
Georgia Rule- Watched it when i was bored, it was good? Why the hell is it on your so-called “list”

But hey all people have opinons about things but why not spend your time doing, writing or watching something you actually like? Instead of wasting your time on something you “disliked” so much?

And I understand why some guys may not like chick flicks and it’s all good. But why not just let people like what they like? It’s healthy to express feelings of emotion…just as you do to the other movies you may like…

So I’m just saying there is no need to be posting crap like this on the internet…You hate chick flicks? Fine, good for you…You love chick flicks? Great, good for you too…no need to hate on each other.

Just food for thought…

Chick flicks…guy dicks…opps, I meant to say guy flicks… Give me a break. The claim is that all chick flick movies are the same and yet nothing is said about those “action/adventure” films for men- like they offer a lot of variety. BOOM! SPLAT! CRASH! Yeah, they are so original. These kinds of movies are an escape. What critics of these chick flicks seem to be condemning is that what some women like in escapist films is different from what men like, with the implication being that this difference makes ‘chick flicks” of lesser value than action/adventure movies. If you’re going to trash escapist genres for women than trash escapist genres for men as well. Better yet, get over it and just leave the people who enjoy these types of film alone.

Some of those movies are absolute classics. Don’t forget, for the person who said “she obviously isn’t getting any” that romance is NOT sex. Women want romance. And if you give them romance you will get sex. You men haven’t learned anything in thousands of years.

Some of my favorite chick flicks are The Notebook, Grease, Dirty Dancing and You’ve Got Mail, which very (and are) all very popular! So I don’t really think they deserve to be on the list.

If I made a list of guy movies I hate, I would also love to put Matrix on there, because I thought that was incredibly BORING, but I wouldn’t do it because I know this is just my personal taste and not the quality of the movie… so you’re list shouldn’t be named “The Worst Chick Flicks” but more “The Chick Flich I personally Do Not Like”.

Chick flicks that deserve to be on that list are for example Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Gigli and Material Girls, because those are truly bad movies.

Titanic, Dirty Dancing, Ghost, The Notebook, Steel Magnolias.

I’m a gay guy and have to say that chick flicks suck, in a bad way. I’m surprised that “Bridget Jones’ Diary” didn’t show up; wanted to tear my eyeballs out.

There’s a difference between emotional movies that are real and sincere. Good examples (gay and straight) include “Talk to Her”, “My Beautiful Launderette”, “Cassablanca”, “The African Queen”, “Big Eden”, “Km. 0″, “Wild Reeds”, “Closer”, “Breakfast at Tiffanys” (but read the book), and “Manhatten”.

Then there are bad romantic movies that are based upon formula, stereotype, and political correctness. Like most of the movies on this list. This category we call Chick Flicks.

And to the breeder boys who think all gays like chick flicks, you’re not my type anyway. Most gay guys I know are either bodybuilders or ride motorcycles. I feel sorry for you because you probably because you’re p-whipped and don’t have the balls to control your own destiny.

Any wedding-themed movie is definitely a chick-flick, with the exception of “Wedding Crashers”, where Vince Vaugn is only looking for free beer and booty.
