I love reading (of course) and I love chick flicks so how excited was I to find this site which features feminist critiques of chick flicks? (And it helps that it looks gorgeous too.)
In their introduction to these essays, Beth Gilligan and Jenny Jediny assert that "Within popular film criticism, the chick flick has yet to gain recognition beyond the glib and dismissive jargon reviewers of both sexes typically attach to this much-maligned subcategory." They then go on to review chick faves such as When Harry Met Sally, Pretty Woman and Bridget Jones's Diary from a feminist perspective.
Not only is it interesting, it's given me some great ideas for forthcoming Friday Flicks!
