Who can resist a chick flick, feel good film full of love, humour, heart-break and lets not forget the attractive actors, the idealistic endings. It is the formula for every girls dream. So no wonder they are so popular, the small guilty pleasure of a chick flick is shared with all women.
The box office was over flowing the great heart wrenching and comical films in 2010, here are my top ten favourite.
1. Life as We Know It.
I absolutely loved this film, it had everything a great chick flick should have.
Staring Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel as Holly and Eric who are to people who are the complete opposites except for their best friends who happen to be married to one another. When the best friends die in an accident and leave their baby sophie in the custody of Holly and Eric is when the humourous string of event begin to unfold eventually causing the three of them to become a miss match family, or as it turns out not so miss matched. This is a great feel good, laugh along to film.
2. Sex and the City 2
Really what women could not love sex and the city, it has love, friendship, laughter and fashion along with a rather large helping of drama. These four ladies once again have created an amazing chick flick feel good film for everyone.
When Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha leave Manhattan and head of to Abu Dhabi it is inevitable that it is going to result in a number of humorous events.
3. Valentine’s Day
This was a perfect valentines day film for all the women out there, the plots short interconnecting stories all add up to one great film. Not to forget the more than star-studded cast including everyone you can think of and want in a romantic comedy. You could even watch this one with your boyfriend, between Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel and Jennifer Garner I am sure there will be enough to keep him entertained.
4. Letters to Juliet
It is like Amanda Seyfried’s character says in the film, you would not believe this is true unless it was in a film. The plot of rather unrealistic, but as the same time it is so dream like, so romantic that you soon forget the unrealistic aspects of the film and are quickly thrown in the overdose of romance that it supplies. Even better still, this film has not one but two love stories entwined into the plot.
5. The Switch
As I am sure most of you have noticed, Jennifer Aniston’s roles are all very similar, but really us women don’t care. She is funny, likable and basically perfect for the chick flick role, so, so what if all her roles are similar (as many critics have been pointing out recently) she does this role perfectly why would she want to try do something else. This film is quick witted and extremely funny.
6. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
So basically I just had to put this in the top ten, there is so much heart throb based around Robert Pattinson and Taylor Swift that I am sure there are even people out there asking why I did not putting it closer to the top of my list.
I will admit that I read all the books, more than once and am, like millions of others, a huge fan of this vampire’s tale. As far as films go it is not the best, but the hype that is built up around this saga takes any criticism away from these film and to be honest they don’t have to do that greater job of the filming, people will go watch it as it is because of the books and the crazy hype that they have created.
7. Eat, Pray, Love
Based on the memoir of Elizabeth Gilbert, a great book that I did read a while ago. Julia Roberts stars in this uplifting, soul searching, self-discovery journey that she is taken on.
Liz travels to three destinations after suffering from two heart-breaks; in Italy she re-discovers love for food, in India she discovers the power of prayer and finally in Bali she discovers true love.
8. Going the Distance
This is a storyline that I am sure many people can relate to. Drew Barrymore and Justin Long play a couple that are struggling to maintain their bi-costal relationship. The chemistry was great between these two stars, perhaps the rumour of an off screen relationship helped with that.
9. Burlesque
I have to admit that I was extremely curious to see how Christina Aquilera was going to be in her big screen debut. She certainly didn’t disappoint anyone and exceeded my expectations of her on screen as she stared along side Cher in one of the hottest chick flicks there has been in a while. There was most of the normal humour, heart break and romance that you would expect from a chick flick, but what I loved the most was the singing.
10. Morning Glory
I just loved this film, Rachel McAdams so cute in this role, the some what lost character. Although she was not lost in work, only in love until she gets a new position in a morning show and finds that she can learn to combine a love life and work. Laugh out loud funny as well as heart wrenchingly cute.
