As men, we all have to endure the occasional "chick flick". If we never had to we would probably be missing out on some sex so it is a necessity at some point. So I've compiled a short list of 4 movies that OK to enjoy as a guy without in any way questionning your own sexuality or manliness. In the essence of fairness and ying/yang I've also defined the 4 movies that are NOT OK to like as man.
Just to be fair, the 4 movies that are NOT OK to like do not make you less of a man in anyone's eye; they are just bad movies for guys. If you do like them I am not questionning your manliness but only your taste in movies.
Top 4 chick flicks that are OK and NOT OK to like as a guy:
OK 4- Father of the Bride
Why is it a chick flick?
Story of a father who loses his first daughter to marriage and deals with it in a very deep and personal way.
Why is it OK for me as a guy to like it?
Two words: Steve Martin! Yep, the jerk himself makes this movie OK to watch as a guy because he's just funny in the way he handles himself. It's also not too much of a chick flick and almost more of a comedy (and that, my friends, is only because of Steve Martin). Anyone else in that title role would have made this movie a total chick flick.
NOT OK 4- When Harry Met Sally
Why is it a chick flick?
Story of two lovers across time and differences who end up together after blah blah blah...
Why is it NOT OK for me as a guy to like it?
Two words: Meg Ryan. Nuff said!
OK 3- WALL-E
Why is it a chick flick?
One cute little robot falling for another cute little robot and then they save humanity with their cuteness = Total chick flick!
Why is it OK for me as a guy to like it?
Pretty simple; it's actually a good movie with laughs and Wall-E is THE MAN! He's like the sole survivor of the robot race and in such is like a robot Clint Eastwood. A robot Clint Eastwood is ALWAYS OK for guys. Especially when they save the world. A ROBOT Clint Eastwood!!!!
NOT OK 3- You've Got Mail
Why is it a chick flick?
Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan fall in love through email...
Why is it NOT OK for me as a guy to like it?
See above answer: email, c'mon!
OK 2- Roxanne
Why is it a chick flick?
A modern retelling of the story of Cyrano De Bergerac where a long nosed man falls in love with a beautiful woman and helps someone else fall in love with her only for her to fall in love with his words after she blah blah blah...
Why is OK for me as a guy to like it?
Again, Steve Martin (can you tell there's a pattern here people) plays the modern version so it makes it funny but most importantly he's a friggin FIREMAN! That's right, the man is a FIREMAN. Movies with FIREMEN are always cool for guys!!!
NOT OK 2- Sleepless in Seattle
Why is it a chick flick?
Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan fall in love because she heard him speak on a radio show blah blah blah...
Why is it NOT OK for me as a guy to like it?
It's just too much! Any real man would have called bull**it about halfway trough the movie. It's just too impossible and it also stars Meg Ryan.
OK 1- The Notebook
Why is it a chick flick?
A couple fall in love despite all sorts of obstacles and problems and blah blah blah...
Why is it OK for me as a guy to like it?
Well, the guy in it is not a panzy (as in most chick flicks) but a real man and he gets the girl without really trying so that makes him cool. Also, I liked it alot so it must be OK for guys and Meg Ryan never got near it.
NOT OK 1- Pretty Woman
Why is it a chick flick?
A hooker and a John (yes, that's what you call people that hire hookers) fall in love despite being a hooker, and her client.
Why is it NOT OK for me as a guy to like it?
Just read over that last sentence. It's a hooker who falls for her client and the client who falls for the hooker. In what universe does this take place again?
Tune in for more this week!
