Worst Chick Flick Ever

[heybrad]

Last night I had to suffer through watching A Walk to Remember with Mandy Moore. It's one of my wife's favorite movies. The scene in particular that kills me is where after learning that Mandy Moore has leukemia (forgive me, I have no idea of the character names), the boyfriend rushes off to see his father who he has a strained relationship with and demands that since he's a doctor he cure her. The dad attempts to tell him that he would need to see her and understand her case, but the boyfriend just gets pissed and says "I knew you wouldn't help." Uh yeah... the dad can't cure cancer. And near the end the boyfriend... high school boyfriend... basically monopolizes all of the time in the hospital because... "I LOVE HER MAN!!!" I'd tell him to GTFO so the family could be with her.

Anyway... the movie annoys the hell out of me and I'm curious now as to what other chick flicks you've had to suffer through and what makes them major suckage.

I should have just gone upstairs and played minecraft.

hey brad

[Ksyrup]

Wait, they remade Love Story?

This is why I've instituted a no movies policy in my household.

[RomaGoth]

I took the high road last year and actually went to the movie theater with my wife and shelled out real American dollars for a Twilight movie......

yeah.

:(

[MJ4H]

oof

[Ksyrup]

Ouch.

Actually, it works really well in my house. When the wife wants to see a movie, I let her go with her friends, and I watch the kids. So she gets to see a movie, I get to not see a movie, and she gets a break from the kids. It's win-win.

Usually I can get away with this, but every once in a while I have to show some interest in stuff she likes. I nod my head and smile when she shows me a pair of new shoes, and I try to avoid crappy movies at all costs. With that being said, it does buy me about a month or so of guilt/complaint free video gaming. ;)

[Ksyrup]

My wife knows movies are off limits with me, so she doesn't even try anymore.

[heybrad]

Whenever my wife asks me to actually go out to the movies and it's for a chick flick I give my standard response of... "Is this the one where the guy gets the girl, loses the girl and they manages to get back together in the end?" At that point she doesn't want to go with me anyways, so she now goes with our daughter.

[Ksyrup]

Yeah, I tend to turn that kind of stuff into my own personal MST3K, so...

[MrBug708]

haha...I spent the ringing in of my birthday watching the second twilight film with my girlfriend. 12:01 on June 30th, I was in that theatre. Oddly enough the theatre was packed but no waiting in line for the men's restroom

[spleen1015]

I guess I am in the minority. My wife would rather see Transformers than a chick flick.

We went and saw the first Transformers for her 40th.

[cubboyroy1826]

Oh the Twilight flicks are such drivel. I mean vampires sparkle, really? I got into it with the wife when I sat through the first one and found out that vampires sparkled. There I was defending the qualities and characteristics of "real" vampires. The wife was very quick to note that vampire were not in fact real. To which I responded "this movie sucks and if vampires were real they sure as hell would not sparkle."

[ISiddiqui]

Actually, as far as chick flicks go, A Walk to Remember isn't so bad. After all, the ending isn't the super duper happy sort, or legitimizes going after a taken man because "you are meant to be with him anyway".

[Marc Vaughan]

Chick flick movies I don't mind - heck I quite enjoy a lot of them (ie. Sliding Doors) ....

Chick theatre on the other hand, arrrrrgggghhhh .. I endured 'Phantom of the Opera' for my wife, NEVER AGAIN .... that thing went on for hours, possibly days .....

[Julio Riddols]

My misses is into movies like Magnolia, Requiem for a Dream, Horror films, and The Big Lebowski. So we watch a shitload of films together. It's like 50% of what we do in our free time. I'll consider myself lucky.

[JediKooter]

Never saw any of them, but, what about the Sex and the City movies? Something tells me they'd rank up there.

[Lathum]

Dude, spoiler tags!

[Subby]

The thread where everyone is cathartically emoting about modern music feels like a chick flick.

[miked]

Any movie with Matthew Mcconasuck.

[Rizon]

legitimizes going after a taken man because "you are meant to be with him anyway".

Seems to be the theme of every other chick flick now. :banghead:

[Julio Riddols]

Any movie with Matthew Mcconasuck.

A Time To Kill and The Lincoln Lawyer were really good though.

[OldGiants]

so she now goes with our daughter.

Yes, that worked for me for many years. Now, however, my daughter is married and drags her husband to movies he doesn't want to see. I, once again, get dragged to movies I don't want to see.

It's like a cancer that went into remission and not only comes back but spreads to the innocent.

[Izulde]

"You have to promise not to fall in love with me."

Anyway, the movie is what it is, a one-note mediocre adaptation of a very average Nicholas Sparks novel of the same name. It's essentially a vehicle for Mandy Moore to move CDs, with an otherwise forgettable cast, story, and ending.

[RedKingGold]

Ouch.

This line of thinking makes me want to pop a bun in my finacee's oven. Good to know that kids have a purpose.

[Matthean]

My parents and aunt and uncle took me to the movies and somehow I ended up watching Mamma Mia. Let me put it this way. The ending featured a bunch of older men talking off their shirts, dancing, hugging, water coming down, and all the while ABBA music being sung. I'm willing to bet A Walk to Remember was better than that.

Something tells me that if they ever redid A Clockwork Orange, they would use Mamma Mia as part of Alex's therapy.

Dude, I hardly saw a movie for eight years after we had kids. If I did it was always interrupted about seven times, perhaps with something that involved somebody else's bowel movements. Watching chick flicks ain't that big of a problem, trust me.

It was, but only because Mamma Mia was that bad.

[RainMaker]

Watch Maid in Manhattan and then tell you've seen the worst chick flick ever.

I have seen a Walk to Remember many years ago with a girlfriend. I remember it specifically because I made fun of the movie throughout and she got really pissed. I kept telling her that popular, good looking high school kids would only be concerned about getting their dick wet.

Hate to be one of those guys....

You forgot the alternate - guy makes fun of the girl, girl changes, guy gains interest in the girl, guy gets the girl.

My wife doesn't even try to involve me with her movies. Occasionally, one is one and it might catch my attention and I'll watch it, but that is rare.

[CrimsonFox]

Scoobz is hungry. Get him some fooooood.

oh yeah and...Practical Magic. BARF!

To complete the trifecta of hell...girl hates the guy, guy hates the girl, girl likes the guy, guy likes the girl, guy gets the girl.

That's why the wife has sisters. She knows better than to drag me to those.

Guy loves PerfectGirl, FriendGirl loves Guy, FriendGirl helps Guy with PerfectGirl, PerfectGirl accepts Guy, Guy suddenly loves FriendGirl, Guy gets FriendGirl

Wasn't that the plot of Teen Wolf and a bunch of John Hughes films?

[Izulde]

Wasn't that the plot of Teen Wolf and a bunch of John Hughes films?

It's the plot of a TON of chick flicks. Besides those, Get Over It springs to mind. Granted, that was a very loose re-telling of Midsummer's Night Dream, but still.

[Izulde]

I also remember a fantasy series that had that storyline as its main romantic arc.

You probably should revoke my man-card at this point - but I loved Mamma Mia ;)

Guy and girl are going to be friends. Then they start hooking up. And they are going to keep feelings out of the situation......but wait for it, SOMEONE DEVELOPS FEELINGS!

I can't believe they've made 2 movies this year with this inane plot already.

[stevew]

Guy cheats on a girl and doesn't treat her right. Girl eventually develops courage to destroy his belongings and set his car on fire. And gets him fired from his job.

How in the motherfuck is this even an equitable revenge exchange? It's like nuking a country cause they suprise attacked a naval base or something.

You go girl.

This. Movies and TV always portray these super-hot people that can't get dates or have a relationship. Even the "ugly-then-beautiful" girls aren't generally that ugly to begin with. It is right up there to me as the fact that most movies are centered around very wealthy people. "Oh you poor highly successfull beautiful people. Your problems are so relate-able." *rolls eyes*

[Ksyrup]

They lost me when they tried selling that Courtney Thorne Smith was bangin Jim Belushi.

They lost me when they gave Jim Belushi a show - and people watched it.

[CraigSca]

Or the old spinster version:

Guy loves PerfectGirl, FriendGirl loves Guy, FriendGirl helps Guy with PerfectGirl, PerfectGirl accepts Guy, Guy suddenly loves FriendGirl, Guy gets FriendGirl

The only thing you failed to mention in this scenario is that FriendGirl is actually PerfectGirl#2, but she wears glasses.

It's amazing how close she looks to a girl I went to school with. She's also has been divorced twice, working on a new relationship, has five kids, and has HORRIBLE taste in men. She was pretty much swearing off ever dating again during her second divorce. I think within a couple of weeks after her divorce she admitted to being in a relationship. Both of our best friends got married so it's been vastly debated in my head if I missed out. I have yet to convince myself I did. She definitely fits the pattern of picking two from sexy, smart, and sane.

[Raiders Army]

"Is this the one where the guy gets the girl, loses the girl and they manages to get back together in the end?"
Not a chick flick. This is more from the guy's POV.
You forgot the alternate - guy makes fun of the girl, girl changes, guy gains interest in the girl, guy gets the girl.
Not a chick flick. Guy's POV.
To complete the trifecta of hell...girl hates the guy, guy hates the girl, girl likes the guy, guy likes the girl, guy gets the girl.
Change the last sentence to girl gets guy, and it's a chick flick.

[Julio Riddols]

Guy takes or loses a bet between himself and some friends, has to date or take out ugly girl. Ugly girl ends up being pretty and attracting guys attention. Guys friends are douchebags and nearly ruin the budding relationship, Guy makes it up to girl and then guy gets girl.

[Julio Riddols]

Dola: Patrick Swayze is in a movie. Patrick Swayze gets girl.

This is the one that came to mind

[Julio Riddols]

Ghost 2011?

Gerard Butler as Patricks character, Angelina Jolie as the girl, and Tyler Perry as Whoopi Goldberg.

[BishopMVP]

The only thing you failed to mention in this scenario is that FriendGirl is actually PerfectGirl#2, but she wears glasses.Don't forget likes art and doesn't dress sluttily.

[CrimsonFox]

Gerard Butler as Patricks character, Angelina Jolie as the girl, and Tyler Perry as Whoopi Goldberg.

directed by Nora Ephron and Michael "fucking" Bay?

[Julio Riddols]

Bay doing romantic comedy would kick ass.

[stevew]

Somebody fucked Madea once upon a time.
