No stupid chick flick tops the craptacular Bed of Roses. A man and a woman meet, fall in love, but they can’t be together! The woman just can’t bring herself to be with him even though she’s obviously in love with him! Oh no! Apparently the woman had a sexually abusive guardian when she was young. I have no hard time believing this could make it hard for a women to have a relationship with a man, but it’s it’s just so damned forced. It’s as though for the movie to have somekind of plot, they had to have somekind of problem so they just randomly picked some problem halfway into shooting the movie, and threw it in as though it would make the woman character deeper, or make us feel sorry for her. This movie is a crappy drama, and an even crappier comedy. It’s the kind of movie that advertises that it got three stars from some unknown radio show or newspaper, because that’s all they have to show. Anyone else seen this load? All who contributed to the making of this film, as well as those who enjoyed it, will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.
Am I the only one who read this thread title and immediately thought of "Divine Ya-Yas of the Secret Sisterhood" or whatever that movie was called.
And guys, am I the only one who realizes that the ladies are going to retaliate with a thread of their own!
Secretary.
No, seriously. Like all chick flicks, the characters who will eventually be together are introduced early, then waste the middle hour of the movie not being together for the stupidest of reasons. In this particular case, it was James Spader’s oppressive sense of self-loathing. I just wanted to smack him and tie Maggie Gyllenhaal up, myself.
I have actually liked several chick flicks, including Fried Green Tomatoes, Steel Magnolias, and even the restaurant scene from My Best Friend’s Wedding, but Quilt is one of the handful of movies I actually left the theater to get away from.
bolding mine…
This is a huge pet peeve of mine, and I see it in this forum quite a bit. I can’t understand this line of thinking.
How the hell can you proclaim two of these movies to be the “suckiest of all time” if you’ve never even seen them?
Hold up. Are we hypothesising that chick-flicks are bad, and seeking the most extreme examples thereof, or just the worst films which are chick-flicks?
Anyway, I’m sure there’s worse, but I’ve watched few chick-flicks, and try to make those the good ones I nominate Legally Blond 2, because it made me want to puke - though I’m assured it’s simply an over-effective parody…
::raises hand:: Well, I’m a guy and I thought Joy Luck Club was a great movie. And I can’t stand chick flicks. Here’s my list:
The Wedding Planner. Treacly, stupid, steaming crap from the first scene to the last. The fact that someone who looked like J. Lo couldn’t find a man was the most believable part of the movie.
Love Story. I DARE you to try and sit through this movie. Garbage then, still garbage now.
Sweet November. Supremely talented thespian Keanu Reeves stars as an overworked businessman who is taught to stop being a workaholic and embrace love by spunky super-optimist Charlize Theron. Oh, and she’s about to DIE. If I spoiled that for you, good. Now you don’t have to see it.
SWEET NOVEMBER…really Blows,even my wife couldn’t stand it!
A WALK IN THE CLOUDS…another Keanu Reeves Masterpiece!
MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE…I wish I had a Bottle of something to Drink away the
Pain of this HOGWASH.
I remember a series in the Late 60’s early 70’s called “Love Story”
I remember one episode starry Vic Morrow and Barbara Hersey
The Plot: Vic’s Wife was a Vegetable residing in a Convalescent Home.
Barbara fell in love with Vic as he cared for and doted on his wifes
Special needs.Vic fell in love with the Healthy Barbara,however,
His guilt would not allow him to act on his feelings for Barbara.
I guess his wife succombed and they lived happily ever after.
