Question of the Week

If there was an Academy Award for the Best Chick Movie of 2001, what movie would you nominate?

Movies?? Academy Awards? What are those? Bottom line: if they aren't shown at ballet lessons, tap lessons, hockey practices, hockey games, Biggs, Krogers, the UDF at Socialville-Fosters and Mason-Montgomery, St. Michaels, SUMC, the back of the oven, the top shelf of the fridge, the inside of a Groovy Girls backpack, or at the bottom of a laundry basket, then I know nothin'.

Hmmm, I just saw a great Chick movie. I just rented it and I'm guessing it had to have come out in 2001. Very catching title: Things You Can Tell Just By Looking at Her. Here's the link to the MGM trailer for it. I love that it says, "A man only sees what a woman wants him to know." It was a very thoughtful and beautifully acted movie. It's five short stories about five compelling women and their relationships. Cameron Diaz, Glen Close, Holly Hunter, Calista Flockhart and Kathy Baker were all fabulous. I can't think of one that outshines the other, each brought so much to her character. A great Chick Flick.

My runners up for a great love story are: Sweet November, For the Love of the Game and Woman on Top. Chick Jana

I Am Sam. Sean Penn stars as the father. While the opening is someone sketchy, you are led to believe that he fathers a child with a homeless woman who wants no part of parenting. Penn (Sam) has the mental capacity of a seven year old and when his daughter begins to outgrow his intellectual capacity, the social workers and family court determine that she is better placed in foster care. Sam hires an attorney and begins to fight for his right to parent Lucy, his daughter. Chick Susie

For the Best Chick Movie of 2001, my Academy Award would have to go to I Am Sam. Only a Chick movie because I think few men are able to handle the kind of emotion it stirs within. I loved this movie and cried from beginning to end. Yes, it was poignant and sad at times, but most of all it made me cry tears of joy celebrating life's simplest and most exquisite moments. The acting was superb! Chick Cheryl

Moulin Rouge, only by default. It was the only movie I saw in 2001. Oh wait, I saw Harry Potter. I'll stick with my first answer... Moulin Rouge. Chick Karin

It would have to be Bridget Jones Diary. Betty

Hands down, the best chick flick ever made is Shag! Kathleen
