Are chick flicks good movies?

Rating: 8/10 (25 September 2014)

First of all, I know Kristen Wiig was in her late 30's in this one. But she was absolutely adorable. Her age and attraction actually fit the story really well. Everyone around her getting married - she being left behind. Losing an already low-paying job. Only has a guy who likes her for sex. Any girl would be depressed in her situation especially at her age.
I may be stretching this movie and giving it much more credit than it deserves, but this movie relates to how people grow up with such lofty expectations and ambitions, only to slapped in the face by life. Kristen Wiig's character - Annie - is beautiful, bubbly, spectacular at baking, etc. She probably had a life goal of becoming a world-famous baker and finding a beautiful and rich husband. But she ends up losing her business and having no one besides a rich playboy.
Even when she does end up with the Scottish (or Irish, I can't tell the difference), does anyone in the audience sincerely believe that he deserves to end up with him? He's clumsy and slightly a fool at times. He easily falls in love, because he probably does not get any action either. And he does not even eat the carrot cake when she bakes for him! Eat the cake, policeman! I know it's not donuts, but it looks so, so good!
Anyway, the gist of the story is a story of two girls who have a mutual best friend. One is rich, beautiful, and seems to have her life together. The other is poor, is nowhere close to the husband, and will probably break up with her new policeman boyfriend soon. They become jealous of each other, both trying to one-up each other. They both want to be the singular best friend of the bride, and it's actually quite pathetic to see this social battle take course.
But, it is a decently enjoyable film. Society will probably force you to watch this one day. There are funny moments for sure. But sometimes, you just look at the screen and ask yourself, 'What the f am I watching?' In any case, watch it, try ignoring the absolute ludicrous nature of the events, and just come with zero expectations.
After all. It's only a chick flick.
