This is what ACF really wants to know. And the reviews are mixed, though some are by people that have not seen the movie yet.

I don't know about being a chick flick... but I will say my gf read the books and is looking forward to the movie and openly admits she would have zero interest in it if the main character was male. I think she needs something to relate to in movies while I can enjoy mindless action/adventure.

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness,
starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the streets,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection
to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night.

It's not a chick flick
action, death, destruction, hunting, and survival tactics.

Just read the Wikepedia blurb about it, it screams chick flick.

I would say young adult before chick flick, but that's probably also true.

If you think a strong female lead, that doesn't use her feminine ways to get what she wants = chick flick... then you're right.

I don't know what the actual story is, but the premise the trailer(s) lead me to believe say it's far from a chick flick.
*shrug*
Not a theater watch for me, but I'll bump it to the top of my netflix list when it comes out.

The ending is pure chick flick. I'm not going into it so I don't spoil the movie for the uninitiated.

You mean they didn't end it the same way the book ends? Because the book was about as far from "chick flick" as you can get...
I'll be very disappointed if they changed it to that extent...
