Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated (Un)like a Virgin in Books
Sep 6, 2019
I'm not a huge fan of chick-lit at all. I prefer something a little more exciting than just following a woman around in her daily life.
That's not to say I didn't like this, because it was okay.
I have this thing where covers attract me to books and come on! It's a really fun, funky cover. But as I mentioned above chick-lit is not one of my favourite genre's. In fact, this was a DNF after 111 pages out of 400 and odd, though I did skim through the pages and what I thought would happen, didn't.
I still liked Gracie and I'm sure that if I could have brought myself to pick it back up and continue that I may have liked it. But from the 100 or so pages I read it was okay.

GameCritics (290 KP) rated Grand Theft Auto V in Video Games
Sep 21, 2017
Grand Theft Auto V on the Playstation 4 is a no-brainer, just as easy as the decision to get your favorite movie on Blu-ray. With this latest version, Rockstar’s latest game is no longer just a masterpiece. It’s now a state-of-the-art technical marvel.

Katie Guinn (34 KP) rated An Ex to Grind in Books
Dec 7, 2018
I really, really wanted to like this book. Unfortunately, through most of it I found the main character annoying and...well, kind of a bitch. It's possible that's what I was supposed to think, but since it was written in first person, it prevented me from really connecting with her. If you're a big chick lit fan, though, I could see that it might be enjoyable. Alas, it was not for me.

Not as good as hoped but ok
This film was centred mostly around the parents who I think were a very strong cast, I had a few laughs during the film but I did expect there to be more comedy. It did border on a chick flick kind of film, with the parent scenes breaking that up. All in all, it was s good film with a great cast but I was a little disappointed.

So I just watched this film yesterday for the first time, unless I just don't remember watching it before. I love a chick flick but this just wasn't very good. I didn't find either of the characters likeable and he never gave her a properly apology for the night they met, he just shrugged it off, yet when he quotes Shakespeare she's taken by him, it just didn't seem believable to me.

Chick lit
It started with a secret is about how one secret can lead to several issues down the line but also something beautiful.
I love the style of writing, it flows between characters seamlessly and cleverly. The story is very feel good and the characters fit in well.
My only small criticism is around the title, I think the secret is a little underwhelming when it comes out. All issues are resolved fairly quickly.

Hazel (1853 KP) rated Me and Mr. Darcy in Books

I hesitated before rating this book. It was not as bad as two stars but I am not sure it is worthy of three, so let us say it is two and a half. Whilst I liked the Jane Austen/<i>Pride and Prejudice</i> references, I am not really a fan of Chick Lit and at times found it a bit tedious. However there were times when I got into the story line; I did read it in one day after all...

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Cassandra French's Finishing School for Boys in Books
Oct 7, 2020
What if women could find a way to teach men how to behave properly? Well, Eric Garcia (yes, a man) came up with one idea, and he wrote about it long before the #MeToo movement. This novel has been called “Sex and the City meets Misery,” as well as a “brilliantly twisted take on chick lit,” and you can see what I think of it in my review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2013/12/14/teaching-men-manners-is-no-laughing-matter/

Dean (6925 KP) rated She's the Man (2006) in Movies
Jun 30, 2018
I was a little worried this would be quite a lame chick flick that would appeal more to the teenage generation. No doubt that is the target audience, but with a decent cast including a surprise show up of Vinnie Jones (Ex-Pro footballer) and high production backing, this is actually quite funny. Amanda Bynes was great, don't think I've even heard of her before? It might be too cute for some still, but I actually ended up laughing a good few times and enjoyed it. They even had some Chelsea posters in the bedroom!!
