Every now and then, all we girls want to do is munch on some good food and watch cute sappy films nonstop.

Better yet, why not call up your girlfriends’ and make it extra fun. After all, we all can relate to a character in a chick flick.

To understand better, a chick flick is usually a movie that has a female protagonist. These movies can range from focusing on friendships and relationships to loss and heart break, not forgetting girl power.  

1. Mean Girls (2004)

Only to unintentionally become one of them. The movie focuses on friendship, loyalty and teenage girl drama that we’ve all experienced at some point of our lives.

2. Clueless (1995)

5. Beauty and the Briefcase (2010)

6. The Duff (2015)

8. Bride Wars (2009)
