Only if beer were served.

Blech, I'm a girl and even I'll pass on that. Now mention watching something like Django Unchained and then we'll talk.

I saw "Titanic" for the first time within the last few years. I did so because I was interested in seeing how they replicated the ship and how they handled the sinking, to see if it was credible. It was credible.

I'd much rather see a comedy of the variety no longer made (i.e. Eddie Murphy), a drama ("American Beauty"), or a thriller ("Man on a Ledge"), those kinds of movies, but guys have too many hangups about being "caught dead" at a chick flick.
Who would want to be caught dead at this movie? What of the shame you would bring to your family and fellow man?

Sure, I'd give it a try. But so far I've never seen a musical I didn't despise, so the odds of me liking it are slim. The sad thing is, I probably wouldn't like it any less than any other movie out right now.

Yes I actually like so-called "chick flicks" and similar fare, lol...

If a date I recently met, asked me to see that musical and expect me to pay for either my ticket or both. Then I would probably back off if she didn't have other extraordinary qualities.

If it is my girlfriend then I would recommend her to see it with her friends who have the same interests. If she really wanted me to see it with her, then I would go.

I saw "Rent" with a girl. Not too bad actually. That movie looks like crap though.

It is a legal drama. I then told a coworker that this was among other things I had done that weekend. He said "Oh, that's a chick flick." He was a goofy and toothy eastern Washington "perennial kid," so I ignored the ignorance of that observation.
Two women running from the law, convertable, top down? Who dominated the screen time in the movie? Not Tommy Lee Jones that for sure. Maybe not a total a chick flick along the lines of Remains of the Day or Howards End because there was some action and violence. Still, I view Thelma Louise as a power "chick" flick. It was definitely inspirational to the women I've talked to who've seen it.
