A young woman is assaulted by a group of men. She gets together with her support group of girlfriends, who, with the aid of the one upstanding man she knows (possibly played by Lorenzo Lamas), hack the bank accounts of the men and use the money to build a women's center. This is a chick flick.
A young woman is assaulted by a group of men. She trains with a group of female commandos (led by a man wearing an eye patch, possibly played by Lorenzo Lamas); and, with the help of the commandos, kicks the living cr@p out of the men, blowing up their houses and hacking their bank accounts to retire to Tahiti, lounging in bikinis and drinking margaritas. This is a guy movie.

Sasquatch is slouched at the bar, nursing a gin and tonic, when in walks a horse. The horse saunters up to a bar stool and says, "I'll have a beer."----------
Sally Field, Dolly Parton, Julia Roberts, Shirley MacLaine, Daryl Hannah, and Olympia Dukakis talk things over. Chick flick.

There is a redeeeming scene. Tom Skerrit decides he's going to get rid of the birds in the tree by throwing up a string of firecrackers. The problem is, the fuses lasted longer than he planned and the firecrackers fal down and boew up around his head. The character goes temporarily deaf. Embarrassed, he pretends nothing is wrong.

George I think they did the first one already....it was called "The First Wives Club"
I can't remember the title but you'll probably remember what I'm talking about. It's a WWII movie about an American sub commandeering a German U-Boat. I think it was U-571, or something like that. It's the only movie I've seen where it just goes from one scene of shooting and blowing things up to the next and the plot is totally incidental. It's great! I mean you can just bask in two hours of "Ka-Boom", "Oh no! German fighters...ahh!" KA-BOOM! Who the Hell cares what they were actually trying to do? And of course, the Americans win against all odds, like they always do.
It's like the writer scripted this series of special effects and then thought, "Hmmm, guess we oughta have a plot in here somewhere".

I would soooooooooo rather watch the guy film.
The only "chick-flicks" I like are Jane Austen films.

Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwartzenegger, Jet Li, Eric Roberts, Mickey Roarke, Dolph Lundgren, and Bruce Willis blow things up. Guy movie.

This is one of the reasons I like Westerns so much. They aren't really classified as one or the other.
