Chick flick is a slang term, sometimes used pejoratively, for the film genre that appeals more to a female audience and deals mainly with love and romance. Although many types of films may be directed towards a female audience, the term “chick flick” is typically used only regarding films that contain personal drama and emotion or themes that are relationship-based (although not necessarily romantic as films may focus on parent-child or friend relationships). Chick flicks often are released en masse around Valentine’s Day. Feminists such as Gloria Steinem have objected to terms such as “chick flick” and the related genre term “chick lit”, and a film critic has called it derogatory.
