Customer Reviews

Thorough analysis--awesome read

I have read many books on this topic, and this is the most thorough (BY FAR!!) and definitely the most interesting. It tackles the subject from a million different angles, and I couldn't breeze through it in an evening (like I can with most books). Five stars!

Love Chick Flicks!!

I thought this book was so much fun and quite handy! I especially thought the pop quiz section was a lot of fun. I've already played with my girlfriends. And I love the "chick flick" recommendations...I would have thought I had seen all "chick flick" films, but boy was I wrong! I better get my butt to Blockbuster....Happy renting Gals!

This Book Is Sweet

i think the best part about this book is that it has movies for everyone cuz usually it's just like for people who are older and stuff. why don't more books have stuff for people who aren't like a million years old and things that's why this book is cool because it has movies for people who like weren't born in the 70's. what's up? this book rocks.

Kim Adelman Does It Again

Word on the street is that "The Ultimate Guide to Chick Flicks" is a worthy companion to Ms. Adelman's other critically acclaimed books. I was very pleased to have this exhaustively rearched book handy when looking for movies to add to Netflix. I will not have to suffer through another bad Ashley Judd film...thank you Kim!

The Quintessential Guide to Chick Flicks!

What is not to LOVE about this book? It's fun, totally handy, and it makes the perfect gift! I already bought a copy for my little sister. All of my favorite movies (and tons I never knew about) are listed, deconstructed, and discussed in this super-fun book. The calendar section which lists a chick flick-a-day is my favorite bit! I'm totally taking this book with me to Blockbuster.
