Today is officially 1 year since the launch of ChickFlickReviews.net! We’ve come along way in a year, and it’s all thanks to you, our readers! Without our readers we’d be just writing for ourselves, but knowing that there are so many of you out there that enjoy our content is what keeps us going.
So in year two we hope to have an even better site, more traffic, more contests, more reviews, and more comments! (We know you’re reading, so start commenting!)
From everyone here on the CFR staff, thanks for making our first year great!
In what has been elegantly labeled an “erotic thriller” Amanda Seyfried leaps out of her typecast roles to star as Chloe, a sexy escort hired by Catherine (Julianne Moore) to tempt her supposedly cheating husband David (Liam Neeson), hoping to catch him in the act. Catherine soon learns that Chloe forced herself upon her husband at their first meeting and becomes angry with the escort’s actions, claiming that this behavior was not part of the plan. However, she pushes Chloe to meet with her husband again, and each time Catherine speaks with Chloe, the seductress tells of her progressively racier afternoons with David.
A unique attraction forms between the two women and the film shifts gears, focusing more on Chloe and Catherine’s relationship than David’s seemingly obvious adultery.

If you loved Love Actually and She’s Just Not That Into You, then you will fall in love with Valentine’s Day!
Valentine’s Day is based on all different types of love and heartbreak that occur on the most romantic day of the year. The film opens up with a proposal, then goes into other couples giving cute little gifts. Everyone in the film is connected to someone by family, friend or acquaintance. There is a grade school boy in love with his teacher, a sex hotline operator who is starting a new relationship, a cute high school couple wanting to go all the way and much much more. This film stars many of our favorite actors including, Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Alba, Jennifer Garner, Patrick Dempsey, Julia Roberts, Bradley Cooper, Anne Hathaway, and the two most popular Taylors, Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift.
I give this film 4.5 stars! I thought it was such a cute movie with most of my favorite actors. I like these movies where the plot is pretty much the same for each couple, and somehow everyone knows each other. I think these films are fun, and there were two surprises at the end that I did not expect at all. Of course it is the typical romantic comedy, but I thought it was great. I watched it with my husband, and he said that he also enjoyed it, and he did not even fall asleep! (which he does in almost every movie we watch!) He said that even though it was a chick flick, there were so many stars that it kept his interest. I think this film would be great to watch with your significant other or your best friends on a girls night! I would definitely buy this movie and watch it again and again!
Cobb’s (Leonardo DiCaprio) specialty is a new form of corporate espionage termed “extraction.” It involves stealing people’s secrets from deep within their subconscious while they dream. Cobb’s expertise has made him a fugitive and unable to return home to his children. That is until he is offered a job by Saito (Ken Watanabe), a powerful businessman with the money and authority to clear Cobb’s name. The only thing is that Saito doesn’t want a routine extraction, instead he is asking for quite the opposite. He wants Cobb to plant an idea in someone’s head (an “inception”). Saito would like for Robert Fisher, Jr. (Cillian Murphy), the heir of a multibillion dollar oil company, to decide to dismantle his father’s empire. Read More

Little do we know, that they are going to start falling for each other. One of the reasons they do, is due to Tommy not being around and spending less time with Beth.

I had asked my son what his thoughts were about this film, and he just had two words for me….”Good and Funny!” And, I totally agree with him.
This movie is about two supervillains who are in competition on who can steal the next biggest thing. Gru (Steve Carrell) feels threatened when he learns that there is another supervillain amidst him who has stolen the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. After Gru meets the supervillan,Vector (Jason Segel) coincidentally, he comes up with a plan using three orphan girls, cookie robots, and minions to steal the moon….yes, the moon. I thought that this was totally impossible, but apparently NOT if you have a “Shrink Ray.”

I am actually proud of myself for reviewing this lost but not forgotten film from the 90′s! I would consider this movie a “chick flick” and I actually love this movie! For those of you who know me, I really don’t enjoy this genre of movie, however, Brokedown Palace has chick power all wrapped into one great drama of a movie.
