Directors of Chick Flicks

As more research, I looked into the directors of my two favourite chick flicks; Wild Child and Mean Girls. Both films fit the definition of a chick flick:

"Chick-flick is a slang term for a film genre mainly dealing with love and romance and designed to appeal to a largely female target audience. Although many types of films may be directed toward the female gender, "chick-flick" is typically used only in reference to films that are heavy with emotion or contain themes that are relationship-based."

Nick Moore
Nick Moore is both an editor and director. He has directed three relatively popular films, one of which is 'Wild Child'. This is about a girl who lives in Malibu and is very spoiled, she then gets sent to boarding school in England by her strict father. This film includes romance, teenage girls and mainly the colour pink. This is definitely aimed towards a teenage female audience.

This is the Wild Child film trailer. The trailer shows how much a princess Poppy Moore really is. The trailer begins with her walking through a particularly girly bedroom, which has a common theme of the colour pink. It then shows how she, both, gets treated by the girls at her new school and how she treats them. And of course, a chick flick wouldn't be a chick flick if it didn't have a bit of romance involved. 




Mark Waters
Mark Waters has directed many films including chick flicks. As well as 'Mean Girls', Waters directed 'Freaky Friday' and 'Just like Heaven'. Mean Girls is set in a stereotypical American high school and portrays the idea of the typical 'cliques' at high school. Cady has just moved from Africa to America and is hit with the 'plastics', the most popular group at the school. Cady makes the mistake of falling head over heels in love with the most popular girl at school's ex boyfriend.

This trailer shows a scene in the 'cafeteria' where Cady's new friends tell her about all the different 'cliques'. You get introduced to the 'plastics' and find out who they are and what they are like. They're the girls that strut around school and everyone wants to be like them. We then see who Cady's crush is and realise it's Regina George's ex, and apparently ex's are out of bound.
