What Your Favorite Chick Flick Says About You

What is your movie of choice on a night in? Choose wisely because it may determine more than you think. Here’s a list of all of our favorite chick flicks and what they say about you!

John Tucker Must Die: You demand respect

If you could get through that whole movie without feeling terrible for John, I salute you. You’re not afraid to demand to be treated the way you deserve. And if someone crosses you, there’s going to be hell to pay.

Mean Girls: You peaked in middle school

I think I speak for everyone when I say that Mean Girls will always hold a special place in our hearts. It brings back memories of fighting with our friends over who had the honor of being the Regina of your clique, and visions of your future crazy high school parties. And although this is on all of our top 10 lists, if this is still your #1 it’s probably time to broaden your horizons a bit.

The Devil Wears Prada: You’re not bossy… you’re the boss

Your first time watching The Devil Wears Prada was the first step you took towards being the bad b*tch you are today. Miranda Priestley is your obvious spirit animal. That’s all.

The Notebook: You’re brave

If you enjoy sitting down for two hours and having your heart ripped out of your chest every so often, then The Notebook is the chick flick for you! We have all seen this at least once and most of us aren’t brave enough to even go near it on our on demand screen.

Dirty Dancing: You would never put baby in a corner

Patrick Swayze triggered your sexual awakening way back when. You still dream of the day your family will go to Kellerman’s and you’ll get the chance to pay for a dancer’s botched abortion and meet the love of your life.

27 Dresses: You’re a romantic

This movie is the flagship of rom-coms. You’re that girl who has several fully loaded Pinterest boards planning out her wedding. You have it planned down to the guest list. The only thing left: a groom.

Because I Said So: Your mom is your best friend


She’s the first one you call when literally anything happens. You may not like what she has to say, but you know it’s what you have to hear. Try not to roll your eyes and hang up the phone, because she’s only trying to help.

Legally Blonde: You’re classic

You go through life channeling your inner Elle Woods. You’re perfectly happy with being both a Marilyn and a Jackie. And you know to always avoid the Warners and go for the Emmets.

Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants: You’re an amazing friend

You’re always looking out for your friends and are willing to do anything for them, including traveling to Greece to find a lost pair of jeans.

Bachelorette: You’re a terrible friend

You’re an enabler. You allow—maybe even encourage yourself and your friends to make poor decisions for the sake of a good time. You may have some bad nights and some crazy stories, but you know you’ll all be there the next morning to nurse the hangover together and exchange pictures.

Mamma Mia: You can’t sing (but you think you can)

You find it almost impossible to sit through a movie that doesn’t break out into song every five minutes. You know every word to every song in this wonderful movie, and everybody knows it even if they would rather not.

Friends With Benefits: Your heart just gets in the way

You watch this movie as more of a lesson than a form of entertainment. You wish you could be as chill and laid back as Mila Kunis in the beginning of the movie, but you end up being as emotionally attached as end of the movie Mila.

Bridesmaids: You’re dysfunctional

You’re just an Annie who hates Helens. Your life is probably a mess, but no need to worry: there’s way more wine where that came from.

Grease: You were born in the wrong time period

You want to attend bonfire-lit pep rallies, spend date night at the drive in, and go to Thunder Road when you get bored on the weekends. From poodle skirts and pink ladies jackets, you want it all. Oh, and you also wouldn’t mind a Thunderbird or two.

She’s The Man: You miss Amanda

We here at Her Campus feel your pain. Until she finds her way back to us, watch reruns of The Amanda Show and keep your fingers crossed. We’ll be right there with you.
