10 chick flicks your man should watch
The Devil Wears Prada
Message to your guy: Shoes are important in life
Next time you buy yet another pair of designer shoes -- or any item of clothing costing upwards of three digits, for that matter -- he'll refrain from giving you that dumbfounded look after watching "The Devil Wears Prada." Fashion is serious stuff!
The Notebook
Message to your guy: You're only human
Noah and Allie's love was just that strong. From building the love of his life a house to growing old together, we cried scene after scene. Get a box of tissues ready -- let's hope your boyfriend has feelings like the leading man in "The Notebook."
P.S. I Love You
Message to your guy: It's okay to cry
Man and woman fall in love. Then, man dies?! (Don't worry, we didn't give anything away here.) It's so sad, right? If your man doesn't tear up, then dump him ASAP -- he's dead inside.
You've Got Mail
Message to your guy: See, it's totally okay that we met online
"You've Got Mail" came out in 1998 and tore down the only-losers-make-friends-on-the-internet stigma. That's why we love it. Add a typewriter-loving Greg Kinnear and that's all we needed to hear.
The Princess Diaries
Message to your guy: Give me my fairytale, please
Like little girls, we realized our princess dreams all over again after witnessing Kate Middleton marry. Us regular gals do have a shot at becoming royalty! It happened to geeky Mia in "The Princess Diaries" too -- and she didn't even have to get hitched to a prince or anything. She did fall for a cute boy in the end, which is fairytale enough for us.
27 Dresses
Message to your guy: Sympathy -- it's not easy being the single one in my posse
"27 Dresses" is the classic tale of always a bridesmaid, never a bride. Maybe he'll get the hint and realize, it's not easy being you. Ring, please!
Bridget Jones's Diary
Message to your guy: See, I'm not a psycho
If you've ever done anything crazy -- say the wrong thing, wear a stupid costume, walk out of your house sans pants -- this movie may redeem you to your significant other. Truth is, you did those things for love (and okay, maybe PMS, too).
Eat, Pray, Love
Message to your guy: Let's go on a trip or eat something really good
So really the hidden agenda here is to inspire him to take you on a unique vacation or at the very least, a nice, authentic Italian restaurant in town. Elizabeth Gilbert (played by Julia Roberts) goes to Italy, India and Indonesia to find herself. Now it's your (and your beau's) turn.
Mean Girls
Message to your guy: This is how girls really are
Let's be honest, ladies, we really do partake in some of the things these rude high-schoolers did in "Mean Girls." We tell fellow femmes we love their accessories when we don't for no reason at all, we are selective about lunch mates, and we try to tear each other down from time to time. Admit it, clue your guy in on it, and move on.
The Sweetest Thing
Message to your guy: We're sexy, silly and sweet
We mean well. We really do. Just take the three femme fatales in "The Sweetest Thing" -- they'll risk embarrassment to win a guy, they don't take themselves too seriously, and they're even comfortable making sex noises in public for the sake of a good laugh. We're all cool like that.
