Ottakee Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 A group of us are getting together next Friday for a movie and girls night. What movie would you suggest that is a good lighthearted or chick flick movie that is as clean as they can be? One lady, a single in her 30s, lost her job this week after 11 years. Another lady resigned her position last week. The third had her daughter get injuried at basketball practice and need reconstructive surgery on her face (surgery is Wed.) and the 4th has had other major things going on. We need something light and funny but as we are conservative we want to keep it clean as well. Any ideas for us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 mama mia, steel magnolias, lake house, fireproof come to mind for a chick flick bucket list is a good movie not so much a chick flick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIN Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Have you seen Bring Up Baby? Not a traditional chick flick, but oh my, we are watching it now and rolling on the floor! It is so funny, wholesome and yet about love. :) It's great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vida Winter Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I'm stuck in the past, but Hitchcock's Rear Window was a favorite at our house last night, and my girls gasped at Grace Kelley's beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am instituting "old movie night" on Friday nights and my girls and I are getting a BIG kick out of the oldies. Bringing up Baby was a stretch because it was in black & white (gasp). But they still liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Kate and Leopold. It's wonderful. Meg Ryan and Hugh Jackman. Absolutely clean. I was very surprised by Enchanted. A kid movie, true, but made me LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Two of my favorites are quirky fun... Lars and The Real Girl ~ sweet and laugh out loud funny in places. Don't let the blurb about the movie dissuade you. You'll be glad you watched this one. Reaffirms how we need to treat each other. I showed this at a girl's night out at church last summer to rave reviews. Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day ~ Charming. A bit of (male) skin at the beginning. Set during the hard times just prior to WWII in England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 The Wedding Planner (Jennifer Lopez), Miss Congeniality, About a Boy (some language, but I didn't find it offensive...maybe because of the English accents, lol), Overboard, A Knight's Tale (some "backal" nudity), Baby Boom.

KIN Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Bringing up Baby was a stretch because it was in black & white (gasp). But they still liked it. I was very surprised, but my boys didn't make one comment about it being in black and white. They were too busy trying to keep up with everything that was happening. :) How old do you think kids should be before watching Alfred Hitchcock? I have never seen any, so I don't want to get it for family movie night until I'm sure it's appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I saw the birds at about age ten. Awesome movie. Fascinated me and scared the beejeebbers out of me. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendi Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 "Emma" with Gwyneth Paltrow, or "Sense and Sensibility" with Emma Thompson - those are two of my favorites. Or how about "Roman Holiday"? Lots of fun! Have you seen it? Wendi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garga Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Pride and Prejudice--the 2 hour version with Kierra Knightly. Not the 300 hour PBS version. I've shown Pride and Prej to a few groups of ladies on various Movie Nights and they all loooooved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Ever After (PG) (Drew Barrymore plays Danielle, the kind-hearted tomboy who maintains a generally sweet spirit despite the oppressiveness of her stepmother and two stepsisters.) Secondhand Lions (PG) (In this humorous, warm-hearted drama, two eccentric old brothers in rural, 1950s Texas keep sacks of money hidden in their ramshackle barn ...)
