Love Chick Flicks?

I convinced my hubby to go with me to see 27 Dresses this weekend. I thought it was a sweet film and it left me with that “happy glow,” so I was pleased. (There’s nothing worse to me than a film without a happy ending – I can get that in real life…I want happy!)

If you’re a big fan of chick flicks, I came across a site the other day that just might make your day: La Femme Reel. It’s a site fully devoted to chick flicks!
