The Chick Flick Guy

Chick Flick Guy says no thanks to Shoot, Crash and Explode Cinema. (Except "Speed.") He's the man sitting alone in theaters where the audience is mostly couples and Girls Night Out groups. This website is where you can find categorized lists of favorite romantic comedies and the occasional weeper, brief reviews and polls asking you what you think about films and stars, popular and indie.

About the guy

Carlos Alcalá is a middle-aged man with the movie tastes of a
13-year-old girl. Fortunately, he is also a writer with strong analytical skills and decades of experience. He is married to a woman who has far better taste in cinema and he has three children, including a daughter who finds her father's love of chick flicks embarrassing.
