Chick Flick and Feel Good Movie Recommendations

KT416KT416 member
in Trouble TTC

So I've already decided after my ER, I'm doing absolutely nothing but be a blub on the couch without an ounce of guilt.

So, anyone have any good chick flick and feel good movies to recommend? I want upbeat, cute, and funny chick flicks and feel good movies without  anything that will make me an emotional wreck (like no Nicholas Spark type movies with a depressing ending or breakup movies like the Break Up or 500 days of summer, or a movie like The Switch).

It can be a little young and corny like an ABC Family, Disney Channel or Lifetime movie that is upbeat and cute. I'm a While You Were Sleeping, Footloose, 27 Dresses, What's Your Number, When In Rome, Leap Year, type of chick flick loving girl. I haven't gone to the movies in awhile so I may have missed a few good ones lately.

Major plus if it's a free movie (or tv series) on Netflix, Hoopla (the free streaming site from the library), Amazon Prime or even YouTube or another free streaming spot. Also, not opposed to a good tv series to get into on Netflix, but would have to be a comedy upbeat type show.

Any suggestions for me? And what's your favorite chick flick/feel good movie?

Me: 29, DH: 30

Married: April, 2011; TTC: July, 2012

Dx: MFI; June '14 IVF w/ ICSI: 11R, 8M, 5F... 1 5dt, beta #1: 213, beta #2: 621, beta #3: 8545!

    Have you seen This Means War? It's funny, cute, and has two very good looking men in it! I like Pitch Perfect as well. It will make you laugh. One for the Money is good, I think it's on Netflix and it's based on a book series.

    I'm not big into chick flicks. 

    Did we mention Notting Hill, 50 first Dates, Ever After, Meet the Parents, 27 Dresses, or Princess Bride?

    Not a Chick Flick and I'm not sure if HULU, Netflix, Amazon has it but Warm Bodies. Great Zom Rom Com.

    "Ever After" is one of my favorites! DH and I used some of the music from that movie in our wedding ceremony.

    Ok so guilty pleasures on Netflix include: brothers and sisters, parenthood, and pretty little liars. PLL is for teens but so addicting

    Does Mean Girls count as a chick flick? Because I just always laugh at it.. It always makes me feel happier! I also second bridesmaids! 

    Not what you requested, but if you're into sci-fi thrillers.. I just finished Orphan Black and got caught up with the current season (just ended). It's about clones who don't know they are sister-clones. They all find each other and figure out kind of corrupt things behind their creation/lives! t's really good! It's on Amazon Prime TV for free!

    I second Mean Girls!  Also, I loved both of the Sex and the City movies ....neither were really good, plotwise but great escape to watch!
    **Formerly EastBayBride508**

    Me 34   Him 33

    Me - Left salpingo-oophorectomy at 19 due to large cyst/torsion  and 2 large uterine fibroids found at age 30
    Him - Borderline low sperm count (correcting through Fertility Blend supplement)

    Married 8/20/2011
    TTC #1 since Jan 2013
    First appointment with RE 10/2013.  
    April 2014 - Clomid 100mg CD3-7.  HCG shot CD10 IUI #1 done on 4/12/14 (CD12) ....BFN
    May 2014 - Break cycle to repeat saline sonogram and re-group.  Travel to Kauai 5/7-5/12 (Yay!!)
    June 2014 - Clomid 150mg CD4-8.  HCG shot CD14.  IUI#2 done on 6/9 and 6/10 (CD15-16) w/ Prometrium suppositories during TWW .... BFN

    August 2014 - MRI done which revealed 2 fibroids: a 13x15cm fibroid as well as an 8x7cm one.  Super freak out mode over surgery plan.  OB-GYN/surgeon said surgery would most likely have to be a laparotomy (open abdominal surgery)
    August 2014 - After a 2nd opinion, plan to take Lupron x 2 months to shrink fibroids then laparoscopic/robotic myomectomy.  Surgery date is set for Nov 21st!

    Ever After, Pride and Prejudice, Garden State (though a little sad), and Frozen since I just watched it yesterday. For tv shows, I can watch Big Bang Theory reruns over and over.
    I seriously feel like I'm missing out on some sort of phenomenon the way that people reference that movie...

    I felt the same way. Then we watched it on our flight to Seattle. It was good. I liked it. All those imgur posts now make sense. But I still don't get the hype.

    Although I think Frozen is The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin of this generation.
