“Itu0026#39;s surprising they managed to make a movie out of The Joy Luck Club, which was, after all, a series of anecdotes by 8 different people. But somehow they did it, seamless weaving in and out of the charactersu0026#39; reminiscences. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enJoy Luck Club could reasonably be described as a chick flick – it is, after all, a film about a bunch of women and their feelings – but that would be a disservice. u0026quot;Chick flicku0026quot; has become a somewhat derogatory term, partially because it was a term created by guys who find women and their feelings annoying, but to a great extent because most movies in this class are shoddy pieces of tripe like u0026quot;Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.u0026quot; If movies of women and their feelings were all this intelligent, insightful and affecting I doubt anyone would have even coined the term u0026quot;chick flick.u0026quot; This is a movie of honest emotion that leaves you with a sense of fulfillment, a rebuke to all those manufactured, syrupy womenu0026#39;s movies that Hollywood churns out. Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommended.”
