What points as the author overlooked or omitted?
I believe that the author overlooked the simplicity of the Chick Flick movie genre. The movies main point arent to affend people, they are to entertain. These movies are supposed to be lighthearted and make you feel good. They are just another type of movie, that will not specifically portray the lives of real women perfectly.
Where do I agree with the author?
I do think that many of the chick flick movies have a Cinderella like plot to them. I believe this is becasue that is what a lot of women like to see. It's nice to watch a movie occasionally that doesn't have gruesome and grotesque scenes every other minute. When you see a movie feel-good it puts you in a good mood and can even take stress out of your daily life.
Who is the intended audience, what is the writers purpose, how well does the text suit its particular audience and purpose?
The intended audience would most likely be women ranging from about 15 years old to late twenties. The writers puropose is propose the point that chick flicks are underming and extremely stereotypical of women. She states that these movies trying to "lump together an entire genders interest into one genre."She wants to get across the point that we should take offense to this. These types of movies apparently never give anyone the perspective of any realistic life situations or problems. I do not think the text really affects the particular audience. Most young women don't seem to have the feminist approach to most things. I think the audience would look at her text with a closed mind because they know they already like chick flicks.
