...for both sexes and carries more weight than most.

"Atonement" explores how the abuse of trust wills to spite, how love's eternal power sustains, and a bunch more elegantly woven analogous symbolism.

Great foreplay for some, but not quite "Harry met Sally" -- oysters vs onion rings?
And what's wrong with a "chick" flick pray tell? - Harmonia 12:56:55 12/30/07 (1)
No, in fact the romance is a very small part of Atonement. It's actually about much deeper things the marketers are obviously trying to appeal to fans of Wright's previous effort Pride & Prejudice - which was an excellent adaptation for chicks or gents.

I don't think movies concerned with matters of love and society are strictly for chicks BTW.

Movies for dummies are fluff whether they're idiotic rom-coms or empty headed action flicks.
- The use of "chick flick" as a descriptor... - EBerlin 14:23:01 12/31/07 (0)
  ...has always struck me as pretty juvenile. A film can be good or bad whether or not it takes a more masculine or feminine point of view. I prefer to try being well-rounded so I like to watch "both" kinds of films (as if there's even a hard and fast distinction between them).
  
  Oh, look. Now I've gone all "sensitive" on you. I guess I'm really just a woman in wolf's clothing.
