I am like the biggest Sex and the City fan in the world. That being said, the movie Sex and the City 2 was awful. It was so bad it was laughable

It didn't ruin me on the franchise. If there ever is a 3rd movie, I will be there on opening night.
I don't know if it is a "chick flick" by definition, I would say Burlesque. It might be considered a musical instead though. Most of my "go to/comfort" movies are musicals.
