Will this movie challenge Moulin Rouge as the musical chickflick my friends and I watch while eating chocolate and *****ing about men? I must find out. To the Blockbuster!

Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

neither chicago, nor moulin rouge, should be called "chickflick"-connorkimbro

Just deal with the fact you like chickflicks. Music, dancing, love and comedy? What, did I like miss the Rambo moment in Moulin Rouge where he uses big guns and big muscles to kill Evil Commie Scum and thus save Satine from Evil Communist TB? pu-lease.

just because a movie doesn't have blood and guts and gore doesn't mean it's a chickflick.
hey, i DO admit, i do like some chickflicks. some are just nausiatingly sappy and WAY too predictable, but there are some good ones out there. (a good example of a decent chickflick would be "you've got mail")
however, chicago and moulin rouge are definately not-connorkimbro

Yes.
Some of the best movies in recent years have been musicals.... 'Chicago', 'South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut'

Music, dancing, love and comedy?
Love? If you meant love of money, then you'd have 'Chicago'. It is definetly NOT a chickflick (not that there is anything wrong with some chickflicks), because there is no romantic angle at all.

Down with musicals!
Burn them all! Nothing worse than a stupid movie where people break out singing and dancing.
