We don\u2019t know if it\u2019s just us, be we definitely have a yearning for flicks about ladies finding friendship and taking on the modern world (okay, the modern world of the late 80s and 90s). Here are a few chick flicks about gal pals we just can\u2019t resist (perfect for a sleepover with your <a title=\"bridesmaids\" href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wedding-inspiration\/bridesmaids\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\">bridesmaids<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6273\" title=\"Just Like The Movies: Chick Flicks About Gal Pals\" src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates-wp-uk.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/2013\/12\/5cb211c1a298ab1e655d92304da52436.jpg\" alt=\"Just Like The Movies: Chick Flicks About Gal Pals\" width=\"559\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/qa.weddingdates.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/5cb211c1a298ab1e655d92304da52436.jpg 559w, https:\/\/qa.weddingdates.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/5cb211c1a298ab1e655d92304da52436-300x214.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 559px) 100vw, 559px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Sister Act 2<\/h2>\n<p>We love Sister Act, but for some reason, Sister Act 2 has always been a fond fave of ours. Maybe it\u2019s cos Whoopi Goldberg\u2019s character really hits her stride, it\u2019s got Lauren Hill or because we just love that girl who was also in Hocus Pocus, but this is pure chick flick gold. Doloris (Whoopi) can really rely on her sisters in this movie and they always come through for her in the end (pardon the pun).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6274\" title=\"Just Like The Movies: Chick Flicks About Gal Pals\" src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates-wp-uk.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/2013\/12\/69bce9073490185afdf37ed908908466.jpg\" alt=\"Just Like The Movies: Chick Flicks About Gal Pals\" width=\"736\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/qa.weddingdates.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/69bce9073490185afdf37ed908908466.jpg 736w, https:\/\/qa.weddingdates.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/69bce9073490185afdf37ed908908466-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 736px) 100vw, 736px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>The First Wives Club<\/h2>\n<p>This movie is one of the most hilarious and re-watchable flicks ever! These ladies restore their friendships and learn to take on life on their own terms (you go girl!). A great movie about self-worth and esteem but still manages to be funny. It\u2019s also nice to see a movie about friends where ladies don\u2019t fight over a wedding dress or shoes (again, Anne Hathaway, seriously!). Plus, it\u2019s got our favourite Sex and the City gal Sarah Jessica Parker and the dad from Seventh Heaven.

She gets out of a bad relationship and finds a new man (but doesn\u2019t go after him until she\u2019s achieved her career goal).
