Wendy and Lucy

Wendy and Lucy is about two women that don't discuss men in their spare time, don't go nameless, and don't worry about how they look to attract a man. Lucy is a dog and Wendy is her friend. Already, this film is a good fix to the overly done chick flick, where all the girls care about is finding a man. Wendy spends a good chunk of the film looking for Lucy. It shows the true bond between an animal and her owner.

Chick flicks these days center around a Disney Princess-like complex, where the women have to be attractive and spend all their time waiting to be rescued by their one true love and happily ever after. This film doesn't have anything to do with those ideas. All the girl wants to do is find her dog and continue on her trip to Alaska. It was a nice change from the idea that all you need to do is find true love. Wendy and Lucy shows that women can do other things than sit around waiting for a man. You can travel and have an adventure! There is no reason that you should sit around and wait for your life to get started.
