Chick flicks are normally upbeat and perky and includes lots of romance and comedy elements.
There is never much violence in chick flicks because the target audience are normally young girls or young women.
The main character must be female and must be considered "strong" and "independent" when it comes to facing adversity and overcoming obstacles in the film.
The "problems" in chick flicks are normally bad parents; bullies; ex-boyfriends; crush; best-friends and more....besides, there must be a love interest in a chick flick.
Chick flicks must have certain moments where the main female character is really emotional due to them being upset by their problems.
Most chick flicks are based in a high school (e.g. Mean Girls, Wild Child).
The plot is mostly based common interest/issues of teenagers (parties, crushes, popularity, friendship, high school, first love, rebellion, cyber bulling....).
The story line is always as simple as 'boy meets girls, boy are girl fall in love, boy finds her again just in time for the credit to role.'. (http://www.examiner.com/article/history-of-chick-flicks)
A typical example is Wild Child, where Poppy Moore has to move to a English School due to her parent then got into trouble with her friends and boy-friend.
