Summer Chick Flicks

Who says summer movies are all about explosions and fistfights? Whether you're a sucker for romantic comedies or simply need a break from the superhero machismo at the rest of the multiplex, there's lots to look forward to this year. We count at least four and a half weddings, one pair of magic jeans, one New Year's Eve and 1,852 romantic misunderstandings in this summer's biggest chick flicks.
