‘Divergent’ Chick Flicks Are Changing

Divergent, which opened today in theaters across the country, has been called a “chick flick” and if that is how the film has been classified, the times they are a changin’. This dystopian young-adult film has more than its fair share of romance and in terms of appealing to “tweens,” it has a lot more going for it than a certain film with glittering vampires. At least the heroine in this film can kick butt along with the guys and does not need a man to make her complete or to help her to make up her mind.
