Chick Flick research - Protagonists

As we have decided to make a chick flick/comedy style movie, i thought it would be good to do some research into other movies that are similar, so we know where we are going with ours, by looking at examples of protagonists from such films:

Cady Heron, Mean Girls

Cady is smart, but is easily influenced and has a desire to be popular. Embarrassing things often happen to her, for example falling into bins and turning up as a zombie bride to a Halloween party.









Bridget Jones, Bridget Jones' Diary

Bridget is an incredibly flawed character, who is overweight, clumsy, and very prone to messing things up. Embarrassing things also happen to her, for example crashing into a pig pen while filming for a news channel.









Olive Penderghast, Easy A

Olive also has a desire to be popular, costing her her reputation and her friends, similar to Mean Girls. Olive is witty and manages to rise above her bad reputation, based on rumors that weren't true anyway.
