Well, I'm pretty much using the saem definition if that helps.
Just as most guys seem to have a remarkable ability to accept the most brain-dead action ever girls seem to swallow the most over-sentimental feeling-crap ever. Both genres are equally shallow, we just seem to accept different trash when we want to turn our brains off. Interestingly, we find the same pattern when it comes to both comics and regular literature (see guys reading action-books and the majority of books published in the fantasy-genre and girls reading 'horrible shallow books')
I thus classify a chick-flick as something close to "an emotional film, so shallow you have to actively turn your brain off in order to not scream at it".
