Chick Fight

If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, Chick Fight is available in the US on Amazon Prime Video and Kanopy right now. The runtime earns every minute, with nothing here that feels like padding. Its 6/10 TMDB score, built from 236 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Malin Åkerman is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Amazon Prime Video.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Chick Fight earns its spot. Chick Fight gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. When Anna Wyncomb is introduced to an underground, all-female fight club in order to turn the mess of her life around, she discovers she is much more personally connected to the history of the club than she could ever imagine. Malin Åkerman and Bella Thorne lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2020. Chick Fight earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Chick Fight is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Malin Åkerman is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
