Sex and the City - The Movie (Full Screen Edition)
There is nothing oh so deep in Sex and the City movie. The fashion was fun, as usual. (And I'm someone who left my knowledge of fashion trends and designers in my senior year college dorm- the day I graduated!)Carrie is still Carrie, selfish and immature as ever. She can't seem to "hear" Mr. Big (John) over her own ego. She wants a big wedding, he wants something small and plain. Of course, they clash, argue, and then make-up. A happy ending for them.
Miranda is still cynical. She is feeling the pressure of her full-time job and motherhood. She lost her desire for Steve. Steve has a one-night stand. Now what? Will they be "happily ever after"? Will Miranda learn to work on herself? She doesn't have her shrink like she did in the TV show. What will she do?
Charlotte is living the most normal life of the 4. She is raising her adopted daughter. She gets pregnant. Yay! The only bad thing that happens to her is a case of Montezuma's Revenge. Even then, she recooperates quickly.
Samantha, now living in LA, has also changed. She is a stay-at-home live-in girlfriend to Smith. They are still together after four years. Samantha has enough free time to visit her friends in NYC. But how does she really feel about her new role? We finally see how miserable she really is when she makes a surprise visit to Charlotte's baby shower. Her character's closure is the saddest. But at least we now know that Smanatha is working on her issues, instead of covering them up with lots of sex.
Of course, the movie is all about product placement. There is mention of Manolos, Vogue magazine, etc. The four women are still going out on the town, decked to the 9s. There is the fashion show. that stuff doesn't really interest me anymore. Minus 1 star.
Also, there is too much "soft-core" sex in this movie. Samantha's well-libido-ed neighbor gives more of a show than I wanted. (Wouldn't some sexy sounds convey the same message as a soft-core sex scene???) The make-up sex between one of the 4 main characters and her guy is also way too much for me to see. Maybe some passionate kissing instead??? I'd get the message that way- it's make up sex!!!! Minus 1 star.
Ladies, rent this movie for fun. It's a nice wrap-up to the series. Don't expect any epiphanies, just Tiffany's.
