Sex and the City
VERY GOOD movie. I think it is a good ending after the tv series. If you have seen the series then you absolutely have to see the movie.
nothing special
The movie itself is fine as it's just the TV series writ large. There's enough of the usual cast of characters but the 2+ hr. length does mean it drags especially after the 1st hour. Definitely a lot better than expected as often TV series jumping to the big screen have trouble making that jump.
The problem is the DVD extras are sadly lacking. All we get is a director's commentary. You'd think with the fashions-a-go-go and the whole "will/won't they do a movie" controversy that there could have been more extras on here.
A Bunch of Old Women
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for charity and feeling pity for the aged. However, making a movie that is basically a two hour commercial for fashionistas, purses, shoes, and ridiculous looking clothes is stretching it a bit. I understand that Sex in the City is something special for women, creating that bit of fantasy that old women like Kim Catrall or Sarah Jessica Parker are still attractive and not just playing pathetic, horny, old women is too much of an impossibility. Don't get me wrong I love the fantasy and Sci-Fi genre, but this movie goes from being fiction to being just an outright lie.
Even my girlfriend wondered why we bought this movie, to her and I quote "it was basically a commercial, devoid of any story or meaningful character development." Which is an understandable sentiment considering that the entire series is just that, nothing to do with anything truly meaningful or of substance just a bunch of old women who still think the have something to offer the opposite sex asides a withered and loose uterus and saggy breasts. But at least it has enough fashion in the movie because without it, the movie has nothing else.
Enjoy this deathtrap ladies.
