I can’t believe I haven’t talked about the Sex and the City movie yet! I may or may not have mentioned it in passing in a previous post, but it was certainly not given the credit it was due. Katie, Sammie, Annie, and I bought tickets weeks before the movie premiered – just to be sure. The movie came out on the 30th, so we got all dolled up and showed up at the theater at 6:30 for the 7:40 showing. To my surprise, there was a huge crowd of girls also dressed up, already waiting at the velvet rope. I guess I wasn’t expecting there to be so many like-minded females with the same desire to look as fabulous as Carrie/Charlotte/Samantha/Miranda that night. But hey! The more people to share in your “almost-40 but single and fabulous in New York City” fantasy, the better, right?

Anyway, the movie itself was exactly what I was hoping for. Disagree if you like, but I loved/love the series, and I think the movie gave fans of the series what they wanted: an extension of the show, slightly “Hollywood-ized”, but still funny, candid, emotional, and entertaining. Truth be told, I actually cried. On more than one occasion! Granted, I’m a bit of a sap, but I think those who fell in love with the show, and could identify with and understand the characters, probably feel the same way that I do. The ending was endearing and predictably perfect, without being boring.
Bottom line: If you watched and enjoyed the series, or if you’re a sucker for a cute, funny, and fabulous chick flick, (or if you’re a guy who is looking for an easy 99:1 girl to guy ratio) go see this movie!
