College Girl and I went to see this last night. The plot of the movie surprised me, but it shouldn’t have. And I hadn’t heard the plot anywhere else.
In one sense, it was like seeing several episodes of the show at once. It was a fun movie, with a constant parade of fashion, some better than others; a multitude of very high stilettos and a closet to die for.
There was more than a splash of eroticism, even if expected, with less censorship than would have got past in earlier years.
The strengths to me are in the friendship between the women, though they are all different, and perhaps in the overall picture of love and forgiveness.
The negative is that I’m not enamored of any of the men they are involved with. None. So that makes it hard for me and gives an added twinge to setting aside reality, which you really do in this movie.
Another negative was that the music drowned out the words in more than one place. It could have been toned down a bit.
I really don’t see any chemistry between Big and Carrie. They have the enthusiasm of a wet noodle. Carrie is always good, especially so in her Vogue wedding gown shoot. Her working relationship with Louise (Jennifer Hudson) was like on fast forward.
Charlotte is too perky for words, living her bliss, annoyingly so. She and Harry have a token Chinese daughter who is in a lot of scenes. She doesn’t say much, but she figures in the plot, and the one word she says is not so funny. The rest of Charlotte’s story is not really true to life percentage wise. That could have been made clearer.
Miranda has one of the erotic scenes which I find strange in light of her personal life in real life. Maybe that’s good acting. She’s not very likable in this movie for a number of reasons. She is the stronger of the two in her marriage, but that isn’t particularly pretty. For a smart woman, she sure was dumb in her home life. I don’t think you have to sacrifice your personal life on the altar of your career, especially when we never see her in her career.
Samantha steals the show in a lot of ways. She has some particularly funny scenes. She isn’t easy to please, but then again, as I said, Smith is less than interesting, though he gives her some nice gifts. It’s her neighbor that provides the erotic laughs — and her staying away from him. He has one three-some, so you might want to be prepared for that.
All this said, would I go see Sex and the City 2, if there were one? Yes, I probably would. After a while, would it be as interesting if they were all in their 60s? maybe so.

I can’t vote as I haven’t seen it yet, but I “saw” it through your own eyes, which was a real pleasure. I will probably try to catch it at some point, just because the show was so good.
BTW, I ran across a deliriously funny take on the show on the Net (Funk and the City, I believe it was called), I posted a link on POL. They have recast it with female body builders; it’s hilarious to see Carrie with biceps and shoulders that would scare Arnie out of his wits, LOL
I think you’d think it was fun.
I saw that site you posted and it was funny. I don’t mind if you repost it here.
