I was searching for anything to do tonight, so i searched through my dvd movies. I plucked out a copy of The Sex and The City Movie. It truly was tremendous. It plucked up a few years later, after the tv series had finished. Carrie gets engaged to Big, Miranda deals with married life in Brooklyn, Samantha deals with life in L.A. and being monogamous with Smith, and Charlotte and Harry are taking it day to day with their adopted daughter Lily and end up with an dramatic surprise.
There are moments of heartache and difficult times but much like in the tv series, the specialty of these four womens’ friendships is what assists them through life. The fashion, just like in the series, is cutting edge and as interesting as the characters. There is an surprising montage when Carrie plays dress up in designer bridal gowns for a mag spread and the ladies attend fashion week later in the movie. Carrie ends up getting a personal assistant and Jennifer Hudson was a great add-on to the cast of actors.
For critics who’d like a little heart and soul in a film pushing 2 1/2 hours, though, it’s easy to report that this Sex is more than just a fan dance. They’re all over 40 nowadays, and writer/director Michael Patrick King deftly balances their hard spent wiseness with the wistful dreams they still share. At the same time, there’s plenty of fun to be experienced. A vision of which doesn’t expect its characters being fixed in amber after a fairytale ending and allows life to go on, happily and unconventionally.
On the flipside It’s simply that there’s been an altitude adjustment — fewer stilettos, more flats. Ask what women need of a chick flick and one response may be this — a pleasant reunion with cherished friends. Ask what women deserve and the answer is greater. In both its TV and movie embodiments, the void materialism and honest hankering for love constantly manage to scratch each other out, leaving behind nothing but what this started out as — a sitcom.
But as a whole Sex and the City blu ray dvd is worth add-on to your collection, so give it a good watch. It’s not as gratifying as the TV show but will still exhilarate lovers of the original show.
