05/31: Sex and the City
Cole:
Cole: America's 4 favorite women are back with the same problems and new clothes.
Bobby: Old women buy overpriced designer goods and bitch about their love lives. Cool, thanks for reminding me why I'll never get married.
It's been almost 10 years to the week since what would become America's four favorite single women living in New York City began discussing fashion, food, friends and of course, sex. Six seasons, 94 episodes and 50 Emmy nominations later, Carrie and the gang left set boxes across the nation and women everywhere disconnected their HBO service. Well it's barely been four years since the show went off the air and the big screen version is finally here. The only question is if this is the equivelent of 3 cliche episodes of "Sex", where there are big questions, typical answers and nothing interesting going on or a soap opera drama that hits all of the high and low feelings we had in the greatest moments the series had, filled with the now classic dialogue that re-wrote the genre.
I'm pleased to report that it's much more in line with the latter. All the main characters remain, and the movie seemingly picks right back up where the show ended: Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) is a bestselling author still dating Mr. Big; Samantha (Kim Cattrall) has moved to Hollywood to work as an agent and be with her boyfriend/client; Charlotte is happily married with an adopted daughter and a kid on the way; and last but not least Miranda is (kind of) happily married and living in Brooklyn with her family. Take all that and scramble it up, because there are so many twists and turns it's almost hard to keep up with what's going on with whom. Fortunately a balance is struck between them and it all works. (Don't worry, no spoilers here.)
As a male who used to be a fan of the series but wasn't interested in seeing the movie, I can simply say that even though I was very unhappy to be at this advance screening, I ended up being drawn in to the story and the characters once again and ultimately really enjoyed the movie. I can only imagine the die hards across the world will love it even more.
