Sex and the City the Movie [MA]

As girls, they came to New York to find love. Now, as women, they face the challenge of holding onto it. As Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, and Charlotte juggle relationships, careers, and motherhood, they realise that friendship never goes out of style. 

To be fair, I have never seen an episode of the show in my life, so what I say here may come across as being a little bias or misunderstanding. The whole Sex and the City thing just never interested me and, to be honest, I I’m not the biggest fan of Sarah Jessica Parker either. This was a real girls’ movie. It was filled with glamorous shoes and costumes, friendship, drama, and romance. If you’ve seen the show, then it’s probably enjoyable, but for me it was just complete sap. 

As girls, they came to New York to find love. Now, as women, they face the challenge of holding onto it. As Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte struggle through the strain and dramas of relationships, marriage, careers, and motherhood, they realise that friendship never goes out of style. 

For me, the highlight of the movie was the costumes and the shoes. Oh my, they were so pretty. But the rest of the movie was the longest hallmark fashion and phone advertisement I’ve ever seen. 

I’ll admit that the movie had a good little script, that was charming and occasionally witty, but the characters and the content I just don’t find interesting. 

Sarah Jessica Parker’s voice-over narration dominates the movie, but fair play, that’s how it transitions from scene to scene, and the slow-motion shots of dropping the phone and then throwing it into the ocean were cheesy and really not necessary. Maybe that’s just following the style of the show, you have to keep in mind that I don’t know having never seen an episode. 

Starring Sarah Jessica Parker. Cynthia Nixon, Kim Catrall, Kristin Davis, Chris North, Jennifer Hudson, and Candice Bergen, Sex and the City the Movie was a real chick flick, one that I just really didn’t see the point of. Filled with glamour, break-ups, sex, romance, comedy, friendship, and drama, at least I can say “yes I have seen the Sex and the City movie”, but I have no desires to watch it again thank you very much.
