This may just be the first time I have actually gone out on opening day to see a movie. But oh Manolo it was worth it!
Sex and the City: The Movie was a fabulous wrap up with the most memorable women to ever grace the TV screen. Sex and the City is unarguably one of the best television shows of this generation. Certainly some of it is over the top and more glamorous than the everyday woman's life but the core of the show and of Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha is honest. Each of us has a little of each of them to some degree. The finale of the show was sweet and really closed things off nicely everyone seemed quite quite happy without being overly happily ever after.
SPOILER ALERT!
I love movies like this because they are what a movie is supposed to be: an experience. In the theatre everyone was laughing, crying, cheering and clapping at all the same places. Everyone gasped when Steve cheated on Miranda. Everyone was tearing up when Big leaves Carrie at their wedding. There was cheering when everyone got back together in the end. Yet it isn't hokey. Sure the outfits are ridiculous and unrealistic for those of us who don't' live in NYC. I personally love to discount shop at the SJP clothing line in Steve & Barry's since I don't have $500 to blow on other labels. Still I cried when Carrie accosts Big in the street because I've been that angry at a man I loved for disappointing me for the hundredth time. The movie was interesting it put a lot of things to rest and still gave hope for another reunion flick. Especially since Charlotte and Samantha were not heavily played on. And what about Stanley and Anthony kissing?!?!? Where did Marcus go are they lovers now????? I mean I called that way back in like season 5 so I was a little disappointed they left that hanging. Also I was insanely bummed out that Samantha and Smith split up. I really liked them together and her being sort of domesticated and I was sincerely thinking that in the end of the flick they would work out their differences. Everyone in my theatre was incredibly happy that Charlotte had Lily and eventually Rose but again underdeveloped. Also where was Harry?!?!?! He is like the cutest and most loyal of all the men and he was barely in the piece!!! Sigh. Don't get me wrong this movie was fierce with a capital F but when you fall so in love with a work of fiction like women everywhere did with Sex and the City its difficult to think that there is an end. But the movie is the glamorous end to one of the most honestly wonderful movements in [women's] entertainment. Let's just hope that there will be a reunion every 4 years to keep out fix.
