I was looking for something to do tonight, so i looked through my dvd movies. I picked out a copy of The Sex and The City Movie. It really was tremendous. It picked up a couple of years later, after the series had finished. Carrie gets engaged to Big, Miranda deals with marital life in Brooklyn, Samantha deals with life in L.A. and being monogamous with Smith, and Charlotte and Harry are taking it one day at a time with their adopted girl Lily and end up with an impressive surprise.
There are instants of heartache and hard times but much like in the series, the specialty of these four womens’ friendships is what helps them through life. The style, just as in the series, is cutting edge and as entertaining as the characters. There is an grand collage when Carrie plays dress up in designer bridal gowns for a mag spread and the ladies attend fashion week later in the dvd. Carrie ends up getting a personal assistant and Jennifer Hudson was a great add-on to the cast of actors.
For critics who would like some substance in a picture pressing 180 minutes, though, it’s easy to write up 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 worn wisdom with the wistful dreams they still share. Concurrently, there’s good deal of fun to be experienced. A vision of which doesn’t demand its characters being fixed in amber after a fairytale ending and allows life to go on, happily and unconventionally.
On the flipside It’s just that there’s been an altitude adjustment — fewer stilettos, more flats. Ask what women require of a chick flick and one answer may be this — a gratifying reunion with cherished friends. Ask what women deserve and the response is greater. In both its TV and movie embodiments, the empty materialism and genuine hankering for love constantly manage to cancel each other out, leaving behind nothing but what this began as — a situation comedy.
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 good as the television show but will still exhilarate lovers of the original show.
