Sex and The City - The Movie Review

I spent my thirties living in NYC. It was a great time to be young(ish) single, well paid and living in New York City. I used to totally relate to the Sex In the City Girls ("the girls"). I am an attorney, though not like miranda, I love fashion, though I dress more reasonably than Carrie, I love dogs, though I resist dressing mine unlike Charlotte, and Samantha and I well.... lets just move on.

I thought the ending of the series was great, Carrie got Big and everyone was well situated.

I almost did not want to go to the movie because, as far as I was concerned, all they could do was ruin a good memory for me.

Thankfully, the movie did not totally ruin my memory of a great series, though I could have lived satisfied not seeing the familiar faces of the girls once again. As expected they did not age well. Carrie's fashions were as usual over the top, Big had not changed, Miranda was being bull headed-- though she dressed well, Charlotte was well... Charlotte, and Samantha- who looked the best out of all of them, somehow lost some of her appeal and sparkle.

It was an extended 2 hour farewell, that should have been avoided. And, worst of all, they hardly showed any of NYC. After making such a big deal in the series about the city, the love affair with the city, to make a movie where they barely spend any time in the city was frustrating to me, as I miss my adopted home town.

I am sure by now (July 2008) all die hard fans have seen it. I would caution those of you who are not die hard fans, that it will raise more questions for you than it answers, and although I loved the series, I think it is an idea whose time has come and gone.
