But having played it so safe, lacking in content and delivering little impact I wonder if it manages to achieve that.

The movie wasn't made to break new ground but simply as a crowd pleaser.

When a series produces a movie I would expect a one off extravaganza and not a 2 and a half hour episode. I think this is because the movie takes no chances and constantly plays it safe. The film is lukewarm, flimsy and left me appropriately unaffected. Although having said that nothing is great either. I found that with Sex and the City the acting isn't bad, nor is the filming, nor anything else for that matter. But clearly not too old for heavy pounding R & B to play through half the movie. What a man, no wonder why she wants to marry him.Īnother part that didn't seem to fit for me was the constant talk of being old. Fix it for her? What did he do, buy the apartment next door too? The space created is amazing! He must be skilled in magic and illusion as well as carpentry. Carrie is unhappy and Big says he will fix it for her. Talking of Wardrobes, what the hell happened in the new apartment? When they came to view the apartment it was a broom closet. But for me I'm following a story, presented in words and images, and expect that to stand out further than the wardrobe.
You could argue that this is the essence of the mood and what Sex and the City is all about. What was occupying the foreground was Vivian Westwood, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dior, Prada and so on and so on. But for me I guess all the events that occurred seemed to be mentioned in passing and a little in the background. The girls went to therapy, organised a wedding, fell pregnant and even crossed international borders. On reflection I guess quite a lot had happened various hurdles and speed bumps in at least 5 relationships. When the movie finished, I felt like (to borrow one of Simon's favourite phrases) nothing happened. For me (a man who hasn't watched one episode) the movie feels less like a movie, and more like what I would image one long episode of the series to be.
Sex and the City has been a huge success, women of all ages had been glued to their TV sets for 10 years before the movie finally arrived. Although she lets out these remarks in frustration to her own relationship things begin to ripple.
Things start to go wrong for her when one of her closest friends lets out a few choice words to Carrie's fiancé. She is moving into a new apartment and becomes engaged to be married. Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) is a writer living in New York. This movie is a continuation of the popular TV series of the same name.
