Sex and the City


Sex and the City

(2008, directed by Michael Patrick King)

I realize that few people who visit Movie Forums will be going out to see Sex and the City: The Movie (which is a shame), so I'm just gonna make my basic points:

** This movie was a hell of a lot better than Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

** Judging by the long lines I saw this weekend (Saturday @ 1:30pm right after my 11 am showing ended), this is the Star Wars for women.

** It was delightful. I swear I may not see a better film this year.

** It's a great movie, but it will definitely work more for you if you're already a fan of the TV show.

** My only real complaint is that they could have done something much better with Kim Cattrall's 'Samantha' character...

** I usually enjoy Roger Ebert's movie reviews, but his review for this movie made him sound like an old fart.

** This movie is ... not like most other movies being made today. They did a good job in turning the show into a movie... making it FEEL like a movie. It is a visual and emotional masterpiece, a high sensory experience, an old, classic love story.

** I hope you'll watch it sometime.
