Movie Reviews of Sex and the City - The Movie (Special Edition)
Movie Review: Stylish, Romantic Comedy
Summary: 4 Stars
This is actually pretty good movie - although it has a predictable ending. It continues the story of the lush life of four girlfriends from a TV Series.
Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) and her friends continue to show off beautiful dresses, shoes and purses. A fashion show that helps designers sell their clothes I am sure. Not a bad marketing idea...
The movie turns out to be an interesting romantic comedy that continues after four years have passed from the TV series. The film begins with everyone married but Carrie at 40 years of age. Carrie and Mr. Big (Chris Noth) decide to get married as a practical idea as they search for an apartment together. It should be in both of their names and each contribute equally to the costs. Carrie buys a practical dress and settles for a small wedding with 75 people. Somehow the plans snowball to a wedding with 200 guests, a designer wedding gown and a fancy location (Library with many romance novels.) Mr. Big backs out and Carrie is devastated beyond belief - same old story. Her friends Charlotte (Kristin Davis), Samantha (Kim Kattrall), and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) go down to a Mexican Resort with Carrie to help her heal and forget the man who ripped her heart out.
Carrie and friends return to their lives and sub-plots on each are shown. In the end Cinderella gets her prince, and let's hope this is the final chapter. It ends on a high note with all loose ends tied nicely.
Summary of Sex and the City - The Movie (Special Edition)
Studio: New Line Home Video Release Date: 09/23/2008 Rating: RAs light and frothy as the Vivienne Westwood wedding gown that's an unofficial fifth star, the film version of Sex and the City is both captivatingly stylish and sweetly sentimental. Viewers who loved hanging with Carrie Bradshaw and her three pals during the series' TV run will feel as though no time has passed. Except that it has: Carrie and Big are poised to make a Big Commitment; Miranda and Steve are facing the breakup of their wonderful family; Charlotte and Harry have added to their brood; and Samantha (are we sitting down?) has been devoted to hunky Smith for five full years. Still, in all that time, the women's style, conviviality, and appetite for bons mots have only grown. When practical attorney Miranda learns that Carrie is considering moving in with Big (in possibly the coolest apartment in Manhattan), she can't help but frown in that but-you-might-lose-everything way. Carrie's retort: "For once, can't you feel what I want you to feel--jealous?!" The cast is spot-on, as always. Sarah Jessica Parker is effortless as the angst-ridden yet practical, stylish yet vulnerable Carrie. Kim Cattrall is deliciously decadent as Samantha, but she's wiser now and knows herself and her needs for a real relationship. Kristin Davis, as Charlotte, has quietly become the most gorgeous among the beauties, her sleek presence both winsome and sophisticated. And Cynthia Nixon (Miranda) shows nuance as a woman torn between betrayal and grudging hope. Supporting roles include Candice Bergen as the Vogue editor who anoints Carrie "The Last Single Girl in New York," and Jennifer Hudson, as a starry-eyed, ambitious romantic who represents the new generation of SATC women. Through it all, New York is a benevolent cocoon that envelopes and nurtures the women and their friendships and careers. No matter that none of them appears to have any semblance of "real" family; as long as they have each other, and Manhattan, all will be right with their world. --A.T. Hurley
