Who Is Having Sex In The City?

So on Monday, I went to see a movie at the Galleria. Please note that this was more about the company than the movie; we had no clue what was on, and what times! But when we got upstairs, we saw that the only movie that we could see within the time frame was the one and only SEX AND THE CITY.
We both groaned… outwardly.

See, I was never a fan of the series. I might have seen one or two episodes and really liked Miranda (the red head), but I felt there was no substance, the sex talk was too much (but in their defense, the title does give you forewarning, abi?), and Miranda had to play third fiddle to confused Carrie and sassy Samantha.
Besides, the movie had been so hyped and anticipated, that I was sure it was the last thing I would want to see in a cinema; I felt I would be disappointed.

So we got our popcorn and drinks and settled in. (I almost fell as I walked in, but that is another note! LOL).
And we both looked at each other, knowing we were in for the worst time of our movie-watching lives.
Did the movie disappoint?
Err..

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE ABOUT THE MOVIE
- Was that really a movie, or was it just an excuse for fashion designers to plug their products?
- It was boring. Or it went on for too long. I mean, there was only 45mins of story in there to be honest, but no o, they had to let it drag so Carrie could change her shoes a million times
- BAD ACTING! I am sorry but was Chris Noth that bad in the series? And why couldn’t Sarah Jessica Parker deliver Carrie’s punchlines properly? She had so many funny retorts WRITTEN for her, but when she said them, we didn’t even blink. And then, Miranda’s husband was a bit off. Infact, some of the best acting came of course from Samantha, and then the bit characters like Charlotte’s husband! Uhn?
- If you have never seen the series, then you would have been a bit lost. They did not take time out to explain the characters properly, and also how they got there. Infact, if you have never watched the series, you would not understand just how much Samantha was sacrificing to be in a committed relationship. Had to keep explaining to my friend why certain things were such a big deal.

OKAY, BUT WHAT DID I LIKE?
- Hello! The clothes! I mean, I have found inspiration for Tosyn, Hazel and CON.tra.diction. The clothes were fab and as my friend put it, that movie was just a VISUAL COSMO!
- The French guy with two lines, with the perfect butt. Ladies, esamo?
- If you are on a date, and you sit at the back, then you can sneak in a kiss or two!
- Jennifer Hudson starrs in a movie where she thankfully does not have to sing. It is a good move for her to tackle something like that so she doesn’t get put in the box early in her acting career.
- I can understand why Sarah Jessica Parker and / do not get along. Samantha is a sassy character with far better sizzle than Carrie. Samantha almost steals Carrie’s shine in movie world, and ? steals the limelight from Sarah with fab acting as far as I am concerned.
- We love the Louis Vuitton bag. Fullstop.

SO, SHOULD YOU SEE IT?
- Yes. If you have nothing else to do with your life ever! Or, if you just really need a dark room to snog in. Or, if you want to check out great ideas for your new wardrobe. Or, if you want to punish your boyfriend for being bad.

  1. Nice review. Initially I didn't want to read it because I haddn't seen the movie but I liked the caption so I did. Am a big fan of the series but for some unknown reason I have just been too busy lately. Hopefully I will see the movie today. Am off to check out the rest of your blog. Will add you to my blog list.

  2. well i hated the show more than u did girl. feel it set women back waaaaay further than a sitcom about housewives extolling the virtues of being barefoot and pregnant could (and honestly, that isnt a bad thing pple). i'm not much of a clothes horse so i dont see fashion the claim is in there. personally that fruitbasket hat sjp wore to the premier was nothing short of ridiculous. but hey to each his (well HER) own yeh?
