Sex and the City
06/10/2008 Posted by sashasfiasco
I know that this movie wasn't intended as a film with meaningful content but, as someone whose age group (just 40) is portrayed, I thought that just a teensy bit more realistic display of maturity was warranted. I loved the show and appreciated the close friendships, but part of the movie is built around the fact that these women are now older and have (supposedly) become wiser. Their break-ups and misunderstandings at this point in their lives are tiresome and, as plot for a movie (and not a TV show about 28 year olds), too thin. I couldn't sustain myself on the sometimes rediculous costuming and hair, particularly on supposedly professional women with age written across their faces. It starts to look sad, as if the women they portray never realized that their 80s styles were no longer flattering. I was looking for a truly grown up version of the show and didn't get it. On the plus side, Big is hot, hot, hot (eyejob or no) and if those women didn't have body doubles for the bedroom scenes, they looked great. I would have seen the movie, no matter how many bad reviews I read, but I won't watch it again.
Pros: Good shots of New York, pure entertainment
Cons: Very thin plot, degenerated portrayal of mature, professional women
