Sex And The City

I hadn't seen the girls in a while so I was excited.
This had been a long time coming. I treated it like I was going on a date.
I showered, flossed, threw on my lipglass, and I was on my way!
The anticipation was more than I could handle.
The previews before the film seemed endless.
I was thinking 'Get on with it already'!

And then it happened. Carrie appeared on the screen.
Aaaah!! I knew it'd be brilliant.
Michael Patrick King had written and directed the movie.
And if you're a true SATC buff you know that he was born to do this.
Some of the most classic episodes and quotes from the show were written by him.

Back to the movie....

So suddenly they were all there....Charlotte, Miranda, and Samantha!
I was jumping up and down on the inside.
Carrie was with Big...er, uhm, John Preston!
Samantha was in Los Angeles with Smith Jarrod.
Charlotte and Harry had their adopted daughter.
And Miranda, Steve and Brady were still in Brooklyn.
Even Magda was there. I thought that was a nice touch.

The girls looked fantastic! Especially my girl, Miranda.
She looked absolutely amazing in every single frame of this movie.
And they owed her that because we all know that Miranda wasn't
looking so great the first couple seasons! Kudos to Pat Fields!


So....the movies good! I'm getting reaquainted w/
everybody and then things fall apart.
I didn't want to Steve to cheat on Miranda.
I didn't want Miranda to be so unhappy throughout the film.
I didn't want Samantha in L.A.
And what was up with Smith's hair?
I certainly didn't want Big to freeze at the wedding.
I didn't want Carrie to go on her honeymoon without him.
I didn't want Carrie to even go on the honeymoon.
(Shout-out to SJP for going on camera w/out makeup. She's a true artist.
Not many actresses would've done it.)
From the moment the wedding went wrong I felt myself holding my breath.
Everything got really slow from that point.

Why didn't they just turn around and go back to the church?
No one would've noticed. There was still time.
Why didn't Miranda just let Steve finish.
It wouldn't have been that long.
Why? Why? Why?

Overall, was the movie good? YES!
Did it have it's usual quick wit and sarcasm? YES!
Was Jennifer Hudson FABULOUS and believable and a welcome
diversion from the gloom? YES!
Did I eventually get to breathe? YES!
I just didn't want to sit uncomfortably throughout the whole movie
waiting for it.

I didn't want so much reality.
I wanted to laugh more.
I wanted more Stanford...more Tony.
I wanted more blowjob speeches and teabag on the sofa laughter.
All in all, I wanted the movie to start where it ended.
