I think I am one of the few males who actually enjoyed the TV show when it was on (actually I watched it on DVD after each season), because when this movie was mentioned to many male colleagues and friends it acted much as garlic to a vampire. they seemed to whither away and hide in a dark place as if in terror.
Look, the show featured four (OK 3 1/2) very nice looking girls, drinking and talking about sex, and actually doing the act many times (that Samantha!) It was funny and touching, and I liked the women most of the time. Its all good as far as I am concerned.
I approached the movie with caution though...you know how these things go...trying to live up to old times. But Sex and the City: The Movie (2008) was not too bad. It did not live up to the show itself, but it was very close, and it was great to see these four women reunited.
There were some very nice moments in the movie, both funny and dramatic, and while I am glad they acknowledged the aging of the characters, and all that comes with that process, the scenes did sometimes still feel a bit forced, the gaiety a bit put on. And if they screamed one more time when they saw each other...that just needed to go!
Still, Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha are better than so many of the movie characters out there, that there was no deep disappointment or regret about the film. The next one really needs to be Sex and The Suburbs though.
