Carrie On.
http://i.huffpost.com/gen/162317/SEX-AND-THE-CITY-POSTER.jpg
Release date: May 27, 2010
Studio: Warner Brothers/New Line Cinema/HBO Films
Director: Michael Patrick King
Starring: Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon, Chris Noth
Plot Summary: Two years have passed since Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) finally bagged John "Mr. Big" Preston (Chris Noth), the man she was always meant to be with. Just as her friend Charlotte (Kristin Davis) must deal with her young daughter's "terrible two's" (various child actresses), Carrie must deal with her relationship taking a turn for the worse - Big likes to watch old black-and-white movies on TV and eat take-out food, which prevents Carrie from feeling like the free-wheeling party girl she used to be. Meanwhile, Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) copes with a new boss that can't handle an intelligent, powerful woman, and Samantha (Kim Cattrall) works a public relations angle that gets the fashionable foursome an all-expense-paid trip to Abu Dhabi.
COMMENTS?
...Did I enjoy the movie? Yes. Do I think it's for non-fans? No. Do I feel it lives up to the TV series and the first movie? Maybe and no.
Watching the TV series, I kept asking myself, "Why the hell do I watch this show?" The first movie answered all that for me - the friendship at the heart. But this one just ruins it! It buries it all in more fanservice than a Megan Fox film, more shirtless men than Twilight, and more product placement than Yu-Gi-Oh! (none of that is an exaggeration btw)... at least for the first half. The second half seemed to turn it around when Charlotte and Miranda discussed finding themselves away from home, Samantha got arrested (I thought it was going to be for something more embarrasing), and the race against the clock... though the very end focused too much on Carrie IMO (just like the series finale of the TV show).
It wasn't a bad movie, but if you're not a fan of Sex and the City in any form, stay away.
