Everybody loves great sex and last night I experienced the best of it for two and a half hours!!!-- I had a front row seat at an advanced screening of “Sex & The City: The Movie” and there wasn’t one moment that didn’t bring extreme pleasure. Appropriately, our group of four sat amongst other anxious fans as bonus footage from the Red Carpet of the New York City premiere warmed us up for the main event. As the stars exited their limos in predictably incredible fashion get-ups, the theater crowd cheered for their favorites, Kim Cattrell (Samantha) receiving the most screams and cheers. Finally, as we are ready to burst, Sarah Jessica leads us into the NYC theater and we are all on the edge of our seats as an upgraded, jazzier version of the tantalizing theme song re-introduces us to the magical scenes of New York and our four favorite forty-somethings.
The entire screenplay was perfectly executed. Missing is absolutely nothing from the clever and full-circle writings of the individual episodes that we all fell in love with. It packs even more true-life hilarity, while creating new and relatable heart-smashing despair. The fashion somehow, someway even managed to step it up as a pair of Manolo’s becomes so much more than a “$480- no, $525” pair of pumps.
This was probably the best movie I have seen in years. Even if you have never seen the television series, the movie is strong enough to stand alone and still worth your Friday night. The first ten minutes highlight each character’s personality enough to understand who they are, what they are about and why the world loves this quartet.
I give this ‘Sex’ a ten out of ten….and I’m not easy to please!
