SATC: My Review
Thank you all for the background info you provided before I went to see "Sex and the City" on Friday. It helped me make sense of the plot-lines. They also showed a brief history blurb on each character at the beginning of the movie, to help fill in the gaps.
Now, on to the movie - despite never having seen the show before, I liked it. I enjoyed the relationship between the girls, and during some scenes, I laughed until tears were streaming down my face. My favorite character was Charlotte - first because she adopted her daughter from China and second because she was so naive that she balanced the worldliness of the others. She also provided the funniest moment of the movie, bar none! Samantha, as one of you said, was WAY over the top! I found Miranda a bit annoying, but I liked Carrie's character. I also loved Jennifer Hudson. Her character and Carrie had a great relationship that seemed very genuine. I can't say much without giving away the story to those of you who did not see the film last weekend, so I won't go into any plot lines.
I must admit that I don't see the appeal of Mr. Big. I probably have to watch the show to appreciate him more. I also do not understand the fashion choices of the girls. I mean, who wears stilettos when going on a beach resort vacation? OK, my grandma once wore pumps when we took her to the beach, but she kept sinking into the sand with each step, and I assure you that for her, the day was not a relaxing one.
These small complaints aside, "Sex and the City" was a great movie to see with the girls. There were several groups just like ours at the restaurant before the show, sitting in the audience of the theater, and at the bar afterwards. The bar was having a special "Sex and the City" deal, where they took $1 off the regular price of a Cosmopolitan. However, since the regular price was TEN DOLLARS, I passed (am I just cheap, or does that sound like a high price for a drink?). Despite our lack of cosmos, my friends and I had a great time together. We chatted up a storm, irritated the elderly couple next to us at the restaurant (sorry nice-looking elderly couple!), and shared some very inappropriate laughter at the misfortunes of a girl in the bathroom (it took us by surprise and we couldn't help it!).
Up next on our agenda, "Mamma Mia!" I can't wait to see Meryl Streep belt out the title number.
Did any of you see "Sex and the City?" What did you think? What other movies are you looking forward to this summer?

Not a huge cosmo fan, I would have passed them up as well.
I haven't even paid attention to what's coming out this summer.
I thought it was great -- just as much a fashion show as it was a movie :o)
My friends and I made dinner & cosmos at home before heading on to the theater. $10 is crazy-expensive in my opinion!!!

My best friend and I went to go see SATC this weekend, but it was sold out. We stood in line for 20 minutes to see another movie, but that was sold out, too. (The weather was kind of gray, drizzly, and crazy-humid last Saturday... I think everyone decided an air-conditioned movie was a good idea.)
We finally went out an got a drink. Non-alcoholic cherry limeade for her and a pomegranate margarita for me. We're wild women.
I adored the movie. I know some people didn't, but I did.
The over the top clothes were in every episode of the show too. It was always funny, to tune in and see what weird ass thing they'd come up with.
I'd say rent the seasons. It will explain it a ton more...but also, it was just a great show.
Oh and I went with friends, but had Starbucks iced teas before hand. We're boring I guess. :)
No plans to see SATC, but can't wait for Mamma Mia! Glad you had fun.
Just got back from seeing SATC for the (almost) second time! We had to leave early from the first one so I had to see what happened at the end! Loved it!
I'm looking forward to Mamma Mia, and Kung Fu Panda, for my 4.5 year old!

Glad you liked the movie! I went with some friends and it was a fun night. We had cosmos, but they costed us $12. Which wasn't too bad,Ive paid $15 before.Ahh living in NYC.Oh and I loved loved the fashion!
just saw it last night and had a blast. fun movie
I'm hoping to go on Saturday, we've got a bunch of gals going though, so it might get canceled (again). I really can't wait!
I've only seen it a couple of times...just a bit worldly for me. I watched it because my daughter (21) loves it so much. She said that the movie was like "five new episodes" - so now you have the idea of the show, too.
