One of the Best Summer 2008 Has to Offer

I only watched the early seasons but that didn’t prevent me from thoroughly enjoying this movie. I’m glad that it had some sort of an introduction to familiarize those that haven’t seen a single episode or people like me that didn’t see it until the end. Even though this is about two and a half hours long, it barely felt like two hours because it was full of ups and downs, interesting characters, fantastic fashion, and beautiful people. Each main actress–Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon–had something special to offer so I was glad that the film featured each of them at one point or another. I love that there is no perfect, cookie-cutter character because perfection is not what “Sex and the City” is about. It’s about problems: how people deal with the problems, moving on, and how to deal with similar problems in the future, all of which are wrapped in a feminist point of view. What I’m surprised about is how much gravity it had… especially after a certain event (you’ll know what I’m referring to once you watch it). It wasn’t handled in a cliched way but it’s delicate and touching enough to be close to perfection. The movie is so consistently funny, I had a smile from beginning to end. In fact, I wanted it to continue because I wanted to know more about what would happen to the characters. I’m glad they made a movie because it had the chance to give something truly special to its fans. Even though most guys will most definitely not like it, women will more than enjoy it. Fortunately, I’m one of those guys that did enjoy its brilliance. I’m crossing my fingers for a sequel!
