So, I just got back from the new Sex and the City movie. I finally convinced my new hubby to go with me. It was great to see the gals again, but I have to say…what’s with all the drama? Yes, there were plenty of laughs, (Charlotte’s reaction to drinking a tiny bit of Mexican water was the biggest) but there was a lot of intense emotional baggage, definitely more than could fit in one of Carrie’s tiny Prada bags. The movie ran over 2 hours and 15 minutes, which felt quite long, being that I’m used to getting them in small 30 minute doses. Maybe it’s because I recently got married, but I felt a lot of negative marriage vibes in this film. Even after people patched things up, it was still heavy.
We all waited for the moment that never came. After Cynthia Nixon’s spill to Bill Eichner during the Creative Nation comedy show, the bloggers went wild. Does Charlotte get killed in a “freak tennis accident”??? Obviously Nixon was just fueling the hype further for a movie that millions had been waiting for anyway. Not sure what she was thinking there…
All of the ladies are looking much older these days. Makes me wonder if their former makeup stylist Kabuki wasn’t taken aboard for their silver screen romp. Although, it was nice to see them admitting how old Sam really is and trading her sex addiction for a brand new “gut” was pretty hilarious and satisfying.
So, what were they trying to say in this epic drama? Marriage is sad and depressing? Relationships get boring? Don’t get me wrong, seeing the gals again after 4 long years was great, but I couldn’t help but wonder…what was the moral of this story? More on this when I’ve gotten some sleep…
