no, i won't spoil it for you if you haven't seen it yet. (but you better start questioning your sexual preference if you haven't) i enjoyed my heroines again.
what i didn't like too much: they all glammed up for the movie. in every scene (except one for SJP). even dowdy miranda was so smashing (check her do and her accessories!), a slight feeling that the story is being stretched for the big screen. and with two hours, the witticisms and wisecracks became few and far between. and carrie suddenly so financially stable... i kinda liked the starving writer aura about her. and the POOR EDITING just to minimize the R parts.
what i love about it: fashion, fashion... did i mention fashion? they literally filled up the big screen with glamour and luxury. i love the wedding spread! WOW. that was a fashion highlight. that is the counterpart of the 'transformation scene', the cut-to-cut fashion montage of andy in Devil Wears Prada. the emotional highlight i was expecting BUT it still elicited tears from me! i felt the pain.
i still find the storybook ending a bit incredulous, only because i could still feel her pain. but trust the narration to explain that.
earlier, i read a blurb 'this is the best date movie of the year'. SATC? date movie???? this is chick flick, girl power! but after watching... yeah, it is a date movie... it made me want to give up singlehood and fall in love (but only till the last of the end-credits. hahaha)

SATC beat Indiana Jones at the US box office eventhough its an R-rated film. Go gurl power! =)
"(but you better start questioning your sexual preference if you haven't)"
this one put a smile on my face. maybe i'm not gay enough? shoot. hahaha. i had the time to go to cb but not the time to watch satc. how sad can i get?
am thinking of whether to take some gorgeous young greek god half my age or a "kumpare" to watch this movie this weekend. fashion generally bores me, but in the context of this movies, i know i'm gonna love it.
btw, is it true that carry didn't smoke a single cigarette during the whole movie? if it is... has she gone politically correct??
can't wait to see this. hmmm, i can't even wait to chose what sort of male-date (an accesory really) i'm going to tag along with me. hehehe
the greatest movie ever...
hi mr schizo! girl power reigns!
hello jason: i dont think its sad you prioritized CB over SATC! sex trumps fashion every time! =)
love the name, pedro penduko! hihihi
come to think of it (say it faster: cantutinkopwet!) yeah i didnt notice carrie smoking! and as for your male accessory, just make sure he's more straight than PLU. or else he might be squealing with delight over the movie!
wow. greatest movie.... ever! talaga lang ha, dats! =)
ampogi nung blogger na si "dats" ah. mukhang napakabnago. hehehe, humihirit na naman ako...
desidido na akong mag-isa na lang panuorin mamaya - accessory free weekend muna at nang makapahinga si peter penducker.
I can't wait to watch this... sadly, life is making me super boring. Sigh...
i don't care about the fashion. i want the SEX part haha =p
Should i start questioning my sexual preference because i did not like the movie? No. I think my taste is just different. SJP looks like a gay sagala in her wedding gown and a transvestite in all of her outfits.
Is she suppose to be beautiful in the eye of a straight guy? I dont get it.
should i start questioning my sexual preference because i did not like SATC? Probably not. I think i just have different taste. SJP looks like gay reyna elena in her wedding gown. Is she suppose to be beautiful in the eye of a straight guy? I really dont get it.
All this "girl power" is for me non-sense. Who needs them?
well, some of your points are true. the movie was stretched a bit to fill-in the 2 hours. Among the unnecessary parts, is the Jennifer Hudson character. I thought that was wasted part of the movie.
Yes, the movie was purposedly avoided the R rating. That's a business decision and we can't blame them for that. But aside from sexcapades that these women are known for, the movie celebrated friendship. Being there when your friends needed you the most. The Mexico trip where each one tried their best to cheer up carrie was really touching. They could have shortened that part though. However, Charolotte shitting in her pants was the best! I would say, a timeless SATC moment.
On the matter of Carrie's financial stability, I think she already had 4 books. That explains her financial freedom. Dind't you notice that the movie was like 5 years forward from the last episonde. I guess, at age 40 and if Carrie was still struggling (while donning Blahniks) will be a smack to the face of all fashionistas. I am not saying that can't be true in real life. But the storyline is believable.
Another point, Miranda all glammed up is a breath of fresh air. Didn't really miss her dowdy and sometimes uninspired outfits in the series. She's a lawyer and Brady has grown up (she has a house keeper too!), it just made sense that her fashion sense evolved!
I was an SATC fan, watched most of the episodes but didn't have a high expectations of the movie. I watched it with a couple of gay friends, and I must say, I really had a good time.

mukhang sobrang busy ng career ni peter penducker na kailangan ng pahinga! hope you enjoyed SATC!
do tell me how you like the movie, Marcus! 'super-boring' life? hmmm
the SEX part was cut, cut, cut, Ming Meows... =(
hello anonymous one. im just being stereotypical about the sexual preference reference!
women dress up for other women primarily. that's psychology for you.
and girl power makes sense for some people who feel they have not had a voice. it's all about being heard.
hello j of long island. a celebration of friendship. an affirmation of love, too! six years of SATC created profiles of each character in my mind. that was my expectation going inside the moviehouse. SATC the movie, fast forward, changed a lot of those profiles: carrie, miranda, even samantha. credible, yes. but it also changed some of the sources of the TV show's angst and wit.
wasn't so carried away.. too many cuts and samantha suffered from most of them.
and yeah, carrie suddenly becoming so stable is a bit disappointing. i wanted to know what happened to the money she owed charlotte (for the ring).
hi booboostrider! havent heard from you in quite a while! hmmm. yeah, whatever happened to that? presumably paid off from one of those books???
saw the one of two (or several??) advance screening months back.
loved the series...
loved the movie...
and i really so love carrie (and miranda, and charlotte and most specially samantha!)
is it out on DVD yet?
