In Theaters: Sex and the City

May 29, 2008 - Film Reviews

sex.jpgFriends, fashion, fun, flings, what’s not to like? Die-hard Sex and the City fans will not be disappointed by this two-hour-long episode of their favorite show, from the first notes of the theme song to the closing credits. A lively, lightening quick recap sets the pace and places our four favorite friends, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis, in their current settings:  Miranda, Steve and Brady are living in Brooklyn; Carrie and Big are madly in love in Manhattan, Samantha has moved to Malibu to manage Smith’s booming acting career, and Charlotte and Harry are happily hunkered down on Park Avenue with their adopted Chinese toddler. Great clothes, interior design, shopping and shoes serve as backgrounds for every woman’s ultimate fantasy, which turns to every woman’s ultimate nightmare, and transitions into what’s ultimately right for our heroines. We’ve never loved them more. Michael Patrick King has basically taken all our favorite things from Sex and the City and given us more, more, more. Four years later, we still can’t get enough. Rated R
