Sex In The City

Some people say that television series can’t successfully be turned into movies. Even though this film is technically suppose to be about what happens after the last episode from television I found it to be somewhat satisfying. I must say that I am a huge fan from the television series so once again I should state this in the begging so you know where I am coming from. First, if there is anyone that does not know what Sex In The City is then heaven help your soul. In a nutshell basically the series is about a group of women who live in New York City and they go through life’s roller coaster of experiences with men, fashion, men and well some things that I am not sure I can say. But basically this show was worshiped by women all over the world because every woman could find something they could relate with that one of the characters might have gone through in the show. There is more information on the television show if you want just type the name of the television show in Google bar and the rest will be revealed. But for the case of this post I am focusing on the movie, and not the television series. So, as I was saying about the film the end of the television series leaves the viewers somewhat on the edge of what really happens to the characters?

The film takes off after some time where the series ends and basically wraps up what happens to all the characters that devoted fans were dying to see. Personally, the film is very long so remember to take a bathroom break when needed. The girls of the show Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha all come together in this great film which I would say ends on a great note. I don’t want to spoil the movie but I have to say that the movie made me laugh at the crazy things the characters do such as when watching the film pay attention to Charlotte in the part where the girls go on a vacation. Or the times when the film reminds me of what friendships really mean. Being there when times are good like when Carrie plans the wedding to her perfect man Big (yes that is his name in the film) and things don’t always go as she dreamed. Friends are their to pick up the pieces and I really suggest watching this movie at a “girl’s night” or for a “girl’s movie marathon” time.

Other mentions: This film has been reviewed by a lot of people on the internet but I would like to add a few mentions. First, there is another sequel of this film being mentioned and I am not sure of the exact release day. Second, if you are a female and have not seen this movie please give it a chance! Even if you have not watched the television series which is really long, at the beginning of the film there is kind of a mind refresher where the movie states what happens to the characters before so you will not be completely lost. So please watch this movie and do not judge it at face value. The film will not solve world hunger, but it might solve the problem of wanting to watch a movie that leaves you feeling good after watching it.

In a nutshell: Sex In The City is a fun film for the women out there that have not seen it or simply want to watch it again. Ultimately, this is a film that Sarah Jessica Parker fans must watch to see how far she has come as an actor. But this film is also about having a fun time watching a movie and being able to watch this film with some close girlfriends or even watching it with your mother if you are brave enough.

Movie companions:
• Invite some girlfriends over
• Order some take out, or cook if you posses the skill to do so
• Get some cocktails ready or beverages (alcohol is only recommended for those of you that are old enough, which I am guessing is a good chunk of the women who would watch this film). I would recommend making the shows classic Cosmopolitans.
• Have a movie night!
• Call it “Girls who kick @#%” or “Girls you wish you knew in real life” or just be creative with the name.

Movie recommendations to watch along with Sex In The City are:
• Failure To Launch
• Pretty Woman
• Charlie’s Angels
• Dirty Dancing
• For a darker side watch The Women

Treats to have by your fingertips:
• A big drink preferably a Cosmopolitan.
• Chocolate cupcakes with sprinkles
