Sex and The City Movie - LOVED It!
May 31st, 2008 by Kate Olson
As Diane wrote about friends and moms needing Girls’ Nights Out last week, I just HAD to share about my girly night of wine and the new Sex and The City movie last night! As all of the men reviewing the movie seem to agree, it’s a chick flick of the top degree, so do NOT listen to any review by a man - seriously. I have to admit that I’m a die-hard Sex and The City fan and my best friend and I used to rent the season dvds over and over and over again whenever we were visiting one another (she was in Atlanta for 5 years - we had lots of time to make up when we DID get together!) Unfortunately I wasn’t able to see the movie with Suzanne last night, but I did get to go with one of my wonderful local girlfriends and we had a glass of wine and chatted for a while before the movie. Here’s my short and sweet (no spoiler) review of Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda’s latest adventure:
I. Loved. It.
It was everything this SATC fan wanted to see and so much more. Yes, it was rather dramatic and over-the-top in some parts, but this movie NEEDS to be like this - it’s the last installment of a legacy! It was one of those movies where the audience as laughing and crying and cheering along with the movie - my friend and I left and just kept saying, “it was PERFECT!” and so on. Sigh. It, of course, brought back all of MY memories of watching the show with friends, so that definitely impacted my feelings about the movie - I guess I can’t really tell you what I would have thought if I hadn’t already been a huge fan of the show. As for the sex part of the SATC movie, well, no-holds-barred. It was as HBO as HBO or even more so - NOT a movie for young girls to see with mom, by any means!
I’ll say it again - I. LOVED. IT.
I definitely need those nights of being off mom duty more often…………….
*no spoilers in the comments please, I know some moms aren’t as fortunate as I was to get to go on the first night!

Kate,
True confession: I’ve never seen a single episode of Sex and the City (have to save something for my dotage).
Yet I have every intention of seeing - and enjoying - this movie with my friends.
I only go to “fun” movies, like Indiana Jones or Enchanted. I am well aware of the pain and misery in the world, and I don’t need to see it recreated on the big screen.
Give me escapism, fantasy, chick filcks. Reality can wait until later.

SATC fans can not be disappointed! The audience was great… lots of cheers, and a few of us clucking “Mr. Big” at one point. The group attending the opening day of the movie were true fans and there was a “no holds barred” as Samantha would say emotion in the room. My crew included my Mom and my sisters… everyone over in our group was over 21 and I was thankful!! Gotta love HBO!!
Mardy McGaws last blog post..Weebly Tutorial I LOVE IT!
Loved it, loved it, loved it! Although it seemed everyone had the same idea - dinner and drinks at Chicago Uno (right across from the theater) and then the movie. I met a lot of moms at Chicago Uno in the same boat as my friends and me - happy to have a night out with the girls
i noticed that Sex and the City has a polarizing effect on both men and women… people either love the movie or they hate it
