I FINALLY Saw The Sex and the City Movie!

So close to three months after everyone else, I finally saw the Sex and the City movie.

It was exactly what I expected: Witty, sad, heartwarming, girly and altogether fun.

Worth the hype? I'd say so. The whole thing just felt comfortable. It was like the ladies never left TV (Thanks to syndication I suppose they haven't.) I slipped back into their relationships, patterns, and neuroses like an old pair of sneakers. Something about it just felt right.

That's not to say the movie was perfect. They took Miranda and Steve into a weird place, I could've used a little more Jennifer Hudson and **SPOILER ALERT*** I'm a little sad to see that Carrie ended up with Big...again.

Ultimately though, Sex and the City is about a group of friends. And nothing made me happier than waiting the entire summer to see the movie for $3 with my oldest friend on the weekend before she heads back to school. Talk about comfortable.

Things Men Would Rather Do Than See the SATC Movie

The good people over at Vulture talked to red-blooded American dudes about things they'd honestly rather do or experience as opposed to seeing the Sex And The City movie.

The list includes things as benign as eating someone's booger and as ridiculous as getting attacked by one of Michael Vick's dogs. Who says men aren't over-dramatic?

Check out the very funny post for yourself.

You know what probably scares the boys off? Shit like this.

Despite (or is it because of?) all of the hype surrounding SATC, I plan on checking out the flick. I wasn't a huge fan of the show while it was on but I've grown to appreciate it in syndication and I'm curious to see if Carrie and Big end up together. My secret hope? Aidan swoops in and steals her away at the last minute.

A girl can dream right?

Follow-Up: Extended Sex & The City Trailer

Ahhhh! The full trailer is on the web and the movie is starting to make some sense. As you previously read, I am pretty pumped and I was hardly a fan of the show. After seeing the trailer, I may even see it opening weekend. This hilarious post from Scanner means that I probably won't be alone.

I think I'm so interested because the show is still so recent. There is usually such a big lag between TV shows and their film counterparts. It's been less than 5 years since SATC went off the air and these ladies are still in our hearts and living rooms. TV also has an element of realism for me and when shows end I imagine the characters get to keep on going with their wacky adventures, we're just not privy to it. This movie gives us that chance to check in on them.

Almost Better Than Shoes: Sex and the City Trailer

Proof that I am easily swayed by vibrant colors, glitter and city skylines:

The Sex and the City movie trailer.

AHHH! I have never been this excited for a movie based on a TV show ever. That's right, not even you Ninja Turtles. I wasn't even that big of a fan when the show was on. Re-runs on TBS can make anyone a believer.

Mostly, I'm just hoping Brady Hobbes got cuter. He was looking pretty raggedy...even for a baby.
