Not So Much Sex in the City
Strangely, this brief review mirrors how I felt about the new Indiana Jones…
Going into the theater, my expectations were low. The television series was great at times…and also dragged on during certain points. But I knew that the film would maintain the same spirit as the show.
The big screen adaptation of Sex & The City was entertaining and familiar. That’s all. That’s it.
The writers made sure to pepper the film with doses of harsh realities, so it wasn’t all fun and games for the beloved foursome. But it felt like 5 episodes smashed into one, complete with cheesy in-jokes and outrageous outfits. I laughed out loud twice during the entire 2+ hours, but judging by the giggles and cheers, the majority of the audience clearly enjoyed the movie more than me.
I recommend Sex & The City as a rental. But I have Seasons 1-3 on DVD at home, and look forward to revisiting the ladies from those stellar episodes instead.
