Tagline: Get Carried Away.
Rated R for strong sexual content, graphic nudity and language.
I have never watched the series but that isn't a deterence for watching this movie. It gives ample explanation so that you wont get lost in following the life and lifestyles of these 4 wonderful New York ladies.
This is essentially a love story but what really touched me is the friendship ties shared among these 4 friends. You can actually feel the tight friendship when Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) fed Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) at her lowest point in her life, a point where she played very well as a jilted, scorned, failed, embarassed, confused bride-to-be (or bride-she-never-became). Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), the sex-pot, still looks good with her botox obsession (addressing beauty and sex issues which most women endure) and Miranda Hobbes (Chyntia Nixon) really plays her role well as a self-inflicted stressful working mother (due to her perfectionist personality).
This movie gives some insights to what love and friendship is all about. To be able to love so deep and be hurt so badly and yet you still dare to love some more.... these are feelings that everyone aspire to experience but don't always have the chance. It gives some insights to love and the mad things that it makes you do, marriage, counseling and divorce, singlehood/loneliness and the fear of it, friendship and betrayal, anger and forgiveness, temptation and loyalty, botox and the consequences - all the ups and downs of big city lifestyle. Also touches the issues of aging, like being single and 50! (These girls are in their 40s and 50s). I like a line which Carrie impart to her young apprentice, Louise (Jennifer Hudson), "Enjoy yourself. That's what your 20s are for. Your 30s are to learn the lessons; your 40s are to pay for the drinks."
A movie about girl power and survival in New York in search of Love and Labels. Not only does it address women issues, it does gives some insights to men's feelings towards love and marriage. A very good movie, highly recommended.
Danger alert: After watching this movie, you may develope the urge to splurge on "Labels" as you fear you might get old and not having worn anything nice. Yours truly went out to buy 5 pairs of shoes!

sadly, kelly, this movie was a complete miss for me! I thought the plot was shabby and there's not enough screen time between the two leads, Mr. Big and JSP. Samantha's role was sssooooo 'supporting' that it might have been rendered useless....the movie could have done without two of its girls, so....it didn't sit quite so well with me.
(I've never watched the series either)
