SATC is Big

Sex and the City the movie was released over a week ago and it took me until last night to see it. I'm not watching Episode 1, Season 1 and seeing Mr. Big for the first time because off and on for 2 hours last night just wasn't enough. I took the "Match Your Man" quiz on the movie website and got paired with Mr. Big though I may have chosen an answer or two that I knew would make the answer add up to him. Anyway, the movie is not about the fake relationship I've had with Big since I saw him a few years ago but about the girls, 3 years later and the guys they've kept around.

People say the movie is long but I thought it was fine. I mean when you're used to seeing 22 minute episodes of the show, 2.25 hours can seem long but a lot had to happen and based on the way it all ended up, there isn't much room for a sequel unless a great, great script came along.

If you were a fan of the show at all, it is a MUST SEE because all of the elements that made the show so special are there. The four women who were so loved for so long, the guys we wanted them with and the drama and humor that made them all so easy to relate to them. Everyone grew up but in an interesting way. The women were in their 30s (except for Samantha) and as someone a couple of years younger and nowhere near their success or general social levels I didn't realize they would be able to mature but they did. The screenwriters did a great job of developing all of the characters and the storylines were interesting though a little predictable. The entire film wasn't predicable but there were some parts. IT was good and consistent writing though because of how true they were to everyone.

If you aren't a fan of SATC, it might be time to start renting the DVDs and taking silly online quizzes about who you belong with or who you are most like. I wanted to be most like Carrie but it seems that I'm more like Miranda.

My favorite thing was the interaction between Big and Carrie, and the love letters. You'll have to see it to know what I mean but how lovely the notion of a love letter. "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways."

Get Carried Away.

PS: I finished Season 1 today abandoning the things I was supposed to do with the exception of going to dinner which I actually did. It is such a great show.
