Sex and the City Movie!


Last night I was feeling a little blue that I wasn't going to be able to see the Sex and the City Movie. I was looking forward to seeing it for months. I even had a viewing marathon of all the seasons in the prior weeks so that I would remember all the little details I'd forgotten over the 4 year wait. But as fate would have it my plans for seeing it with friends fell through thanks to online ticket purchasing. Last night every theater where you could buy tickets online was sold out. We should have planned ahead but we didn't so there I was stuck with no place to go...

Then a miracle happened! My mother who is often very forgetful remembered yesterday that it was the premier of the movie. And believe it or not she wanted to see it. I guess she did watch almost all the episodes of Sex and the City while I was watching them so it got her in the mood. But wait! Aren't all the theaters sold out? Well it was a long shot but we tried the theater in East Brooklyn that we frequent because usually all the movies we like are usually not that full because the movie goers of East Brooklyn aren't really into them.

And as predicted there were seats available! I guess we were really lucky that since it's East Brooklyn they haven't crossed over to the online ticket purchasing yet. We sat in great seats and couldn't wait for the movie to start. Both of us were a little apprehensive about the movie because we read or heard so many mixed reviews about the movie. I mean someone bashed the movie on the front page of a highly circulated newspaper!

But we were fans and were determined to like it at least for closure's sake.

We were not disappointed! It was a great movie, a little long yes but a great movie adaptation of the series. We laughed and cried tears of joy and sorrow and in the end we wanted more. Yes the story line was typical but it had the magic of the series and any true fan would enjoy it.

And this morning as I was watching the E! True Hollywood Story of the women of Sex and the City I got the best piece of gossip that there are plans for another movie. Anyone who watched the movie can probably guess where the story line will go but that doesn't mean that we won't want to watch it.
