Positive Aspects of SEX AND THE CITY (2008)
“Sex and the City” is a surprisingly fresh and unique romantic comedy it works so well because of its strong character and quirky delivery which breaks it away from your stock-standard formulaic films in this genre. The film begins very slickly with a funky soundtrack and smart editing to introduce the four lead girls for the benefit of any one who hasn’t seen the TV show, and for the most part this emphasis on slick, sassy, funny and unique qualities is maintained throughout the film.
Aside from a dull half hour in the middle, the film is not boring, and manages to engross you in the lives of these four women as they go in search for love in the Big Apple. Although Carrie (Parker) is the lead, all four girls manage to get solid storylines, even Charlotte (Davis) who I didn’t particularly like in the TV show for her princess like qualities but manages to be funny and endearing in this film.
Miranda (Nixon) probably has the most dramatic storyline as she deals with her husband’s infidelity (even better than the drawcard of Mr Big’s and Carrie’s wedding). Samantha (Cattrall) is absolutely hilarious in this film in her quest to satisfy her sex-starved cravings, and even Mr Big (Noth) lends a certain gravity to the piece as the only real major male character in the film. Carrie (Parker) is okay, but then I never really liked her character that much, even from the TV show, so I couldn’t really sympathise with her plight. Overall, fans of the show will absolutely love this film, and even non-fans might be surprised that it’s decent entertainment.
