Those big apple whores with the hearts of gold

So Sex and the City was pretty darn great. Let me set up this review with some background on the show in reguards to myself. I never watched it on HBO. I've only seen probably 5 full episodes front to back, and none were in any sort of chronological order. I have no predisposition to which lady should or shouldn't be with any certain guy. I don't have all the knowledge of the ladies pasts, breakups and back stories and such and so forth. And still, i loved sex and the city.
The evening started with Alex, Aless and a couple other fine ladies meeting up at bubba gump shrimp, lol, for some food and conversation. We started with talking about the most akward "sex" moments and someone who shall remain nameless for protection (it's not me) was once dropped on her head!!! AAHHH! I couldn't stop laughing at all the stories.
That was the perfect precurser to the film itself, which is all about the drama, the laughes, the city, and yes the sex. Actually, this film was very tame in the reguards to the latter, more so than the show itself even. No matter, the film is too busy setting up several plotlines insuring each lady thier own time to shine. The acting was all top notch, and everyone is faced with questions that had even the audience we were with polarized. How far does forgiveness go? what DO you forgive? How much of a relationship is "you" and how much of it is the time and effort you spend on the other person? All these questions and more are dealt with in the 2 hour and 47 minute movie which breezes by like an hour and a half. It covers a years time, and probably a seasons worth of material.
It's the kind of movie you watch when your sick in bed all day, and need a cheer me up. It's in the same category as "Love Actually" or "Mean Girls" or "sleepless in seattle." But not "The Notebook" because that movie sucked so hard i can't fathom why anyone likes it. But i digress, Sex and the City is comfort food made to perfection for what it is. I liked it. It made me think, and it got Aless to cry. Well, not cry, but she most def. got a little faclempt at several points (the brooklyn Bridge meeting for example) of course she'll never admit any of that. But if it can get aless to do that, then it's a keeper.
