Sex and the City - The Movie [Blu-ray]

     As light and frothy as the Vivienne Westwood wedding gown that's an unofficial fifth star, the film version of Sex and the City is both captivatingly stylish and sweetly sentimental. Viewers who loved hanging with Carrie Bradshaw and her three pals during the series' TV run will feel as though no time has passed. Except that it has: Carrie and Big are poised to make a Big Commitment; Miranda and Steve are facing the breakup of their wonderful family; Charlotte and Harry have added to their brood; and Samantha (are we sitting down?) has been devoted to hunky Smith for five full years. Still, in all that time, the women's style, conviviality, and appetite for bons mots have only grown. When practical attorney Miranda learns that Carrie is considering moving in with Big (in possibly the coolest apartment in Manhattan), she can't help but frown in that but-you-might-lose-everything way. Carrie's retort: "For once, can't you feel what I want you to feel--jealous?!" The cast is spot-on, as always. Sarah Jessica Parker is effortless as the angst-ridden yet practical, stylish yet vulnerable Carrie. Kim Cattrall is deliciously decadent as Samantha, but she's wiser now and knows herself and her needs for a real relationship. Kristin Davis, as Charlotte, has quietly become the most gorgeous among the beauties, her sleek presence both winsome and sophisticated. And Cynthia Nixon (Miranda) shows nuance as a woman torn between betrayal and grudging hope. Supporting roles include Candice Bergen as the Vogue editor who anoints Carrie "The Last Single Girl in New York," and Jennifer Hudson, as a starry-eyed, ambitious romantic who represents the new generation of SATC women. Through it all, New York is a benevolent cocoon that envelopes and nurtures the women and their friendships and careers. No matter that none of them appears to have any semblance of "real" family; as long as they have each other, and Manhattan, all will be right with their world.

Comment:
    I saw the movie when it came first came out and was very pleased with it. I'm a fan of the cable show and I was not disappointed in the movie. I purchased the DVD for my lady friend who is 78 yrs old. She's been enjoying watching Gilles Marini on Dancing with the Stars and has asked me several times, who he is. What better way to show her who is is? Literally! I just hope she doesn't get a heart attack after watching it!I've watched this twice now, the first time I didn't like it as much and then I watched it again and it was very funny, the girls have great love for each other. The sex scenes are tasteful and very enjoying. I loved this movie. It was touching to the heart. Learning to forgive someone if you really love them. It was a learning experience for me. Who ever get this movie will not be disappointed.This is a great movie and good format in Blu-Ray. Loved the free digital copy! We do not subscribe to HBO, so I never saw the TV series until it came on TBS last year (2008). I got hooked to the series and enjoyed the movie. This is definitely a "Woman's Movie" or one for a man who wants to understand women better ( the basic nature of a woman.) This movie is not for anyone under the age of 17 because of the language and nudity. I do hope they make a sequel to the movie.
