Film review - Sex and the City (2008)

Sex and the City (2008)

It's entertaining -- that's for sure. I don't regret having spent 150 minutes of my life on these four women, laughing with them, crying with them (oh, yeah, three times at least), and feeling for them. (For what it's worth, I've spent much more hours watching the show, so what the heck do I have to worry about these 150 minutes.) Relationships are complicated, and marriages are... still a bit unthinkable to me. I guess the movie is trying to make the point, but in the end still safely lands on a perfect ending. Nobody dies. Nobody loses. Everyone gets what they want. Oh, of course, I almost forgot these are people who buy $525 shoes, $60,000 rings, or fancy apartments in Manhattan. Of course if they have all these things, they're bound to find happiness (no matter in men, Dior, botox, or themselves). That's not a new concept, is it?
