SATC is my favorite EVER TV Show. I have seen every episode so many times, have the shoebox box set of the whole series. So when they announced that the movie was going to made. I was so happy about it, I even went to see it twice in the cinema when it first came out last year. Then when I went to NYC last year I was in heaven in the HBO shop buying lots of SATC merchandise.
While yes it is not the best movie ever made, in that sense. It is a very good movie for SATC fans, I don’t really expect anyone who wasn’t a big fan and I just a movie fan who went to see this actually like it as you have to care about the characters and already love them to really appreciate this movie. But to be able to see Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, Samantha and Big on the big screen was just fantastic. Yes I did pre-order the 2 disc DVD as soon as that was possible and received the movie 2 days before the release date thanks to play.com
The main storyline in this movie was Carrie and Big eventually deciding to get married after 10 years of the on-off Carrie/Big relationship which we never knew how it was going to end in the TV show. Of course she could not have stayed with the Russian in Paris, so it was Mr Big to the rescue to take Carrie back to where she belonged in New York.
The movie started with Carrie going to meet Big to have a look around an apartment (which we are lead to believe they had been doing since we left them at the end of the tv show). They end up looking at the penthouse, which Big says he will buy. Carrie then has to make a decision about her apartment, but while she is deciding this, they decide to get married, if that is what she wants.
It always did seem really tricky and like Big would not turn up to the wedding; at the last second he changes his mind to go back when he realizes that he is making a mistake. But it was too late by then Carrie had already started to leave. When the cars they are both in stop in a street, they get out and she totally freaks out on him, and charlottes face is just priceless.
Having watched the movie quite a few times now I still love it a lot, but as I said earlier it is not the best movie ever but because I was such a fan of the TV I cannot help but love the movie. The SATC little geek that I have become over the years. I cannot wait for the second big screen outting and quite curious what they are going to do with the girls next.
