The Cosmos Are Back And Flowing: Drink Up! Labels, Love, and Laughter are just a few of the elements that make this film a fabulous and instant phenomenon. The bottom line is, "Sex And The City" was and continues to be a thriving cult hit that has fans and newcomers raving about with excitement.
I've already seen the movie twice, obviously I was there front and center opening night cheering as the updated theme song began blasting from the speakers. There had been so much anticipation and advertising for this film that upon its arrival it was no surprise that tickets were unavailable. It's Bryant Park's Fashion Week on an insane amount of drugs. The opening was an incredible party!
The fab-four return looking just as glamorous as when we last saw them five years ago. As if that wasn't enough to appeal to audiences around the world, the beauties were once again joined by Chris Noth, David Eigenberg, Evan Handler, Jason Lewis, Mario Cantone, and Willie Garson. Definitely one of the most appealing ensemble casts of 2008.
However, we all know that in the end, the success of "SATC" rests solely on Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie. She is of course the ring leader, which means as per usual that she is not just narrating the story but guiding us through the plot as well. Parker is back to playing the role of her career, and we all agree she couldn't be better. She’s sassy and sexy and in my book that’s quite a package.
I do give my darling Kim Cattrall an abundance of credit for her never-ending flawless portrayal of vixen Samantha Jones; the colorful PR executive who always seems to have the greatest lines and down right hilarious situations. Cattrall who had officially permitted her true age to be written into the film's story is an incredible triumph for women everywhere! Especially in today's world, Kim is nothing short of a pioneer in my eyes. While most women are covering up about a decade before the big 5-0, there she is stripping down for us as if time has stood still. Kim and her on-screen persona Samantha are the hottest fucking 50-year-olds around, and if I weren't a gay man well... lets just leave it at that.
Kristin Davis' good-girl portrayal of the Episcopalian princess turned "reproductively challenged" Jewess had fans laughing and crying immensely. Charlotte is pregnant throughout most of the film, and seems to take the role as the comic relief in a variety of the movie's dramatic and emotional scenes. Those who have seen the film know exactly what I mean when I say it's all in the eyes. Kristin has these devilish undertones to her eyes that come out at just the right moments. The little girl who plays her daughter Lily is a gem and such a perfect fit for her and loving husband Harry. Truly a dream come true for the "eternal optimist" we know as Charlotte York Goldenblatt.
Props must be given to the outrageously talented writer/director Michael Patrick King for introducing us to Carrie's personal assistant "Louise from St. Louis." Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson who joined Carrie & Co. a mere ten days ago gives a fun and fresh feel to the "SATC" legacy. Absolutely hilarious with her stint on renting designer bags, I saw that scene and was like I have to get in on that for sure! Hudson's character brings us back to the birth of the show with her naive and inexperienced outlook on love, proving that no matter how much time passes there will always be a new generation in need of the gals from "Sex and the City."
So when can we expect the sequel?... Well as Carrie said "Stay Tuned."
