My sister's heartache - aka Sex and the City the Movie!

I totally know my sister is going to be depressed....but...Sex and the City the movie is getting piss poor reviews.

She loves this series...and if I recall correctly she has all the DVDs from every season...and has been waiting for this movie....

Dan Collins at Protein Wisdom quoted this execrpt:

They didn’t really know what they wanted - career or husband, baby or Balenciaga bag? - but what they didn’t want was to turn out like their mothers.

And while straight men universally hated SATC (they professed to find Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw repellent, while in reality being unable to cope with her straight-talking prickliness), women - pretty much all women - loved it.

We loved the fact that Carrie dressed for herself and not for men. We loved that the women had far more fun with each other than they did on any date, and we loved that Carrie and co made it OK to be frivolous and girly while out to get what they wanted (a diamond ring, a Fifth Avenue apartment, a best-seller, an orgasm) with the singleminded focus of a heat-seeking missile.

OUCH..that's gonna leave a mark! Dan sums up the review with one statement:  Verdict: not self-involved enough.
