Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda reunited together in the adaptation of popular HBO series "Sex and the City".
Sex and the City, is a comedy film adaptation of the HBO series Sex and the City. The event in this film is set four years after the event of the final episode of Sex and the City series. This film is directed by Michael Patrick King who also brought you the series. This film is about four friends, Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Samantha (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte (Kristin Davis), and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) who live their lives in Manhattan, and they have to survive and get used to the life after marriage. Besides that, this film also about friendship, love, fashion and of course it is about "sex". If you watch the series before, then you'll know that the one who not yet getting married is Carrie (I'm not sure b'cos I not yet watch the series), and the whole film is more focus about her. First of all, the story is great and very touching. But some how this film won't give you much of the excitement. The reason is because the film is too long actually, 2 hour and 25 minutes. It's just because Miranda saying a little wrong sentences and a wrong action took by a little girl, this film drag until 2 hour 25 minutes long, and in 2 hour 25 minutes running time, you just laugh for a few part and cry at the last part (For some audiences). Honestly, I personally like the first half of the film instead of second half. If this movie break into two part, I'll give the first half 3 out of 4 stars and 1.5 out of 4 stars for the second half. The first half is great, and I pretty like the beginning of the film. It explains "What are the girls searching for in New York City". It also shows a lot about the latest fashion and there will be a flash back which explain the story of the series before this film, and the girls look gorgeous. I like the cloth Carrie wearing in the opening scene which have a big flower attached it. It has a lot of fun in the first half. For the second half, about 1 hour of running time, there will be a lot of unnecessary talking talking and talking including some scene which I think is lame, and there is a few of jokes. It makes the second half feels abit dull and boring. Maybe there are audiences who think it is necessary, but I personally think it's wasting time. The second half is hard to get the audiences reach the high gears except the sex scene of course, and of course there will be a predictable ending but still very very touching. The acting is great, four of them done a great job in this film. They have a great expressions and great chemistry which create a great mood to the audiences, when you see it you can feel what they feel. Even though I didn't watch the series, but still I think this movie is quite entertaining and maybe will thrill the fans of the series.
