Let it Rock,Let it roll

I may be condemed for saying this, but the movie was horrible. I am a huge fan of the tv series, was a follower from the very first epsiode, and never missed an episode. But the movie...not-so-much! I was devastated when I saw the movie. The movie had no structure at all and there was too much product placement in it for me. I felt like I was watching the superbowl commercials. 

Be that as it may, I am glad that this movie had a leading cast of women, and proved that women can put up high box office numbers, which is a good thing.  I will always support that.

I believe in giving second chances.  Hopefully, they will get it right the second time around.

I loved the tv series, but not the film. The film was a waste of money, even though it was obviously made in order to cash in on the success of the tv show and its fan base. 

I won't go to the cinema to watch this follow up but will just watch it on DVD instead.  

i'm glad carrie wont have a baby

 And I know its a recession, but does everything have to reflect that?  bring on the manolos

SITC is probably one of my all-time favorite shows. I remember watching it from the very first show on HBO, and because I had such cheap friends, no one ever knew what the hell I was talking about when I would ask them about it. But there was just something about the way these four women were such loyal friends through thick and thin that was so fascinating to watch. Even though I'm no girly girl fashionista, you would have to be blind not to appreciate these ladies in their heels. Also the writing was just plain funny, genuine, and most of all, sincere. 

It was not just about the laughs, although there were plenty of those, nor was it just about the sex scenes, although there were plenty of those as well - no - the show had a soul. It didn't try to be some melodramatic tear jerker or an all female version of "Friends". The thing that separated SITC from the pack, and thus solidified its place in television history, was the fact that for the first time, the female characters were the story. Sure they had relationships, and were always on the hunt for the perfect mate, but the truth was, their friendship was the story. The male characters came and went, some times they stayed longer then most, e.g. Big and Steve. But the central theme was female companionship and female relationships. Not to mention the fact, that these ladies were attractive to look at. Each had their own little personality that only added to their cute quotient. It is for these reasons alone that I don't understand why more lesbians weren't fans of the show. 

Yes you could argue that the entire show centered around the pursuit of a "male" relationship. But I would argue that if you really watch the show, and follow the story lines, you will quickly realize, the real central point of the show is the woman themselves, and how they deal with all of life's complexities.

Was the film version as great as the series? No. How could it be? Television is television, and film is film. Name one big-screen movie that truly lived up to its television predecessor? There is no way you can translate all of the intricate little qualities that made the series so great, into a 2 hour film. It's just not possible.

Was the film decent? Yes. Definitely better then the usual female-driven romantic comedy released in recent memory. "Bride Wars" anyone??? As for the second film, as long as it stays true to the television versions of the characters, it shouldn't suck. The fact that Carrie supposedly isn't having a baby is great news. Fans of the series know she would choose love over a child, if she had to that is...

Either way, any show/film depicting women as more then sexual objects for ANY sex, is A okay with me. Can't wait till SITC 2.

PS - I have to second the previous observation with regards to Jennifer Hudson's performance. I wanted to love her sooo much! But either her lines sucked, or it really was her acting. Sigh. Maybe she should stick to singing......
