The four women at the center of "Sex and the City" are bright, attractive, and very witty, but they're also older and more grown up than they were in the six year long series on HBO. Sarah Jessica Parker is the heart of the movie as Carrie, now a successful New York author about to be married to Chris Noth as Mr. Big. Needless to say, there will be complications for Carrie and for all of her friends as well. The red haired Cynthia Nixon is Miranda, a workaholic lawyer whose marriage is in trouble. Kristin Davis is Charlotte, a married Park Avenue neurotic with an adopted daughter. And Kim Cattrell is the lecherous Samantha, who now lives with her boyfriend in Malibu but makes frequent trips to Manhattan. The movie has lots of witty banter--clever one liners were a staple of the show as well. But what surprised me is the amount of heartache and pain that's essential to this story of relationships that don't follow fairy tale scripts. The characters still love high fashion and having fun, but now that they are older and just a little wiser, Jennifer Hudson represents the young women they once were. she plays Carrie's assistant, Louise. "Enjoy yourself." Carrie tells Louise as they sit at a bar. "That's what your twenties are for. Your thirties are to learn the lessons. Your forties are to pay for the drinks." "Well, in that case," Louise replies, I'll take another one." "Sex and the City" is a smart comedy-drama about the importance of friendship and love.              |
