How had I missed it? I'd seen most all of the Sex and the City episodes, thought the writing was excellent, could understand all the awards. Then, I was stopped cold. Carrie talks briefly--only a sentence or two--to an older man at Vogue. She tells him of her father--he left her and her mother when Carrie was 5 years old. Carrie never knew why he left, she never saw or heard from him again. And never had therapy either to work through the sadness, the loneliness, the questions that any five year old would ask...why was it my fault, the breeding ground of insecurity and difficulty with commitment. I had found something way way way bigger than Mr. Big. And, btw, how does a father look to a 5 year old who stares up at him? He looks, well, simply, "big." Yet, this was glossed over as if it was unimportant. I know wonder what lies in the past of the other three women. I suspect they are more bound than liberated.

My husband and several of my male friends enjoyed the movie. I think many men expect to dislike the movie, only to enjoy the insight into female bonds and the female perspective in relationships.

I've only seen a few episodes but I have fallen into the hype and will jump on the Sex and the City bandwagon long, and go see the movie. (Scared of the crazed fan rush, my friends and I have planned a night for this weekend.) "But the movie’s real strength lies in its ability to make you care not so much about the women and their relationships with men, but about the women and their relationships with each other." Well said, and I think that is what I like most about the show. One of my main reasons for wanting to see it because it is the perfect excuse to get the girls together. Thank you for giving a realistic review of the movie without adding to the hype of a super human movie and without trying to sway everyone into a SATC fanatic. Ironically, I'm even more curious to see it now! I will admit that I’m not a devout fan.
