SATC 2

So I tried to organize a girls' night to go see the new Sex and the City movie. Unfortunately, all but one person who got invited were unable to come. (I felt especially bad for my friend Jane whose daughter got hit in the head with a Nerf gun at a slumber party.) Oh well, Ame and I had fun at least.

On to the movie. Much like I said in my review of Prince of Persia, the plot was quite thin. Carrie is feeling bored in her marriage, Miranda's new boss is a tool, Charlotte's kids are a handful and her nanny is a little too pretty, and Samantha is still Samantha though she is going through menopause and taking 40 pills a day. Anyway, Samantha is invited to go to Abu Dhabi on a PR trip, and she invites all the girls to go with her.

The movie was actually shot in Morocco, but the scenes were beautiful. Of course the clothes are out of control, and we had to laugh at some of the ridiculous outfits. Here are some examples.





In case you haven't heard, there is also a flashback scene. I would suggest that those scenes might have been some of my favorites.


I only wish I could find pictures online of the wedding scene. Let's just say that SJP wears one of the most ridiculous accessories in this scene and Liza Minnelli is involved. Overall, it was a mediocre movie. Definitely don't pay full price, but if you want a fun day with the girls, it isn't a total waste. We went to get drinks afterward and had a great time talking about life and friends. All in all, it was a nice end to the holiday weekend.
