So I had the pleasure of going to a pre-screening of the new Sex and the City movie last night (don't worry I won't spoil the plot)...the night was actually pretty fantastic~Billings Bridge and Starfish Events know how to put on a good show...a lot of excited ladies all dolled up, a lot of chocolate and other goodies...and as I mentioned previously I got to play 'photographer' for the night so that was also fun (see some of my photos below)...the movie...well...Let me just say, I am a HUGE Sex and the City fan~and I'm talking HUGE...it was basically the only thing (along with Hershey chocolate) that basically got me through my first 4 months of living in Asia, so I owe a lot to the show...this latest movie however, supremely lacking...in keeping with my promise of not giving anything away, I have to say that the plot is weak (and I mean SUPER weak) and leaves much to be desired, the characters over-exaggerated (specifically Samantha-if you can even imagine it!), the dialogue highly scripted and campy, the wardrobe changes excessive (and hey let me just say-a girl gotta love a wardrobe change but when the plot relies on them-well let's just say it is both obvious and tedious...) Plus, I hate to say it but if I was Middle Eastern I would be severely offended by the cultural representations-I am not surprised that Abu Dhabi and Dubai refused to let the movie be filmed in their respective nations...sigh...I must admit, this one was a pretty big disappointment for me...I may need to see it again, just to make sure :-)
