A really long commercial

That's all Sex and the City is. I really can't be bothered to write about it, it was pretty fucking bad. It's rare that I'm so bored by a film that I decide to do something COMPLETELY different, I can normally stick by a film but this is awful.

The structure goes:
Problem 1
Solution 1
Problem 2
Solution 2
Problem 3
Solution 3
etc
etc
etc

Correct me if I'm wrong but that is EPISODES STUCK TOGETHER. That is what this film is. It's a mini SATC season, and by mini I mean 2H45 of episodes.

I did laugh a few times, the same as I do when I'm watching the show, which I will admit I enjoy. It's funny, and the characters, as cliché as they are, have good stories and good lines. Again, I'm getting at the film for it's structure, but for any SATC fan it must have been like a visit to Mecca. The stories and resolutions it poses are satisfactory additions to the stories that are only slightly resolved in the final season of the HBO show. It is just FAR TOO LONG. They have signed up for 3 movies, and this film could have and should have been at least two of them.

Some of the, for want of a better term, set pieces in the film are really good, particularly Samantha's life in LA and the trip to Mexico, but other than that it just feels like a really long episode, with nothing particularly out of the ordinary happening. It really didn't need to be a movie, as I said, it could have been another, albeit shorter, season, as it is 5/6 episodes worth of screen time in length. (They're 29 minutes not 22)

The main problem I have with the film is it's commercialism. There is a section at a photo shoot which is basically a list of people who's clothes you should own. The worst section is the 'here, use my phone' section where Carrie holds up an iPhone in the style of a advert, perfectly square on with the camera and the apple logo glowing in light. I may watch again and count how often a label is mentioned, as I imagine is ridiculous.

I'm going to agree with Empires philosophy, and it is a good film, if not far too long, but 'add a star if you're a fan of the show'
