Sex and the City (2008)
The movie version of Sex and the City, written and directed by Michael Patrick King is 2 hours and 22 minutes of the usual SATC stuff- love, tears, fashion, depression, lavish vacation, good sex, bad sex,etc.
The movie picks up where the TV show left off. Although it seems like yesterday when the plug was pulled, the foursome is now a wised-up group of fortysomethings facing life on the other side of the adult divide.
Yes, Carrie and Big decide to tie the knot soon enough. They're inspired after they find a Fifth Avenue apartment, described with acute understatement as ''real estate heaven'' (and that's before Big builds Carrie a walk-in closet ).
Of course, Carrie is all set to have a princess wedding. She is featured in a whipped-frosting Vivienne Westwood dress in Vogue (Candice Bergen as her editor: "Forty is the last age a woman can be photographed in a wedding dress without the unintended Diane Arbus subtext"), and the ceremony is scheduled to unfold, in funky old-world style, at the New York Public Library. Then something very Big happens — not a cookie-cutter mishap, but a fluky, nervous, all-too-believable screwup that metastasizes into disaster.
