Little Girl in the Big City

Millions of girls from 14 to 30 growing up within the last decade have giggled, screamed, and gasped along with the love, life, and relationship drama in the TV series Sex and the City. Over its six-season span, the show won seven Emmys and gained national acclaim for its frank discussion of modern female sexuality. And TONIGHT, Sex and the City (the movie) makes its international debut in London.

Fans haven't heard from Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, and Samantha since 2004 with the finale of Season Six...so its highly anticipated!
There appears to be a considerable amount of blogger apprehension about the amount of movie plot that's revealed in the trailer:

Carrie is left at the alter, Miranda's husband is a cheater, Charlotte buys an Asian baby AND gets knocked up....what is there left to surprise us with? Personally, having seen every episode ever made, I think the show was always a little predictable. Its warmth, love, and personality comes not with unexpected twists and plot devices, but with its honesty and continual theme of true friendship...no matter what. Fans watch the show not necessarily to discover what's at the end (unlike Lost...grrrr) but for the good times, fabulous/outlandish outfits and emotional moments that come in between. OR just to feel better about our lives - at least we're not THAT crazy/slutty.

Admittedly, no one said the show had that much depth. But it's cleverly written, funny, honest, and highly relatable for many women. I can't count the number of hours I've spent curled up in front of the TV with my best friend, one tub of Ben and Jerry's, and two spoons to blow through an entire season of Sex and the City in a night.

For all you women (and men) that can relate, Sex and the City the Movie comes on in the U.S. on May 30. Enjoy!
