My most anticipated movie is finally almost hitting the big screen...Sex & the City. A lot of people think this is a promiscuous show that only deals with sex, but if that were the truth, then it wouldn't be one of my (along with thousand and thousand of others) favorite shows.
The show is based on the personal and intimate life of four best friends; Charlotte (the beautiful, conservative, one with the long black hair, first from left), Carrie (main character with long, curly blond hair, second from the left), Samantha (the promiscuous, trisexual-as in try anything one, confident one, third from left), and finally, Miranda (the hardheaded, cynical lawyer with the short red hair, fourth from left).
Even though the four are best friends, they differentiate from each other monumentally. Carrie is a writer with her own column in a newspaper entitled Sex & the City. She is the narrator of the show, and we follow as she looks for the take-your-breath-away love that she believes is somewhere to be found. She goes through a few relationships, Mr. Big being her main love, and in each one, she (as well as the other characters) encounter relationship problems or circumstances that other shows never had the guts to show.
Charlotte is the hopeless romantic, waiting for Mr. Perfect, which to her means rich, handsome, and hailing from a good family. When she does find this exact man, the marriage fails tremendously, and she is surprised to find love where she least expected it, in a Jewish bald guy.
Miranda is a cynical, strong, independent woman, a lawyer, and a firm believer that she does not need a man in her life to be happy. Eventually she meets Steve, whom she has a child with and marries towards the end of the show.
Samantha is overtly sexual, and here is where we actually see all the "sex" that people think sex & the city is all about. However, she still encounters certain battles, such as actually falling in love (which can be surprising when you go from man to man), getting cheated on by him, getting and fighting against cancer, and finding Jared, who at first was only a sexual partner, but becomes someone that she can ultimately love and trust.
The show las
ted six seasons, and the season finale was one of the most watched in history. Sex & the City might have been really open about sex, but it also dealt with love, relationships, friendships, careers, life choices, getting older, loving someone, breaking up, and moving on with your life--which can be pretty hard and devastating, but not as bad if you have friends by your side.Sex & the City was truly a masterpiece in sit-com history, and now they've made the movie...to be released in the U.S on May 30th! You'll find me at the front of the line!
This is your chance to catch up on the show and watch all the episodes before the movie!

I can't wait to see the Sex and the City movie. One of things I love most about the show is that it shows you that sometimes girls can be just as bad as guys when it comes to sex. But most of all I love the different friendships that the characters have on the show. I truly believe that Sex and The City is one of the best television shows of all.
Sex and the city is my favorite Tv show. But I dont really know how I feel about the movie, when shows are good the movie usually ends up ruining the entire show. so far the trailer gives a very good impretion about the movie, but who knows what might end up happening.
