Simple, flawed and at times interesting - but the show rules — 1 year ago

As I’ve watched every episode in the series, I was quite hungry to see how this one would make the transition from TV to the cinema. The answer to your question? It did, although flawed. As Carrie and her three compadrinas continue four years after the point where the TV-show ended, I thought of two things: the film started off generally better than the last season of the show, and whoa, this film is almost as much a big commercial for certain designers as I, Robot helped to sell everything from stereos to TV’s. Apart from that, the story circles Carrie, the central character from the show, and at times her friends. As the film is supposed to be a super-sized version of the show, it contains twists that the HBO-format never contained, as well as having everything sex turned way down. All in all, the story is quite thin and at times makes me think the writer/director of this piece should have made room for more input. Still, I don’t think the planned theatrica follow-up will do this film any justice. What cards are left to be played? Charlotte having a child? Will the girls get political? Methinks HBO will have more in store for all of us, rather than more SATC-films.
