Hey, fuck you, all right.

Sex and the City - 6/10. Man! It was like FIVE episodes! I didn't bring enough alcohol to support the two and a half hours. It's a fashion show of a movie. It's flighty and fun and as vapid as the show ever was, but it's worthwhile when they're focused on their relationships. Like the show, the movie only crackles when Big's around, and it nosedives when he takes a smoke break. Jennifer Hudson is useless. The closest the movie comes to being about something is the idea that you don't need to be married to be in a relationship, which the entire show's existence seems to revolve around - four friends whose bond with each other only extends to them just liking each other a lot - but it screws it up in the end by marrying the two off. Way to go. You were almost about something. Otherwise, it's simply a more fitting end than the last episode actually was.
