Just came back from it and I loved it
I thought the movie trailer revealed WAYYY TOOOO much and thought it would ruin the movie, but it didn't.
I didn't shed tears but there were many times my eyes watered.
These two men sitting together shouted "SAMANTHAAAAA" before the movie started .. it was a hilarious and fun way to start the night
Everybody cheered when we heard the theme song (myself included, I was SOOO excited I couldn't contain myself)
- I loved the way they did a little recap of everybody, while including clips from the show.
- Carrie and Big. My mouth dropped a little when she actually called him "John" haha.. it was just so.. surreal, considering we've NEVER heard her call him by anything other than Big. I was so sad for her when he stood her up. The love letters in the end were sweet though (even though he didn't write them). He's definitely had some Botox done on his face though (anybody notice? His brows look different
.. same with Samantha - her face looked a bit pulled and tight)
Charlotte was hilarious! The Mexico scenes were AWESOME. The paranoia of Mexican
anything, the "stomach problems"
I loved her. She was truly the comic relief of the movie (which was strange because usually Samantha is, but I definitely laughed more with Charlotte) I felt the emotion when Carrie blasted out at Big with the flowers and Charlotte held her and was staring at Big with such
hatred. Because it's true, she had always rooted for Big, and off he went to prove her wrong again.
My heart melted and I felt SO happy for Charlotte when she had her baby. Not to forget about Lily of course, she was such a cutie. But I was so happy that Charlotte is living the life she always wanted. I love how Harry makes her so happy, and he loves her so much.
"I CURSE THE DAY YOU WERE BORN"
- GAHHH Steve and Miranda!!! I felt so conflicted. I LOVED them in the series, and it was so hard to see them go through that. I was angry at him for cheating on Miranda. I'm happy that they worked things out though because he
was really sorry and you could tell. BTW their love scene in the end was INSANELY steamy. I was blushing in the dark (and sitting next to an elderly lady
)
- Samantha and Smith! Throughout the movie my girl friend and I couldn't stop talking about how insanely GOOD her body looked (sushi scene!?) She looks FABULOUS. It puts me to shame, I'm 20 and her body looks 100x better than mine. It was sad to see her and Smith break up, but I'm glad they ended on good terms, and that she didn't cheat on him, and that in the end she listened to her heart and realized what she needed. It was nice to see that serious side of her.
And as always, the fashion was incredible.
- Wasn't a fan of Carrie's brown hair, I thought it made her face look too harsh and aged her much more. Other than that though, I LOVED her hair. I wish I had those waves and curls. Wasn't a fan of her wedding makeup either; I thought she looked a bit aged there too. It's amazing how she can look so young sometimes and her real age at others. Her body (and everybody else's) were AMAZING (save for Miranda's FOREST!
.. the two guys in the theater literally gagged out loud it was hilarious)
- When I first heard about Jennifer Hudson being casted I was not happy at all, but I actually didn't mind her in the film. She was genuine and likable and funny. Dare I say, I kind of liked her!
- It was so charming and happy to see Anthony and Stanford making amends (remember how much they hated each other in the series!) .. even funnier on New Year's
All in all, I'm so incredibly happy with this film. I had missed seeing the four of them together... they are such amazing friends to each other words can't even describe (the girls taking care of Carrie after being stood up, while in Mexico, Carrie walking all the way to Miranda's on New Year's).. ugh it brings tears to my eyes!! I watched the series finale earlier today before I watched the movie and I've
never been able to finish it with dry eyes.
I want to see the movie again already!!!
