Um, I saw Avatar under duress only and wore jeans. 🙂

I don’t go to the movies often, so I guess that’s partially why the added drama… or maybe that’s just me. The silly thing is (SATC aside), I don’t get actually dressed up. I just try to pull something from my closet that’s fitting. (Can’t have your readers thinking I wore a bustier and long, flowing dress to Robin Hood.)

Thanks for your realistic and fun review. I saw the movie today and had a thoroughly enjoyable time. I’m not big into fashion, but I loved seeing all the crazy clothes, and yes the real estate porn was wonderful, as was the Australian rugby team. Plus having been to Morocco twice in the last few years I wanted to see those scenes. But best of all for me was seeing our 4 stars dealing with regular problems with grace and their continuing friendship. No this isn’t an Academy Award-quality film, but it’s not pretending to be and it’s just what I needed to kick-start my excitement for the summer movie season.

Oh, that's awesome! Wish I could go to a Bond film with you so I can see your sleek, sexy outfit. Your Maid Marian ensemble must have been lovely, too. What do you wear to something like Avatar or The Hurt Locker?

I was disappointed by the first one for a number of reasons but mostly because Samantha barely had any screen time. I’m glad to know it’s more balanced this time.

For the first, my group of gal pals got all dolled up and went to see it and are planning on doing that again. It’s funny, but whenever I go see a movie, I feel like I have to dress according to what I’m watching. (This is something I cannot believe I am admitting). I went and saw Robin Hood and wanted to look girly but old world because of Lady Marian. If I see something like James Bond (which, please hurry up with that one), I want to look sleek and sexy. I know. I’m a dork. 🙂

Joy---Go! And enjoy! Lainie---Haha! I didn't notice the bad lighting. Dude in Jeep (Max Ryan) was indeed hot but Aidan's never done anything for me. When are you coming out to visit?!! Shell---Oh, why did you have to say "deep-fried"? You know what that makes me think of! Paulette---There's no dress comparable to that one you mentioned, but Carrie's got a couple nightgowns that I would wear to a black-tie affair. Ybnorml---Your girls' night out sounds like great fun! I saw groups of dressed-up women at the theater I went to, one even had on a fancy head scarf. They all looked so glam (I was wearing khakis and Chucks, oops). I agree about that line being the funniest! EIREGO---You are an enlightened man, not just for seeing this movie but also enjoying it. Your wife is lucky.

Yeah, I was dragged to it by my wife, but I did chuckle. I have read the other reviews that slammed it and I am scratching my head. Yeah, these ladies are ridiculously extravagant, but weren’t they always?

I’m not saying I would have gone on my own or with some buddies, but I did laugh and that’s more than I can say for most movies currently playing.

Thanks, PCN, for keeping it real.

I went to see this last night with 6 girlfriends after we celebrated our girl’s night out with way too much good food and several rounds of martinis (mine were cosmos with blueberries on the bottom – hey red, white and blue, it’s Memorial Day weekend after all!) Had a wonderful time before and really had fun at the movie. Was it over the top. Of course! What could be better than 2 hours of furniture and fashion porn, assorted great looking men and Chris Noth and John Corbett – uh yum!

Funniest moment in the movie…when Charlotte confesses to Miranda that the first thought that went through her head when it was insinuated that her husband had a thing for the nanny…”I can’t lose the nanny!!” The mom’s in my group of rowdy friends were high fiving that comment.

I highly recommend you join a few girlfriends and enjoy the movie. Is it a cinematic masterpiece? Hell no, but it’s an enjoyable way to spend 2 hours with friends. And with the brownies and chocolate covered strawberries we had after the movie, it’s a movie I’ll always associate with laughter and friendship. Husbands are great, but girlfriends are forever!

I will go to see it and not apologize for enjoying…..”Furniture and fashion porn.” You are a great writer, Elyse. I am looking forward to the over-the-top fashion and hope to see something that takes my breath away like the dress Carrie was wearing on the bed in Paris final season.

That’s excellent, as I don’t want to fry any more brain cells than I absolutely must. And those I do lose will be shallow-fried as opposed to deep-fried. A visual feast is about all I was expecting, so anything else will be a bonus. Thanks as always, PCN!

I just came back from the film and was so happy to read your review.

Aside from a few over the top scenes (Samantha’s a bit old at this point to be so blatantly pornographic), some very bad, aging lighting and at times too much make up, it was thoroughly entertaining.

I felt the first 20 minutes were pushed. I felt this way in the 1st one too, but in time they all seemed to relax into their characters.

My girlfriend and I laughed out loud several times, as did everyone else.

How hot was that guy in the jeep and wow, did Aidan look great!

Miss you Elyse!!!
