I am sad that Ms. Dargis regarded the STC movie as "a waste of time to sit through". I believe people such as Ms. Dargis take themselves too seriously I realize it is her career to review movies, but she is seriously missing the simplistic reality of it, it was just plain "FUN".
I went not stressing whether I would love the plot, or be on the edge of my seat. My desire was to soak in the "girl's", the fashion, the humor, BIG and the whole ensemble. With the state of our economy, life, etc..I was looking to be just plain entertained & it delivered. Sure, I wish there would of been more of Carrie's quick wit, Samantha's sexual prowness, but it was okay. I got my $'s worth & it was faulous to see them all once again. I enjoyed the fact that groups of women everywhere got together to attend the movie. My daughter's gal pal's dressed as their favorite characer to attend. My husband went to the movie with me and there were many other men filling seats, the one in front of me was there alone! Bravo!
Please realize Ms. Dargis that the movie is more, much more, to so many of us. I got a few hours to forget that my mom has metastatic CA, or the fact that I cannot even land a job interview, let alone a job (I'm over 50), and I have two son's to help support in college. For 2.5 hr.'s I was taken away!
And yes, I will have seperation anxiety all over again missing my four favorite females (oh yes, & BIG).
Sad..............
