So far, everyone we know has loved the SATC movie. They, and indeed we, have laughed, cried and rejoiced at the couldn’t-help-but-wonderfulness of it all. However, one of the most important newspapers in the whole wide world has slated the movie – shocker! The New York Times said in today’s scathing review, “A little Botox goes a long way in Sex And The City, but a little decent writing would have gone even further," adding that the movie "is the pits, a vulgar, shrill, deeply shallow – and, at 2 hours and 22 turgid minutes, overlong – addendum to a show that had, over the years, evolved and expanded in surprising ways. There are no surprises in the movie, at least not good ones.” And it doesn’t stop there: “There is something depressingly stunted about this movie; something desperate too. It isn’t that Carrie has grown older or overly familiar. It’s that awash in materialism and narcissism, a cloth flower pinned to her dress where cool chicks wear their Obama buttons, this It Girl has become totally Ick.” Yikes! Still, given that tickets to the movie are selling at an alarming rate (and many people are going to see it two, three, ten times, rather than just once!) we don’t think SJP and friends should lose any sleep…
SATC gets a bad review
