Sex and the City

Thanks to Amanda's initiative to buy tickets way in advance and her mother's forethought to head to the theatre early to reserve a row of seats, the Sex and the City premiere was fantastic. The movie theatre itself was completely overrun by hundreds of giddy women who haven't shared a common guilty pleasure like this since the wedding of Luke and Laura (1981, hello)...if you didn't know what caused the excitement, you may have confused the whole event for a Tampax convention.

For those of you who are fans of the show, or who have an ounce of estrogen in your body, the show does not disappoint. The fashion, the friends, and the hillarity are all perfect; so much so that for the first time in my entire life, I want to go see it again in the theatre.

In my mind, the only bad parts were Jennifer Hudson's horrible acting skills and Samantha's plotline....both a bit of a letdown, though the movie was still fantastic.

AND....

there is already talk of a sequel.

According to Hollywood.com:

HOLLYWOOD - The producers of the Sex and the City movie are so convinced it will be a hit, they have already begun planning for a sequel. The movie's star, Sarah Jessica Parker--who has been filming the big-screen version of the hit comedy in New York City for the past two months--is said to be eager to exercise the sequel option written into her contract, which stipulates she will reprise her role as Carrie Bradshaw should studio bosses plan a film follow-up.

An on-set source tells British newspaper The Mail on Sunday, "The producers are already working on a script for a second movie--they are so convinced the first will be a hit. They are exercising the sequel option in all of the stars' contracts. "They want it to be a franchise and think they can stretch it over at least three movies."

Please, please, please let it be true.
