Oh yes, the much anticipated TV show now turned film “Sex and the City: The Movie” (SATC) is coming to theaters nationwide May 30. Get the Cosmos, Magnolia Cupcakes and Manolos ready! Everyone from not just the ladies, but men, elderly, you name it - are dying to know what the film entails. After four years since the end of its TV run on HBO, SATC brings back the four girls Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Samantha (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte (Kristen Davis) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) right back to where they last left off. For most people it’s hard to pull off a TV show then jump right to a film, but the writer Michael Patrick King displays his skills all so cleverly from his incredible storylines to his memorable one-liners. Sarah Jessica Parker not only plays the protagonist but also wears the producer’s hat in SATC which she mentions in her interview with the website Latino Review as not the easiest thing to juggle at the same time.

Carrie narrating: “I guess in certain houses…fairy tales do come true.”

SATC takes places in New York City, modern day. From the show to the movie it’s about four women who if I said were fashionable is understatement, who do an interesting rendition of a Chinese juggler, all while trying to keep together the men/sex in their lives, relationships and how all those things get tangled all together (sometimes it can be messy and sometimes fun untangling it all.) The film spins off pretty much where the show ended in 2004, but fast forward fours years later. Carrie (the central figure) who is the fashion addicted writer living in Upper East Side New York City with her cynical humor. But if there was ever one more wry is Miranda, who plays an attorney, mother & wife; settled in Brooklyn with her husband Steve (David Eisenberg) where she experiences the heaviness of daily life. Miss Park Ave herself, Charlotte, is married to Harry (Evan Handler) and they share a big apartment where she gets to share her love for her family and her daughter Lily. Samantha the sex driven publicist is now finding her self sex driven with one person Smith (Jason Lewis) living in Los Angeles and feeling out of the loop from her friends.

A new added character is Louise (Jennifer Hudson) who plays the sweet and very refreshing assistant to Carrie. Louise saves Carrie not just from her disorganization skills but her messes in other places too. Coming back from the original show is Anthony Marentino (Mario Cantone), the gay friend and original wedding planner to Charlotte and Stanford Blatch (Willie Garson) who plays the outlandish gay talent agent.

SATC is like a cocktail of sex, fashion, life moments and humor all into one glass (that’s a big gulp). It took from what they were in the show originally, all single, to now finding themselves in their current love situations. And as the show did so well it has them asking themselves the age old questions about life. It’s also brings back one of the smoothest characters Mr. Big aka John James Preston (Chris Noth) who plays Carrie’s get ready for this: fiancé! Mr. Big was the character that women swooned over and the men thought of well heck I would be the same way. He too always dressed in sharp suits and had a witty line for everything. However in trailing their lives in a NYC minute, what does the film really bring? It brings some of most decked out looking women I have ever seen. Sex; it will leave you thinking have I tried that before or seen that? It has how friends evolve and their support for each other. Love, all kinds of situations that we, you, or anyone has been or knows someone who been through it. Most of all it’s New York! New York is like this unspoken character itself which lies silently as backdrop in the whole story. This film will do famously because it hits pivotal messages that anyone can understand. Plus it’s glamorous.

Everyone’s asking does someone die? Does Mr. Big finally propose to Carrie? Does the sexpot Samantha cheat or stay faithful? Well let’s just say this; there’s a lot of “oh my God” and “Noooo” moments. It’s like a novela and the original show just much more impacted.

I assure you as with any good cocktail, great sex or good pair shoes SATC will leave you talking about it for quite sometime.
