Not a lot of LOVE for Sex and The City

The Sex and The City movie sucked. and why:

  • The product placement: Vitamin/Smart Water everywhere, a Smart car, that scary Richard Prince Louis Vuitton bag, Tostitos, Mercedes, Skyy vodka, ept pregnancy test... I'm missing about 75 more
  • Carrie's apartment after she redecorated was the scariest thing I'd ever seen. "LOVE" cut-outs, frames galore... like an old issue of Domino meets the coolest Teen Vogue dorm makeover EVER
  • If my assistant ever had a LOVE keychain (in cursive, no less) I'd never trust her to give me advice, build me a website, or allow her to look me in the eyes
  • It looks like The Girls got a little too dressed up for the sassy/90's looking fashion show. Amid ALL that product placement they couldn't find a single designer to lend their name & clothing for a real fashion show? I'm sure Middle-America would have DIED for a Tory Burch fashion show. Or even some dreadful Project Runway tie in would have worked
  • Samantha looked crazy dressing the way she did. Honey, you are OLD. Sequins stop looking "fun & flirty" after 35. 38 if it's New Year's Eve
  • the meatpacking district
Maybe it's because we live in new york. Or maybe because the actual show had so much heart and this movie had four years to become extremely mainstream. But the writing wasn't geared to be edgy or shocking... it gave women (who don't know better) everything they wanted: pink Manolo shoes & men's bare asses to gush over. Auditorium 3 at the Loews Village Cineplex felt like a Vegas Chip 'n Dale strip show surrounded by screaming bachelorettes in tiaras.
