What Uncle Sha learned
I’m very particularly impressed with this film, considering I was expecting a storyline that’s along the line of another chick-flick men-bashing kinda movie, it wasn’t but instead takes you on a non-glossy point of view at this thing we call love.
I’ve never really watched the TV show of “Sex and the City”, and I don’t really know who is Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte or Miranda, but instantly I grew to like these characters.
You can instantly relate to each of these funny, loving and quirky characters in the movie as they could easily pass them off as one of your close friends.
From the horny take-charge Samantha, to the ever critical Miranda, and the innocent G-rated Charlotte, it’s like mentioning your long-time best buddy from high-school.
The chemistry between the four actresses were amazing, they seem to be able to finish off the other person last line of thoughts, and that makes it much more convincing about the characters depicted as true best friends.
The main plot and sub-plots was well presented, and I was surprised at the low ratings it had on the movie database website IMDB.
Maybe because it was due to some of the few disjointed scenes which doesn’t make sense, but overall everything looks alright to me.
The four is New York’s version of the Spice Girls, and this is what I call girl power.
And that’s why chicks love this movie, it gives them a certain sense of empowerment by watching the film.
The story also tells that love is the beginning, while at the same time, love is also the end.
