I saw the Sex & The City movie last night. Alas, since Lori is in West Virginia doing summer stock and Jordana is in San Francisco for the weekend, I was friendless when I went. I was the only person in that theater sitting by themselves, I kid you not. But I knew that if I didn’t go last night, I probably wasn’t going to see it while it was still in the movie theaters. And while yes, I will buy it when it comes out on DVD, I just felt like it was something I had to see in theaters.

People, I cannot rave enough about this movie. If you loved the series, you will love the movie, because it feels like a giant two-hour episode. There are good storylines for each of the four women, there is plenty of fashion to go around (even though I can’t walk in heels, I came out of the theater seriously coveting these Manolos), and the majority of the supporting cast has a reprise as well. By the end of the movie I had laughed until my sides hurt, cried more than once, and felt like I had just spent the evening with some old friends. That sounds cliche, but over the course of the series, that’s just who these characters became: I knew their faults and strengths as well as I knew my own and talked about them often with my girlfriends. Last night was just a much anticipated reunion with them.

For the record? I’m still a Miranda.
