Coming to a cinema near you...

By Selina Jervis on Jun 2, 08 03:08 PM in Film

13_1.jpgPersonally I loved the Sex and the City movie, I thought it was a great mix of comedy and heartache with enough fashion to keep everyone happy, but I appreciate the mixed reviews and do feel they played it safe, if a little forced and silly. But that is beside the point because I don't know any woman who hasn't been, or will soon go, to see it. It's created a certain presence in theatres...

Even while at the bus stop on Friday night there were crowds of girls and women in strapless dresses and stilettos with coiffed hair and bright lipstick; this isn't just a film, it's an event! Cocktail bars surrounding the cinema complex were stuffed with Cosmopolitan clasping ladies and many dabbed their eyes once leaving the theatre and swanned back into the bar.

The show's main pull was the fashion and it's almost a treat to dress up to the nines and make a true girls-night-out of going, leading to a box office smash. I know many people who have gone even before ever seeing a single episode. It may be an aspiration to be as constantly glamorous as the characters or an ode to the show's style admiration. I find groups of office girls more intimidating than a crew of hoodies so if you're planning on catching the new Indiana Jones flick, be prepared for hoards of females in their best, it's quite a sight to see!
