Does anyone else think that the Sex & The City movie looks...

...just unfunny.

It's like they sucked the humor out of it or something. Unless they did the opposite of most films and put NONE of the funny bits in the theatrical trailer/s.

Thoughts?
A little known fact is that in the original screenplay, Pan's Labyrinth was Pan's FLAByrinth. Hmmmmmmm...glad they changed it.

It is what it is. I'm sure there will be some good moments as well as some stinkers. After all, its the same writer, so it won't be that different. What's different is whether the audience will embrace it or not. I personally think they waited too long to make it.
The only review of a show that matters is your own.

I think the trailer for it is well put together. Even Jennifer Hudson didn't annoy me, and that's rare.
"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

I think it's past its expiration date. Watching four self-centered women has grown boring. The sex is no longer enticing, they've all hooked up with husbands. The only reason to see the movie is the glamor of the city.

On a more interesting theme, what products will the movie make popular (other than young girls moving to NYC)? Before the series, Magnolia Bakery was just a shop that sold dry cupcakes. When it was mentioned on the show, people started lining up to get in the store to buy dry cupcakes.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

"I've never found the TV series "funny". It's more like a drama with occasional bits of humor"

I don't think it was meant to be funny. I think the original source material was darker. I think the idea behind it was to take a Jane Austen theme and modernize it. However, the substance was thin, so they spent big money on the style of the show.

I think the writing on the show was terrific and the characters so wonderfully drawn out. I really love the fairy tale New York it depicts.

Clean up the first weekend, afterwards, NO DEVIL WEARS PRADA. The core audience will get their fix early. To be must-see, it requires something to appeal beyond the fan base.

In June 2009, I predict it'll be popular on HBO.

I think the show has found a larger audience in syndication. I think the movie will do well. If it gets a PG-13 rating, I think younger girls will flock to it.

"......why didn't you finish your title?"

Sorry, it's just my way of making people read my posts. If I just leave all I wanna say in the thread title, then people are just contain their opinions to themselves, when I want opinions. I do it with a lot of my threads.

I loved the show, but like many other people on this board, I didn't find it "funny." The girls were sarcastic and witty, but not funny. I think that the show started out on a more realistic note as opposed to the last two seasons it ran. I feel like the most believeable characters through the years were Carrie and Miranda. Not necessarily the way Carrie lived, but her personality. Samantha was too over the top- funny, but who really lives like that? And Charlotte was just too much of the "miss goody two shoes." How did she even meet up with the rest of them? But, I still love the show, still miss it, and can't wait to see the movie!!!!!

Personally can't wait to see JULIE HALSTON AND LYNN COHEN (BITSY AND MAGDA)
I am counting the days to see this. Also, Nathan Lane and my favorite MARIO CANTONE.
I am counting the days, people!
