And WTF were they thinking Grin

I've seen it before, but I'd forgotten how utterly appalling it is!

I don't even know where to start.

Carrie has just entered in her tuxedo for the gay wedding scene....

Carrie channelling Cruella De Ville in looks and personality, mithering her 50-something husband to get off the couch and go out-out on a bloody week night Confused

Charlotte channeling a fucking imbecile dressed in cream vintage Chanel whilst making cakes with her toddler child, rather than shit Tesco leggings with a hole in Confused

Stanny and Anthony getting married despite loathing each other for years, with a cavalier disregard for one of the best lines in the whole of SATC ‘Ed Harris? More like Ed Have-no-Hair-is’. No other gay men left in NYC I assume Confused

Must say I’ve watched it under the influence a couple of times and it’s definitely unintentionally hilarious!

lisasimpsonssaxophone · 09/06/2018 23:24

How could I forget Charlotte being jealous over the bra-less nanny? But it’s ok because she turns out to be a lesbian! Phew!

ToothyMcPuthy · 09/06/2018 23:25

You have all described how I feel about th film much more eloquently than I could.

I was utter shite.

SouthWestmom · 09/06/2018 23:25

Just got in from Jurassic Park and put it on.

It's sooooo bad

SouthWestmom · 09/06/2018 23:39

Oh my god. Condomgate. Wtf.

Plantlover · 09/06/2018 23:44

Nouef

What did you think of Jurassic park?

Lanaa · 09/06/2018 23:45

I was watching it on +1 DP fell asleep and I almost did. We've turned it off and are going to bed. Awful, awful film.

PanGalaticGargleBlaster · 09/06/2018 23:47

Look up mark kermode’s review on YouTube. It’s an epic rant

LittleBearPad · 09/06/2018 23:49

It’s dreadful. And I loved satc. Let’s all pretend it doesn’t exist - yes?

MandalaYogaTapestry · 09/06/2018 23:58

ManchesterGin Samantha actually said: Lawrence of my Arabia. A connotation with the movie "Lawrence of Arabia"

LoveInTokyo · 10/06/2018 00:02

YANBU worst film ever ever ever!

weemouse · 10/06/2018 00:04

I've just watched it. Pure and utter shite.

DorothyGarrod · 10/06/2018 00:04

I just cannot understand why there wasn’t a better script for this film and why the four stars agreed to act in it. It is the worst film I’ve ever seen and I’m a SATC fan.

OlennasWimple · 10/06/2018 00:06

I agree it's best to just pretend it didn't exist at all

PurpleRobe · 10/06/2018 00:07

I thought she said "Lawrence of my Labia" and that's why it was "funny" as it's play on words with Lawrence of Arabia?! @MandalaYogaTapestry

MonochromeDog · 10/06/2018 00:09

I liked it. Blush

HarrietKettleWasHere · 10/06/2018 00:10

She DOES say labia, I'm sure she does!

Miranda being guilted into walking out of her job so she can go to science fairs and shite is just ridiculous. She's a pissing lawyer and she worked bloody hard to get there. And then all her family just make her feel like shite about it, when no doubt she's bringing home the bulk of the income!

@MandalaYogaTapestry

Sadly she does in fact say Lawrence of my labia.

I feel kind of bad telling you to be honest, but if I have to live with that knowledge others should too! Grin

Tessliketrees · 10/06/2018 00:11
Sad
KirstenRaymonde · 10/06/2018 00:19

It’s crap but I will still happily watch and enjoy it despite its utter ridiculousness. I wish there was more SATC. I might watch it all again.

On Stanford and Anthony getting married - I was raised by gay men, this kind of 180 turn doesn’t seem in the least unplausable to me. Everyone knows you have the best sex with people you don’t like anyway.

VelvetSpoon · 10/06/2018 00:19

As a diehard SATC fan I tried to like it bit just couldn't.

I didn't feel it was in any way true to the actual characters, esp not Charlotte and Miranda. It felt like all the characters had become caricatures of themselves...the comment upthread about it being gay men playing with Barbies is all too true.

wejammin · 10/06/2018 00:30

DH (huge SATC fan) just said - why have they swapped acting for shrieking? Constant shrieking.

BasilFaulty · 10/06/2018 00:30

I had to turn over after 20 minutes. It's all so..... awkward. You can tell a lot of the cast don't really like each other, the script is like a bad GCSE devised piece, some of the acting is so far fetched and hammy, plus it's kinda racist.
Jesus Christ it's shite.

HelenaDove · 10/06/2018 00:34

Im watching a real classic on Film 4+1 An American Werewolf in London.

gabsdot · 10/06/2018 00:37

Completly crap film except for Liza Minelli singing.
That bit was class.
