Sex and the City-Predictable, although I didn’t see the middle of the storyline coming…great fashion, great apartment style, great characters, although I thought Samantha’s character was a bit subdued from her “TV” years. My only comment was that the boys got OLD…and only some (namely Big) aged like a fine Sterling vineyard cabernet. The others were definitely discount shelf stock. It was everything I thought it would be…entertaining, enjoyable, and pure Sex.
Inventing the Abbotts-Something completely different from Sex in the City, but still have the “love” theme in mind. TiVoed it because it was about two Illinois families from different backgrounds falling in love…plus it had Liv Tyler, Joquin Phoenix, Billy Crudup and Jennifer Connelly, and it was set in the 1950’s…why else would I tivo it? Way more complicated than “just a love story about a wealthy family of girls who catches the eyes of the “wrong side of the track” boys, but it was pleasantly enjoyable. The storyline was so simple, yet complex, that it just made the movie work. Plus Crudup and Phoenix were perfect in their roles of feuding brothers, and Liv Tyler gave a great performance of the youngest Abbott sister. So without reading up on the movie first, and just simply finding it randomly and recording, it was most enjoyable. Rent this 1997 classic.
