The ONLY thing I liked about Sex and the City was the fascinating wedding dress by Vivienne Westwood! Now comes word she didn't much care for the movie either!
"Westwood: 'Sex Movie Is Dull'

Legendary fashion designer Vivienne Westwood is not a fan of Sex And The City: The Movie, branding the film's fashion styling uninspiring and "quite dull".
The designer, 67, is name-checked in the film and even created the dress worn by Sarah Jessica Parker's fashionista character Carrie on her wedding day.
But Westwood insists she was far from impressed with stylist Patricia Field's work on the big screen adaptation of the hit TV series.
She says, "I thought Sex And The City was supposed to be about cutting-edge fashion and there was nothing remotely memorable or interesting about what I saw.
"I went to the premiere and left after ten minutes."

Why the name change for your site? LOL
I guess it grabs you more.
SEX AND THE CITY: THE MOVIE is kind of like its outfits — it only works about half the time.
No, the wedding dress didn't even charm me. The bride's head is a totally inappropriate place for a bird to be perching.
Though I'll admit, white fabric must be excellent for hiding the bird droppings.
I like the SEX AND THE CITY franchise, especially some of the more terse and comic TV episodes. My problem with the film is that I don't really believe many of the characters' actions.
E.G.: Mr. Big had plenty of time to think about the marriage before leaving Carrie at the altar — this Runaway Bride/Groom shit only seems to happen in Hollywood.
After the altar-cation, the movie didn't have a noticeable plot and just sauntered from experience to experience, dragging quite a bit.
And the whole thing was emotionally slow and heavy compared to its TV episodes — they played out their 148 minutes out in a depressing, lackadaisical way. I expected more comedy.
I give it 2 out of 4 stars!
