I know this movie is not appropriate for people younger than 17,
however for those of us over that number-
this is THE fashion movie of the decade

Can women alone make ’Sex and the City’ a hit?

Can women alone make ’Sex and the City’ a hit?
By JOCELYN NOVECK
NEW YORK (AP) — Can a pure chick flick become a hit? Yes, if it draws a diverse enough swath of female moviegoers. For ‘‘Sex and the City,’’ that will be the big question.
There are indications that the film, which opens Friday, is attracting a lot of interest from women of all ages — not just the age of the four lead actresses, who range from their early 40s to just over 50.
‘‘We can’t remember the last time a movie has created so much anticipation among female moviegoers from their 20s through their 40s,’’ said Harry Medved, a spokesman for Fandango, the online movie ticket site.
Medved said many women seem to be planning to go in groups. ‘‘We are getting a surprising number of requests for group ticket sales from women planning ’Sex and the City’ get-togethers,’’ he said.
It’s not just the ticket sellers who are noticing the trend. Abbey Greenberg, co-owner of a specialty cookie company, says she’s been getting calls by the dozens for her stiletto-shoe creations.
‘‘It’s been crazy,’’ says Greenberg, of The Flour Pot, which is based in Ambler, Pa. ‘‘They start out by saying they want the shoe cookies. Then they say they need them for May 30th. Of course it turns out it’s for a ’Sex and the City’ party.’’
Often, the hostesses say they’ll be drinking Cosmpolitans before the movie, too — the favorite drink, as fans of the HBO series well know, of sex columnist Carrie Bradshaw and her pals, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte. Sometimes the hostesses add that they’ll be dressing up in high style, as well.
‘‘This movie just calls out for a girl’s night out,’’ says Greenberg, 27, who herself plans to see the film with a group of women, although not opening night, and not specially attired. ‘‘I’ll wait until it’s less crazy,’’ she says...
Oh, and asked their gender, 94 percent of ticket buyers said they were women.
You only have to look back two years to ‘‘The Devil Wears Prada,’’ another female-oriented film heavy on fashion (with the same costume designer) and juicy female characters, to find a movie that scored big despite an overwhelmingly female demographic.
But there’s a difference: ‘‘Prada’’ was rated PG-13, whereas ‘‘Sex and the City’’ is rated R, with good reason, as any fan of the often explicit series knows. That will severely limit the teen audience (those under 17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian).
‘‘This movie really will be a paternity test for R-rated female-driven romantic comedies,’’ said analyst Jeff Bock of box office tracker Reel Source. ‘‘There haven’t been a lot of movies like this.’’ Bock predicts the movie will have a strong opening weekend, then a big drop-off. ‘‘There’s no getting around that this is a film oriented to women and gay men,’’ he said. ‘‘It will be very hard to get past that, especially with a lot of testosterone-driven films out there this summer.’’ The End
I just so disagree that a guy would not like this movie. I mean, it is full of great looking gals.
So girls, don't let your guys weasel out of going to this movie.
If you get to see it

best looking clothes were!!!!!!!
