Sex and the city

I'm just back from a movie night. I went to the "sex and the city movie" with ain and venisha. I dunno which element of the movie was appealing for the others: the labels, the sex, the love, the New York city...But as far as I am concerned i was deeply moved by the friendship shared by the four protagonists. It's good to see four professionals who are at their 40s and 50s chilling out together, having blast like 20-sth young ladies.A good friend is the one who gives you a shoulder to cry on, who makes you to feel at least like a normal human being when the rest of the world look at you like a shit, the one who makes you to feel it's ok to laugh at your own absurdity and stupidity.
In fact in the movie, when Mr. Big let Carrie down by not turning up for their big day, the way Charlotte stood for and protected her friend was amazing. Similarly, when the wedding was screwed up, while the other two became the pillars for Carrie and ushered her out from the building, Samantha bravely faced and handled the whole messy situation alone which is another good thing in the movie.
The movie, in another way makes you yearn for such friendship and remind one of his/ her memorable moments in friendship. I never thought i'll ever learn anything from a movie especially not in the case of SEX and THE CITY. But, then it happened. I learnt how to treasure friendship and stand for my friends.

P/S- By the way why is it in English movies the whole marriage thingy is so cliched? Either the groom or the bride will not turn up for the wedding despite of the whole i'm- planning-for my-big-day drama.
