THE BROADS ARE BACK - 'SEX AND THE CITY' - VARIETY REVIEW

Papa H would've been down with about half the chipees in the "Sex and the City" quartet. We figure Carrie would be his intellectual favorite during those quiet times on safari in a candlelit tent. That said, Samantha would undoubtedly be the one up with him boozin' and bangin' all night. The first reviews for the long-awaited big screen version of the hit HBO show are trickling in and they ain't all that positive.

Says Variety: "For a series so steeped in romance, the eagerly awaited “Sex and the City” movie feels a trifle half-hearted. Although there’s pleasure in seeing HBO’s fabulous four reunited, writer-director Michael Patrick King doesn’t fully bridge the gap between TV and film — delivering major story flourishes but, too often, playing like a regular episode bloated to five times its customary length. Best in its small moments, the movie should find receptive gal pals congregating for the mother of all viewing parties, but appeal beyond that core should present New Line with less of a storybook finish than it doubtless would like."
