Sex, New York and Shoes

I've seen the odd episode here and there, but am in no way a fan. I'll watch it only if there is nothing else on. But I've seen enough to know who the major characters are. So when a friend asked me to go with her I said sure. I ended up liking the movie, if indeed it is a movie. Actually, the best thing about it was how un-movie-like it was. In a movie they spend some time on letting you get to know the characters, slow build up to some drama and then wrap it all up with a nice little ending. Well, these guys didn't really play by those rules. It was more like a mini-season of television (runs almost two and half hours). The ups and downs, and then some downs and some shoes and sex, and ups and and more shoes, all with New York as the background (most of the time). I don't quite get shoe-love, but I'm the only women in the world who doesn't (I own five pairs, and hate shopping for shoes), but even with some of those things that I don't relate to, overall I found the experience enjoyable. I wouldn't see it twice, but once was not a bad way to spend a muggy summer afternoon.
