Disney Scarlett: I totally agree with you about SJP's portrayal of the devastated bride. Most of my audience gasped but having lived through my share of heart ache it was just what I would have expected. The montage of the girls checking on Carrie was priceless and one of the most realistic portrayals of heart ache that I've seen. I keep comparing it to my all time favorite heart ache reaction - Emma Thompson in Love Actually after she gets the Joannie Mitchell CD instead of the necklace.
DH and I are trying to figure out a way to see it again soon. We are thinking kids to Prince Caspian and adults to SATC. Like you I really appreciated the references to the series. The Anthony/Stanford New year's Eve kiss cracked me up remembering Charlotte's failed attempt to hook up her gay friend with Carrie's gay friend.
