Hollywood Pulls Out All the Action and Comedy Stops for Summer, But Here's a Preview That Asks the Burning Question: Is Any of It Any Damn Good? By Peter Travers


Sex and the City
Opening May 30th


Macho men fear this movie as the one summer chick flick they will be dragged to no matter how hard they protest. Relax. It's the ladies and the metrosexuals who will make or break the film version of the Candace Bushnell book that became Darren Star's Emmy-winning HBO series that became (from 1998 to 2004) must viewing for everyone who ever cared about shoes, hair, nails and men — in that order. The trailer for Sex and the City seems to hard-sell the comedy, when the show always took its time, letting the humor and even the drama subtly seep in. Only a fool would question Sarah Jessica Parker's fashion-superhero status as Carrie Bradshaw, author of the weekly column "Sex and the City" for the fictitious New York Star. Parker is back, along with Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis and Kim Cattrall as her cohorts in negotiating the shifting definitions of womanhood in a big, bad city. Guys, maybe you should stop resisting the movie. You just might learn something.
