Derived from the book which was inspired by a single line from the television series Sex In The City this is a tale of modern relationships amongst the beautiful people of Baltimore. Amongst the gag lines lie some serious home truths which mean that only courageous straight men assured of their relationship with wife/girlfriend should contemplate accompanying them to see this film. Unsurprisingly the majority of the large audience at the session I attended was female and I suspect a high proportion of the men that were present were gay.
About a third of the way through the film I was silently congratulating it for resisting the cliche of portraying a gay best friend/coworker who is expert in providing romantic advice. Even as I thought the thought along they came, three cliched gay men at first and then even more later.
Nevertheless, this film has its moments and is 'serious fun' in a SITC style.
Without divulging anything about the character he plays, Bradley Cooper viewed through gay eyes is a stunner and I would urge casting directors to let us see more of this sexy man.
