If Carries desire for love had an element that was undeniably…aspirational, what of it?

Wasnt that true of Jane Austens heroines?

Given the running time, though, not that muchhappens, and what does has several shades more gravitas.

Thats as it should be.

The movie is about the situations Carrie cant just write off with a quip.

I mean, what was that grand finale of commitment about, anyway?

Have no fear: Carrie and Big decide to tie the knot soon enough.

Of course, Carrie is all set to have a princess wedding.

And thoughJennifer Hudson, as Carries assistant, has a delicate presence, the character is almost embarrassingly saintly.

Why couldnt she, too, pine and chatter with the verve of the city?
