Overrated
The first must-see film of the year.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
View MoreThere are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
View MoreI can't wait for season 3! Is there going to be a third season? I watched both seasons back to back and loved it. This is much better than Sex in the City. This show is worth watching and leaves you wanting more. I love that it does not just focus on their careers, they have a life outside of the job that you can believe. The dialog is better than good...it's great! The fashion is good and I really like all the characters. The story line is better than Sex in the City because the character are much more realistic. There must be a season 3 in production. I hope the network is not suited up and stupid were they cancel the show because that would be a waste.
View MoreHello everybody! I see that I'm not the only one taken away by this great series. I simply love it and I think it's a great, down to earth movie. Every movie is about teenager issues, finding great love, a lot of things that people only dream of, makes your heart run faster, you wish you were young again. All the issues, series focus on the same age-group, but as we get older shall I say "wiser" our problems and lifestyle, life patterns change. So we need something that is close to our age, lifestyle.This is what I missed about SEX and the City...love this one too. Single life, single life's issues, fun and attraction....they hold on to their single status but as we find out...everyone is looking for the same thing, wants the same thing:LOVE, that special SOMEONE. They find it...so what then? Life ends? NO...and this is when Lipstick jungle comes into the picture. Don't we have issues and problems and fun and all that when we are in a serious relationship or married?? I loved lipstick Jungle and I really hope that I get to see season 3,4,5,6,7,8....and so on. ACtually this is the reason for writing this. I hope they haven't shut down production and I get to see the next season. We need not only SEX and The City in our lives but Lipstick Jungle( or some king of Sex and Marriage/Relationship):))THanks, hopefully someone will read it, who can help in this department:D Enjoy life:)
View MoreGive Sex and the City a B-movie treatment and this is what you get. The story is in place and the characters are in place, but it is just put together in a very over-the-top, run-of-the-mill way that is hardly as classy as Sex and the City ("SatC" from now on). And no, making the characters wear designer clothes does not count as classy! I would understand that the people making this would have wanted to stay away from giving it the same treatment as SatC, but in an effort to do so ended up making it bland, pretentious and preposterous. And to be honest, having some candid sex scenes in it would have made it more honest! For me, what soured it was the fact that i could predict what was going to happen and instead of being immersed in the story, i found myself recognizing every camera trick and cut that was used in the filming! There are so many points here that could have been explored in better and/or subtle ways...Joe the billionaire deserved to be toned down for the sake of realism, for one! When, after watching an episode, you find yourself discussing what could have been instead of discussing what just happened, you know what the fate of the show is going to be, and that's what happened!P.S.: This review is based on Season one only. Never bothered myself with season-2.
View MoreThis show is so good. You can actually tell the characters apart. They have relationships and problems you care about. You can even identify with them. The dialog is not stupid. Finally, a show that doesn't feature sex crazed neurotic morons. This one is smart and every scene is so pretty. It's big budget all the way around. I love it. Please do not dumb it down or make it like every other lame show. I don't think it needs more sex. I think it's just fine, the way it is. I'm sick of all the idiotic shows on TV that have fast scenes, and trite one-liners that are obvious innuendo setups from the beginning. Are people really that dumb? Do writers/producers not see these shows fail over and over? Why do they keep underestimating the intelligence of the American public? On Lipstick, the guys are hot, and I like that the woman are older but hot too. You don't have to be 20 to look amazing. And I freaking love Victory Ford. I love all the characters but I love her the most. Seriously. Watch the show. I am a throw back fan from Melrose Place. This does not have near the same level of scandal but it has my attention just as well. I was originally worried that it would be too much of a Sex and the City ripoff but it really isn't. So if you're going into it worried that you're going to find Carrie and the girls, or even that you're not, don't worry-- it's worlds away from Sex. I also love Brooke Sheilds. Nico's character is growing on me, but I love her plot line. I love getting home on Thursdays, grabbing a glass of wine and settling in for the Lipstick Jungle. It really is the best way to close down the week because we all know Friday doesn't count! I do hope there's more scandal to come, but clever scandal, not just who's- sleeping- with- who scandal. Not that sex is bad, but it really should be more of a magnifier than the backbone. So far, Lipstick has proved just this, and I hope that its momentum keeps going.
