While watching the Sex and the City reboot, And Just Like That… – and also rewatching some of the OG series – we got to thinking (see what we did there?) about some of the films the fab foursome starred in before, during and after filming SATC – which aired on our television screens from 1998 to 2004.
Inevitably, the actors playing Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha have become sort of synonymous with their on-screen characters in our cultural consciousness, thanks to – well – the show’s sheer popularity. Sarah Jessica Parker will always be Carrie Bradshaw to us; Cynthia Nixon is Miranda Hobbes; Kristin Davis is Charlotte York Goldenblatt; and Kim Cattrall – despite her absence from the show’s reboot – will always be Samantha Jones.
They’ve also done a fair amount of other television work, for instance Sarah Jessica Parker starring in Sharon Horgan’s fabulous series Divorce, Cynthia Nixon in The Gilded Age, and Kim Cattrall will playing a leading role in the upcoming How I Met Your Father.
But that doesn’t mean we should forget their movie star parts, of which – rest assured, there are many to mention. Cue a rather fabulous round-up.
First thing’s first: we’re not including the Sex and the City films, released in 2008 and 2010 respectively, because obviously that featured all four leading ladies back together again – so it’s cheating.
Anyway, there are some indisputable gems among these movie parts, including Sarah Jessica Parker in Hocus Pocus (who else forgot?), Cynthia Nixon’s role playing Emily Dickinson in A Quiet Passion.
That said, there’s no polite way to put this – the Sex and the City cast have been in some absolutely atrocious movies… as for the biggest dud, it’s possibly a toss-up between the genuinely-verging-on-offensive The Babysitters, which Cynthia Nixon played a supporting role in, and Kim Cattrall’s stint in Baby Geniuses.
What some of these throwbacks do provide, however, is a bit of comedy factor, and a light-hearted reminder than even the megastars fronting the Sex and the City franchise had to start somewhere – and even made a few more questionable choices once they were established.
On a more positive note, it’s also a celebration of the foursome’s versatility, after over a decade playing the same parts in the six seasons and two films that compromised Sex and the City (longer, in fact, for the And Just Like That remainers). So, without further adieu, let’s see them: the good, the bad and the ugly…
