This movie is very dark but it shows what life can be like for some children growing up in foster care. It is easy to forget that Jolene is actually a child when she gets married the first time. Jolene is a child without a childhood and she uses sex to get what she wants/needs. Jolene does not seem to make life happen, she just goes through life letting things happen to her. It seems that she just wants to be loved and cared for. However, she does not know how to do that the right way. There were a lot of sex and nude scenes. I am not sure that all of it was necessary. Many scenes are difficult to watch if you are a woman and it is easy to feel sad for the character Jolene. I had hoped that Jolene would have a happy ending. However, it is meant to be realistic and not wrapped in a sweet little package. It was okay to watch once but I would not watch it again.

Sex and the City
(2008)
This movie is based on the HBO series of four girlfriends and their lives in New York City.
1 June 2008
The movie stayed true to each character from the series. However, if you look carefully at the top of the screen, you are able to see the microphone in some of the scenes. I was surprised about that and there was even some difficulty with the picture itself. The movie was a little more serious and did not have as many humorous parts compared to the series. The fashion was greatly enhanced with lots of wild outfits. However, there seemed to be a bit of a commercial in the movie promoting purse rentals. (It is a great idea but I did not feel it should have been brought into the movie.) The ladies played their parts perfectly and each character seemed to have matured. As a fan of the show, I would love it no matter what. I believe people who have never watched the show can still follow the movie but true fans will greatly appreciate it.
