It’s not Sex in the City, but it kind of feels like Sex and City for dudes, which I realized watching Sex and the City when I was in Europe and I was going, ‘Oh, we’re making that.’
The importance of friendship
The popular Hallmark star spoke of the importance of friendship that is revealed in the movie trilogy, saying, “It distills that dynamic of our elected family, which so much of us experience now being away from our family, probably living in New York, or families back home, wherever,” adding:
Your friends become your family. They become the people who hold you up through all of these moments in our lives. It captures that feeling while doing so, telling a very lovely, diverse group of stories with a really diverse cast and doing it earnestly without feeling like there was an agenda.
