Wow, I was surprised to see such a strong performance by Kim Cattrall. She has proved herself to be a talented and versatile actress; not a shadow of Sex and the City's Samantha Jones here - she totally owned the role of Monica. I'm surprised she isn't getting more work; I'd love to see more of her in serious roles.
This is much better than I can say for her Sex and the City co-star Sarah Jessica Parker, who isn't capable of portraying anyone other than Carrie Bradshaw, and all the movies she has done were rubbish, yet somehow she gets more recognition. That's so lame.
Spoilers:
I was hoping for a happy ending... INVOLVING Monica, but all we get to see is Tobe getting together with the chubby girl. I guess there was no other way to end the movie that would be reasonable, but I was still a little disappointed. It is implied that Monica does well with the 5 grand Tobe gives her and with getting her kid back, but still, it would have been better to actually SEE it.
End of spoilers.
Despite the slightly disappointing ending, the movie was great altogether. A serious and thoughtful movie that's funny in all the right places. Massively underrated. A must-see for drama-lovers.
