The ultimate chick flick came out today, and many Ball State University students took notice.
Some students planned their evenings around the premiere of Sex and the City 2 last night.
The sequel was released at midnight, two years after the first film was released and six years after the series ended.
Sophomore public relations major Marissa Walters said she and her friends planned on going out to eat at DoMo and then to the 12:01 a.m. showing of the movie.
"I think it's going to be awesome and will hopefully surpass my expectations," she said. "I think two years [in between the first and second movies] is a good break. We were all ready for it."
Although the cast of Sex and the City has been tight-lipped about the plot, the latest theatrical trailer reveals Carrie's ex-fiance, Aidan, returning while the quartet vacations in Abu Dhabi. This complication could disrupt her marriage to Mr. Big. Meanwhile, the conservative Charlotte deals with the stress of motherhood, and Samantha continues her conquest of devouring men.
Walters said she doesn't know how she feels about the return.
"I was a fan of Aidan when they were dating, but I'm a bigger fan of Big," she said. "I don't want her to betray him."
Walters predicted that Carrie will consider cheating on Big, but she won't end up with Aidan.
Sophomore criminal justice major Bethany Kuzma agreed.
"I'm just excited for the movie," she said. "I'm excited for Aidan to be back, but I just don't want Carrie to mess things up with Big."
Kuzma said she's been a fan of the series since her freshman year and has watched the DVDs of the series numerous times.
"I think their life is so glamorous," she said. "I like all of the clothes."
Kuzma said her love of clothes was part of the reason she identified most with the character of Carrie.
"My friends and I joke that because I'm always thinking and pondering stuff, I'm like her," she said. "We both spend all of our money on clothes and just our personalities are similar."
Walters said she watched the series when it first aired on HBO, and she's watched the series since it has been in syndication on channels like TBS.
"I would say I could relate to [the characters], but I don't necessarily relate to all parts of their lifestyles," she said. "Anyone with a close group of friends with such different people can relate to it."
