Will any audience care about bourgeois problems during a recession?
I doubt it.
shareI mean, seriously. Look at SJP's list of tasks on the movie's poster, right on the imdb page. They are privileges, not obstacles. Screw this movie and its delusional attitude toward the upper-middle class.
shareBefore I reply to your comment, I'll just say that your ID Name is hilarious.
Also, you make a good point.
This movie is most likely just for SATC fans. Easy money made...blah blah ^^

Keep in mind, it's not quite the same luxury anymore to go to films/musicals.
Moreover, it's not so much that people won't go to the movies, but this particular 'fantasy' is just too stupid. Let's just forget the whole recession thing, even if all was perfect, this movie is going to be sh*t. lol.

This movie is aimed at the upper middle class. The target audience seems to be women who were fans of Sex and the City in the late 90s and early 2000s when they were in college or in their 20s who are now grappling with marriage and motherhood. Of course one of the main complaints against Sex and the City 2 was that audiences were disgusted by the idea that we were supposed to sympathize with a wealthy married mother of two feeling overwhelmed and trapped despite having a housekeeper and a nanny.
shareSJP keeps playing herself. She a rich woman who can't think of anything rewarding to do with her life! I mean she keeps taking the same role instead of something challenging! She can do a workshop or theater work or help acting students. Damn it's not like she needs the money!

I don't know anything about the movie, but I totally disagree with this comment. Looking at the tasks, they aren't bourgeoisie privileges, but more everyday ones: do laundry, pack lunches, scrub bathroom, get car serviced, vacuum rug, make kids lunches, fix the leak etc. How are these upper-class problems?
Like I said, I don't know anything about the movie but based solely on the poster I can't see your point.
