Considering that Sex and the City ran two and a half hours when it came out in theaters this summer, the fact that the DVD features the "extended cut" seems sort of ludicrous. Then again, what's another fifteen minutes when you've already lost feeling in your ass? To be honest, the few additions featured here that didn't make it to the theater release don't really add all that much to the story. Like the majority of the movie, they function simply as eye candy. Michael Patrick King, who provides the insightful director's commentary, says as much, opening the DVD voice over by saying, "If you considered the movie you saw in the theaters a big box of chocolates, this extended version is like you have a box of chocolate and then you lift up the layer and you find another layer that you didn't expect."
