Writer Roger Friedman gave a review for Fox of the Sex in the City movie and came away with an interesting comparison between Mr. Big and Carrie and Bennifer.

Bennifer. That big, bloated, mess of a relationship/public relations nightmare that happened a few years ago between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck. Namely, the wedding that occured (or didn’t) between the two.

Regarding Sex in the City, Friedman said:

“It is fair to say, then, that their big wedding at the New York Public Library is cancelled. Big leaves Carrie at the altar. This occurs about halfway through the film. It seems based on Bennifer — I mean Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s — cancelled nuptials of just a few years ago.”

Ouch. The movie comes out across the country on May 30th, and even with this knowledge I will probably go see it. Who could resist?

On the plus side, if we really are to compare Big and Carrie’s relationship to that of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, they both DID live happily ever after. After Bennifer, that is. So maybe the answer for Carrie and Big is to each find their true love, get married, and have babies. Two, in the case of Carrie.

In other words, as long as Big and Carrie don’t make a crappy movie together that no one can pronouce, I think they’ll be okay.
