This kind of snuck up on me. The Sandra Bullock film The Proposal has now surpassed Sex and the City in its domestic gross.  Sex and the City earned almost $153 million and this week The Proposal passed $155 million and its still going.

Interesting.

I was just thinking back to when Sex and the City was released and how mean the reviews were.  We got none of that vitriol with The Proposal.  I guess we are very comfortable with a romantic comedy where the woman has to be transformed through love, yet four women who embrace themselves, their lives and their sexuality are scary.

I’m glad for the success of The Proposal (I liked the film), but I am still perplexed over a year later at the nastiness that greeted Sex and the City.

Wonder what will happen when Sex and the City 2 opens next year?
