Sex and the Matrix

I'm not a massive fan of Sex and the City but I checked out this short Matrix parody recently when I had brief access to broadband ( believe it or not, I only have 56k dialup in my house – I know, I'm a rubbish internet geek). Like the Matrix Reloaded parody, this takes clips from the film and merges it with new material – in this case Sarah Jessica Parker reprising her Sex and the City role.

The effect is as expected but yet funny and I think it helps that the film uses original scenes to recreate the Sex and the City feel rather than just inserting Parker into clips in the way other parodies have done. It is not brilliant but it is a clever mix of the two creations and it is the contrast between the two that works so well because it affectionately mocks both of them while also recognising how the majority of us will "get it" because of how well known and recognisable it all is. Fallon is fun as Neo while Parker, Cattrall, Davis, and Nixon all reprise their normal lunchtime chat with good spirits.

Overall a fun little spoof that is affectionate and mocking of both The Matrix and Sex and the City. Worth a glance if you are familiar with both.
