I watched this movie again, probably for the fourth time. I originally saw it in the theatre, and I do recall enjoying it. I have subsequently seen it every once in awhile on television. Upon viewing it again last night, I was struck at how well it has held up over the past eight years or so.
Yes, it does mimic the style usually associated with Woody Allen, but that is not a bad trait. There have been numerous films fashioned to replicate Allen's choices, most recently The Sidewalks of New York, the Ed Burns film from 2001.
And although Miami Rhapsody is not as good as Allen's best works, it is a well- structured and a well-acted piece.
Sarah Jessica Parker is well suited for the movie, and, as always, she plays her part well. Mrs. Parker is not an actress with great range, but when plugged into the right project she shines. Her delivery and timing in comedic roles has always been reliable, even if she has been in some very poor movies (e.g. If Lucy Fell, Hocus Pocus, Striking Distance). She has established herself as a star in the past few years on "Sex and the City," and her character in Miami Rhapsody is very similar, like Carrie's long-lost doppleganger living in Florida.
This film is definitely worth watching if you enjoy "Sex and the City;" and, the sharp writing and likable characters make the viewing of this movie extremely enjoyable, whether it is your first, second, or third time seeing it.
