    just f*** off

    I felt the film version of SATC was a mistake. The show was pretty good and I enjoyed it but the film version takes away all of its foundations and undoes so much great work. They wanted the film to be bigger and better but they forgot about the heart of the show, the characters!...( read more) It breaks down like this; Steve would never cheat, Stanford & Anthony would never get it on together, Carrie would never have that kind of wedding and Big is not that stupid! I would like to see a sequel but only if it?s all about Samantha, the only person worth watching. That's not to say the other actors aren't good, they just didn't get their fair share this time!

    This is the best movie I'd seen last year. It's perfect for all SATC fans - the girls are back together 4 years later. There's lots of drama - wedding, affair, baby. Lots of fab shoes and clothes. Makes you appreciate your loved ones and friends. Even if you haven't seen the TV s...( read more)eries it is still a great movie about love, labels and friendships. Good cast and plot. I'd marry Big for that closet! Charlotte is my favourite character, she is adorable.

    Bottom line: a provocative, groundbreaking TV series that worked in 30-minute segments has been bloated and padded into nearly two and a half hours of tedium and gratuitous product placement for everything from Vuitton to a new Mercedes-Benz GLK. King's attempt at "racial balance...( read more)" pathetically backfires but at least proves useful in putting the show's inherently materialistic and supremacist ethos into sharper focus. There is something depressingly stunted about this film; something desperate too. I hate myself a little bit for wasting two and a half hours of my life watching this. I know, why did I watch it then? I rarely see my sister, and she's a devotee of the show. And guess what, she didn't particularly like it, either.

    Two words: CHICK FLICK. I'm sure there is some fluff entertainment value for fans of the show. There are times when the writing is surprisingly really witty, and other times when I became invested in the characters and what they were going through. However, there were also a l...( read more)ot of times where I was overwhelmed by the sheer superficiality of the overall film. Not to mention that it felt at many points like a two and a half hour ad for Apple. It has its moments, but for me, I now understand how my girlfriend felt when I made her watch Rambo in the theatre.

    First of all, I've never seen an episode of 'Sex And The City', so I wouldn't know if the film related well to the series.

    However, simply viewing this film with no history of the characters, it was still enjoyable. The story was easy to follow, and the little explanatio...( read more)ns at the beginning helped to set the scene.

    It is a long film: 2 hrs 30 mins, but rather surprisingly, it didn't drag at all. There were several funny moments, and most of the time the film made you smile.

    In all, a good chick flick.

    i didn't follow the series.. i didn't watch this in the movie house but when it showed in cable, well might as well watch it.. frankly i liked the story and the part where carrie realized that that the wedding was all about her.. wedding is not about the bride only rather its abo...( read more)ut the couple getting married.

This celebration with Carrie & Co. — very much television writ large — seems precisely the Sex and the City reunion the show's fans had hoped for. full review

I walked into the theatre hoping for a nice evening and came out as a hard-line Marxist, my head a whirl of closets, delusions, and blunt-clawed cattiness. All the film lacks is a subtitle: The Lying,... full review

The show was at its best when it offered, without a great deal of extraneous examination, these glimpses into the nature of friendships between women. The movie needs more of that. full review

...so unexpectedly excellent. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

The movie, scripted and directed by series veteran Michael Patrick King, caters to viewers nostalgic for the Emmy-winning show while pushing forward into feature film territory. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

I am not the person to review this movie. Perhaps you will enjoy a review from someone who disqualifies himself at the outset, doesn't much like most of the characters and is bored by their bubble-bra... full review

Armond White, The New York Press

Movin' on up to the movie big time means Sex and the City can no longer be accepted as just a cable-TV party game. It has to compete with the big girls, Hollywood's classic representations of female b... full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today

Amid the style, sass and sexiness is plenty of sentimentality, especially at the satisfying conclusion. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Beyond the shoes, the cosmopolitans and the disloyal men, Sex and the City has always been about the bond among women. At its best, the movie shows why that bond sticks. full review

    (2008 Director: Michael Patrick King) Some familar characters, such as Willie Garson & "Big" (Chris Noth-Julius Ceasar, Rough Riders). If you love the TV series, you will enjoy this movei!! Well done. Continuing saga of the FAB 4 Sexy Self-sufficient Single Sirens of NY City!! A fave!! Watch it with someone you L O V E To Quote Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) "Life doesn't always end up in happy endings like in fairy tales that's why you have friends to get y ou through reality."

    The show as a whole was funny, but the final episode was a materialistic piece of garbage. I was kinda hopin' that mr big was gonna turn out to be a serial killer & would slit Carries throat & leave her dead in a river somewhere, since she did go back to the dumb bastard! ...in the movie, if not the tv show anyway!
