As light and frothy as the Vivienne Westwood wedding gown that's an unofficial fifth star, the film version of Sex and the City is both captivatingly stylish and sweetly sentimental. Viewers who loved hanging with Carrie Bradshaw and her three pals during the series' TV run will feel as though no time has passed. Except that it has: Carrie and Big are poised to make a Big Commitment; Miranda and Steve are facing the breakup of their wonderful family; Charlotte and Harry have added to their brood; and Samantha (are we sitting down?) has been devoted to hunky Smith for five full years. Still, in all that time, the women's style, conviviality, and appetite for bons mots have only grown. When practical attorney Miranda learns that Carrie is considering moving in with Big (in possibly the coolest apartment in Manhattan), she can't help but frown in that but-you-might-lose-everything way. Carrie's retort: "For once, can't you feel what I want you to feel--jealous?!"The cast is spot-on, as always. Sarah Jessica Parker is effortless as the angst-ridden yet practical, stylish yet vulnerable Carrie. Kim Cattrall is deliciously decadent as Samantha, but she's wiser now and knows herself and her needs for a real relationship. Kristin Davis, as Charlotte, has quietly become the most gorgeous among the beauties, her sleek presence both winsome and sophisticated. And Cynthia Nixon (Miranda) shows nuance as a woman torn between betrayal and grudging hope. Supporting roles include Candice Bergen as the Vogue editor who anoints Carrie "The Last Single Girl in New York," and Jennifer Hudson, as a starry-eyed, ambitious romantic who represents the new generation of SATC women. Through it all, New York is a benevolent cocoon that envelopes and nurtures the women and their friendships and careers. No matter that none of them appears to have any semblance of "real" family; as long as they have each other, and Manhattan, all will be right with their world. --A.T. Hurley

Average Rating:
Rating: 
- Glossy emptiness
The Bottom Line:
Severely overlong--at 149 minutes it's roughly 5 times the length of an episode of the show--melodramatic and tame when the show (at its best) was witty and caustic, and full of moments that make one want to groan (i.e. when the phone slips, in the slowest slow motion, from Carrie's hand at her wedding) Sex and the City fails as a cinematic endeavor and makes one thankful that soon the actresses will be too old to continue their roles.
2/4

- great movie.
Great Movie! Loved it, Very lengthy though but worth watching. I heard they are filming for part two. It arrived on time for Christmas to be given as a present for my sister :).

- Contrary to my expectations, the movie is not bad at all
I always thought of the ladies of s.... and the city as narcissistic, rich, spoiled, old brats, and I would only watch them if I was totally desperate and wanted to fall asleep (or if Mr. Big was gracing a scene with his presence). Therefore; watching the movie on HBO on another desperate boring evening was a pleasant surprise.
The ladies, against all odds, did a good job and celebrated the theme of love and friendship in a very classy way.

Rating: - Love it. Great job turning a series into a movie.
Sex and the City was one of the best shows ever for women, and this movie did a great job of continuing the story. Entertaining. Will stir up your feelings and make you laugh. Can be enjoyed by viewers even if you don't know the show.
Rating: - The girls are back!
People have often told me how Sex and the City - The Complete Series (Collector's Giftset) was meant to be a "chick flick" show & I, as a male, had little business in watching it.Well, chick flick or not, I LOVED the HBO series (so long as it was uncensored & not the TNT version). So, it was only natural that I would be more than a little bit intrigued by the return of the ladies on the big screen / DVD.
Carrie Bradshaw's wedding to Mr. Big is the centerpiece of the film. While there ... Read More
