First, and probably most important to SATC fans, this movie is very true to the TV series. All of the characters return including 4 girls, their guys and their gay sidekick. Certainly all of the Manhattan glitz, the restaurants, the clubs and the sights are on full display. And, of course, there are the clothes, the jewelry and the handbags; tons and tons of fashion and glitz. But this movie is long, long, long -- More than 2-1/2 hours worth! And underlying it all, at least for a guy not necessarily taking this all as farce, is the utterly privileged, fantasy life these women live. While the series and the movie pay lipservice to these women's "careers", they really never work. This is totally summed up when they take a spontaneous honeymoon trip to Mexico for 2 weeks to take care of jilted Carrie. I do want to know who provides Carrie's cell phone service as she has no problem making calls from Mexico.... Of course, all ends as it "should", independent women, albeit chained to men, all! A tribute to the original series which was witty, clever and original. It was often inspirational, for both men and women. But this movie is really a cartoon!Read full review
I saw this movie in the theater, so I ordered the DVD after the fact for my hen's night w/3 of my BFFs to watch while we're in NYC. Anyway, while I LOVED the film, unless you watched the entire HBO six seasons or reruns prior to seeing the movie, it could be difficult to understand where some of the scenes came from w/o knowing the backdrop (my fiance, my own personal "Mr. Big", had this problem). So while it was entertaining for us diehard fans, I can see where someone who never watched the series or only saw a few episodes, wouldn't get or appreciate all the references to the past. But after all, the movie was for us diehard SATC fans, wasn't it? In that regard, I LOVED IT! Loved the fashion, loved the characters, loved the drama, everything. I only wish they had included Stanford in more scenes, since he was one of Carrie's closest friends in the series. I also loved counting the fashion items (shoes, purses, etc.) that I already have or wanted to get! :-) I can't wait for the SATC Movie #2!!!Read full review
What can I say ? There's nothing better than old pals picking up right where they left off !! Thanks true friendship. You didn't need to be a comsumed fan to be able to pick up the story line. I first saw it in the theater and went in expecting to find some characters having 'passed over'....I was sooo wrong....what a great surprise. There are some really great moments and some definite 'tissue' moments. Watched it 2 times again and picked up some moments that I missed the first time. The movie leaves plenty of room for another sequel....afterall we need to find out about Charlotte's baby and if Carrie and Big really DO get it together....and of course Samantha's cancer crisis. LOVE IT !! Lois
Sex & The City - The Movie - ENJOYED THE SUPRISES!! The movie stayed true to the series, which I also loved... I enjoyed seeing them older and a little more mature, but still had the no holds barred sex talk that we all know and love, for example, I will never look at crayons and coloring the same again! The fashion did not dissappoint either...the girls were all beautiful. I was also very happy with all characters being played by the original actors, that is the way it should be and I also enjoyed the addition of a couple of new ones. The beginning of the movie is great for anyone who has not seen the series...it completely catches you up, so if watching it with hubby/boyfriend/girlfriend that has not seen the series, they will not be lost, so good move on the producer and directors part to add that in the beginning. I both laughed and cried in this movie, it was great to see some "old friends" and to see what they were up to...Sarah Jessica Parker is very good at at both comedy and drama and so are the rest of the actors, so it is a well made movie.. It is really in a class of it's own! So, if you loved the series, see the movie, and if you haven't seen the series, don't be afraid that you will be lost, and remember...the whole series is already waiting for you on DVD! Thanks for reading this review and make sure to mark that it was helpful - Have a great day!Read full review
I absolutly loved this movie. This movie is not for teens, to explicit. This movie was very funny and at times would bring a tear to my eye. I have always loved sex and the city, the t.v. serires. I would recommend this movie to any adult as long as your comfortable with sex, naked men and women, and cursing. what a greta movie.
