I just loved this movie. It carried out the ending to the series perfectly.

I have read some of your reviews and I have to agree with the critics with the poor reviews of this movie. I thought is sucked! I loved the series and own every season on DVD. In addition, I used to have a girls night every Monday for a year where we would sit around, eat cheese, drink wine and watch a few shows a night starting with the first episode. I was highly disappointed in the movie. The series was funny, quick witted and entertaining. The movie was not funny. It was depressing and boring. I suggest that any lover of the series should not watch the movie. The series ended appropriately and movie just screwed it up.

For anyone who slated this film (esp those people who used a thesaurus to look up every 'big' word they could find to do so) and claim that you 'loved/adored' the series....you're full of sh**. The film (as Travers stated) is just 4 or 5 episodes bunched together in a film. Every hardcore fan who loved the series that I know, loved the film...including myself. And as for allegations that it's a bunch of light hearted, label dropping, Sad gal material....sorry but what did you think you were watching in the series?! I suggest you go back and watch them again (if you own them that is).

This film is exactly what hardcore SATC fans wanted....and it's what we got!

Not Rated

Designer Label Fetishism in the Cardboard City
By Cédric Van der Hauwaert cvanderhauwaert@gmail.com

Without the glitzy outfits, collagen ODing and "old school Hollywood" masculine charm of Chris Noth a.k.a. Mr. Big, this would be one seriously depressing romp



I genuinely loved the Sex and The City series. That's before I made the unfortunate and unpremeditated decision to go see the vile and retrograde label queen bonanza this big-screen never-ending "sad gal story" turned out to be. Nowadays, upon unfortunately catching the gazillionth rerun of its now mythological small screen ancestor, I get an uncontrollable urge to smash my TV into oblivion and curse the corporation-controlled mall America has become – the commercialization being so egregious even wayward and ever-edgy Manhattan is now a sanitized post-Giuliani hole deplorably synonymous with this disturbing consumerism propaganda film for ageing women; SATC the movie is a vulgar, dialogue-ridden commercial for designer labels stretched needlessly beyond two hours (they could use the picture at Guantanamo, I bet we would soon get those missing flight boxes) and the confines of any credible or enjoyable romanticism – while the show was never (intended to be) a realist depiction of everyday life in Gotham, this maltzy movie is a cartoonish and lobotomized (especially Kristin Davis, who obviously had Paxil injected into her cheeks by studio medics) parody of the sexy dream world competently conjured up in the HBO series.

The cynical credo of the movie, Samantha's silly quip "I love you but I love myself more" should be read, in the context of the movie, as "I love your suckworthy schlong but sadly it doesn't have Fendi loudly vomited all over it". The bitchy, insightful (at least for a television show) chatter at upscale Manhattan coffee places and hip Asian food joints that instantly became the gorgeous trademark of the show, has been rudely stripped from this long and tedious celluloid opus to the dollar.
Fans of the series have every reason to feel insulted for the picture's bland violation of continuity. Bitchy homo's Anthony Marantino and Stanford Blatch – by whom, déjà in the series I felt insulted as a gay man for their "My Best Friend's Wedding" desexualized, thus dehumanized portrayals of Chelsea homosexuals, fashionista poodles who only serve as docile valets to posh upper class Fifth Avenue white women, who hated each others guts on the TV screen, are now an item in absence of a subplot that takes more than 5 minutes and a macchiato to come up with.
Sad, desperate for attention and botoxed to the gills, these gals offer a bleak and pricey prospect for American womanhood.

Sat me Lisa and Amy went to see SATC. The movie takes place where the show left off. Carrie is getting ready to move in with Mr. Big in a new apartment. Samantha has moved to Los Angeles, where she's dating a Hollywood TV stud smith. Miranda is still...(read more) living in the city with her husband. Charlotte is enjoying life with her husband and adopted daughter. This time around Carrie is about to take a big step, as her "knight in shining armor" Mr. Big proposes to her after buying an expensive house, and expanding the inside of a small closet for Carrie's accessories. Miranda has trouble mixing work, kids, and a husband, and she overshadows her husband after she is too tired for sex. In an unexpected turn of events, her tells her a secret that devastates her(sorry no spoilers here). After Miranda's catastrophe, she gives the wrong advice to Mr. Big the night before the wedding. The next day, THE BIG DAY Carrie is ready to be well "carried away" hence the premise on the advertisement. Instead her "Knight in dull armor" gets "frozen feet" not "cold feet", and leaves her in her spectacular bride dress alone with nothing, but her girls. It was a sad chapter, along with many other chapters in the film. Carrie needs some time w/ the girls, so she decides to go to her "honeymoon" to forget about "Mr. Big". The girls try to cheer her up, but Carrie just will not let go, and I can see why after what she went through. Luckily, one of her friends makes her laugh uncontrollably in a very outrageous scene after too many mexican burritos. After the weekend in Mexico, Carrie hires an assistant, played by the enchanting Jennifer Hudson. Who plays a deep role as a "love" driven women similar to Carrie. Will carrie let go, will Miranda forgive her husband Steve and confess a dark secret to Carrie, will Samantha change her new lifestyle as a one man/one woman relationship or will she back into her naughty ways, and will Jennifer Hudson find love again in St. Louis. Its up to you to find out, because for 2hrs and 15 min I was hooked and impressed by the storylines, the humor, and the twists. Sex and The City is a film that ALL WOMEN WILL LOVE, Boy and girl relationships, and heterosexual men can be masculine enough to enjoy all the rave that is SEX AND THE CITY.

i have been an adamant viewer of the series, since day one—
i've seen all episodes at least a gazillion times each. however,
this movie offered nothing of these characters or of a
storyline--except charlotte, who used to be my least fave, but
was the only one in the movie who i feel really progressed as
a 40-something. all of the other characters regressed, which
made not only for aggravating movie-viewing, but it hails
hopeless women who don't age gracefully (and i'm not talking
looks here; they all look great!). and this is not what men
should watch to get an inside into how women work. watch
the HBO series for that! as for jennifer hudson's role: i
disagree with travers. it was one of the plotlines that should
have been deleted. it made these women look even worse: a
22-year-old can marry and find love within months of moving
to nyc, but these ladies waste years trying to simply take back
their old flames who inevitably screw them over again and
again?! don't waste $10 at the theater. wait for hbo's release.

In all honesty, I liked the series much better. I wanted to see a comedy and found myself almost crying a few times!! Maybe it's just the fact that the characters are aging (some better than others) and so am I!!!

Who needs to be reminded?
