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

Sex in the City MOVIE

LOVED IT, was done well. The fashion was amazing. Absoluf'enlutely miss Carrie and Big. Hope they do another movie

It is just wonderful

I will not give a play by play because it seems like everyone does. It is just plain good, yes there are some silly parts, some predictable parts and some not needed parts . . . but the rest is wonderful.

I enjoyed every minute and plan to watch it often at home :)

Comfortable But OTT

I was among the biggest fans of this series. I relished the series with my friends and also introduced every male friend and my ex-bf to it for the insight and educational value I saw in it for them as well. For me and my gf's this was just a very easy to relate to series being young late 20's women who were torn between the dreams of our mother's, grandmother's and ourselves. Part of what made the series so good was the refreshing if not unabashed honesty, sincerity and realistic nature of the conversations and interactions. Innuendo always scored major points with us as well.

The movie was comfortable and familiar to me and many of my friends. That said it was a bit sad with an underlying message that women cannot have it all unless you are a "Charlotte". Not the best of messages. On the other hand the message of comfortable unity and imperfection as well as not needing a partner is a positive message but a bit lost on the obsessive nature with which Carrie's relationship trumps all others and dominates the film. I also think the male frontal nudity was NOT an integral part of the film and if anything was "old" and placed there for shock/tittilation value. It was a direct parallel to the "Samantha outside the Yankee's Lockerroom" scene from an episode in the series and just went too far and was tacky in my opinion.
All in all it is worth the watch if you are a die-hard fan mostly for nostalgia sake because at this point the series has been off too long to evoke a true curiosity as to "what happens next" but nevertheless it is still chalk full of lessons. I would recommend it only to those who followed the series closely as otherwise it is another sappy "we tried, we failed, we compromised" movie.

Fun enough

It's not nearly as good as the series, but SATC the movie does provide a nice visit with the beloved characters, and it's entertaining enough. I just wish they had done more work with the writing -- it was missing the wit and sparkle of the TV show.
