Essentially there are four complete rom-coms here, which will delight series fans. And probably no one else.

It has more than enough sass, style and sentiment to keep the faithful satisfied. Add a star if you’re a fan.

Wouldn't it be redundant to describe the self-indulgent big-screen adaptation as similarly vapid, pointless, and poorly acted as the popular HBO show upon which it is based?

What does that say when a self-admitted narcissist receives such a following? In playing the victim card so often, Sarah Jessica Parker's character is one of the most unlikable characters I've seen in a long time.

Was this bonbon to the show's fans, four years after the "happily ever after" series finale, really necessary?
06/27/08
Plays like nothing more than a marathon viewing of an entire seventh season that should have never been made.

To its credit, though, the movie turns Carrie's value system, which equates "the two Ls--Labels and Love," to its advantage, and in the second half the movie achieves a nice balance between comedy and drama.

It's too bad that the false sense of high heel empowerment never registers as soundly as our resident money-styling maidens look to achieve in this beleaguered City.

Sex and the City is not a painful experience for men (or even guys), just a predictable one...
06/12/08
Somewhere along the line, the movie version of Sex and the City got too much Botox injected into the script, and all the life was ironed out of it.

It's nice to see these women again, because they are all rich and complex characters, but it's basically a sentimental exercise, designed for maximum cash flow before the idea is retired.
06/08/08
I spent most of the film's 148 minutes just wanting to slap these women because I grew weary of their whining.
06/08/08
The film is raw, sentimental and outrageously materialistic - just as a true fan would hope and expect it would be.
06/08/08
While he's let the movie run to excessive length, the well-practiced Parker King (throwing in more brand names than you will find in a Myers catalogue) knows what his target audience wanted from this reunion.
06/07/08
I had to wonder what happened to the qualities that made the show famous: the outrageous dialogue, the sense of female camaraderie, the embrace of casual sex as a guiltless pleasure.
06/07/08
The pacing barely ever breaks out of a light plod. And the writing is very, very average.
06/07/08
This movie has generated record excitement in just about every woman of my acquaintance.
