Reviews for Sex and the City - The Movie
Top CriticEnjoyable big-screen sequel to the much-loved TV show that won't disappoint fans, thanks to strong performances and a script that is both moving and laugh-out-loud funny.
05/29/08
Essentially there are four complete rom-coms here, which will delight series fans. And probably no one else.
05/29/08
It has more than enough sass, style and sentiment to keep the faithful satisfied. Add a star if you’re a fan.
05/27/08
Top CriticIt did about as much as I could hope for. It gives all four of its main characters plenty to do, it pays tribute to what's best about the series and it gives us another chance to spend time with people we thought we might never see again.
05/30/08
To its voracious universe of cult-following fans, it feels like a TV marathon that spans an entire season. To everyone else who bats an indifferent eye, all the glam and glitz has something even for you to learn, too.
05/31/08
... as comfortable and as decadent as sitting on the sofa with a big bowl of chocolate chip cookie dough.
05/26/08
time ticks by easily like a lazy TV marathon, a humbler achievement than demanded by a diva flick that's as self-congratulatory as Indy across the multiplex
05/29/08
Judged by the standards of its original medium, the movie version succeeds just as well, cramming what used to take a whole season into a nearly 2 1/2 -hour marathon of men, misery and Manolos.
05/29/08
In this film, the clothes and the city are characters as vital as the four leads, and they don't disappoint.
05/29/08
As someone who failed to appreciate the 'Sex and the City' TV series, I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed this movie celebration of friendship.
05/31/08
The fact of the matter is that this review doesn't matter.
05/29/08
This celebration with Carrie & Co. — very much television writ large — seems precisely the Sex and the City reunion the show's fans had hoped for.
06/02/08
The film is by no means a masterpiece, but it's a worthy exercise in indulgence that won't disappoint the cosmo-swilling core audience. And fans won't need to swill any cosmos to enjoy it.
05/30/08
Sex and the City, the movie, feels like a glorified television episode in the best possible sense - utterly unchanged in spirit from its small screen roots yet just ambitious enough to validate its big screen adaptation.
05/30/08
SATC offers well-developed characters, smart dialogue, interesting plots and sub-plots, and a ton of heart.
05/30/08
A vision of which doesn't require its characters being frozen in amber after a fairy tale ending and allows life to go on, happily and unconventionally.
05/30/08
Top CriticFrothy as a Margarita and just as salty, Sex and the City all but mambos its way onto the screen.
05/29/08
A big, sloppy, gooey sundae of a film that is, for better or for worse, just like the show ... only longer.
05/29/08
More power to Sex's creative team for making the girls' return so assuredly what the punters wanted.
