I hate, loathe and despise -- sorry to mince my words -- the movie based on the TV show.

Consensus: Sex and the City loses steam in the transition to the big screen, but will still thrill fans of the show.

Synopsis: The silver-screen version of SEX AND THE CITY is sure to inspire lust, though it may not be after its sexy male cast. Instead, Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) and her friends wear enviable... [More]

Reviews for Sex and the City - The Movie
The fans will (designer) label "Sex and the City" a hit this weekend.
05/29/08
In short, Sex and the City the movie is everything Sex and the City the show ever was, as rambling and superficial as it is cunning and loveable.
05/29/08
The only empathy I felt was for the poor men that had to put up with these ridiculous girls.
05/29/08
143 minutes of unbearably shallow characters, numerous extraneous plot threads in lieu of a central storyline and more product placements than in the "Cannonball Run" saga entire.
05/29/08
Having the story of Cinderella play a significant role in the feature introduces the deadpan irony that this version is told through the eyes of the stepsisters like a big screen version of Wicked only without the happy ending.
05/29/08
I guess I can be most useful to this weekend's potential drag-alongs: it's not excruciating. I was never more than mildly annoyed.
05/29/08
It's like playing Barbies for grown-ups.
05/29/08
ridiculous and regressive.
05/29/08
The fact of the matter is that this review doesn't matter.
05/29/08
Girly? Yes, but I liked it too.
05/29/08
Sex, even when it's not great, is still good.
05/29/08
It may have been four years since the HBO television series Sex and the City halted production of original episodes, but the characters and material are still not ready for their big-screen close-up.
05/29/08
The movie's initially brisk pacing slackens when the girls spend a holiday in Mexico that's long enough for them to cycle through an entire resort-wear collection.
05/29/08
Loaded with obvious product placement, the film should be called 'Sex and the City: The Catalog' instead of 'Sex and the City: The Movie.'
05/29/08
Ultimately, Sex And The City serves as a glitter-laced love letter to its fans, which is really all it needs to be.
05/29/08
Sex and the City, which feels like a behind-numbing six episodes strung clumsily together, could be much fun in the hands of a veteran director.
05/29/08
In both its TV and movie incarnations, the empty materialism and sincere longing for love always manage to cancel each other out, leaving behind nothing but what this started out as -- a sitcom.
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
Just as fun, sexy, and label heavy as the series.
