Consensus: Sex and the City loses steam in the transition to the big screen, but will still thrill fans of the show.
Theatrical Release:28-05-2008
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]
Starring: Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis
Director: Michael Patrick King
From the running time to the plot development for each character, which grows to beating-a-dead-horse lengths in at least a couple of cases, the whole thing would have been better served by holding back a little.
King fails to grasp what he once understood: When times are hard, you don’t cry poverty. You step on the gas and give the audience a show.
One of the movie's endearing qualities is its aversion to happily ever afters. In a way, it plays like the epilogue to your standard Hollywood romantic comedy.
If you don't love to watch fashion shows and Vogue photoshoots and designer wedding planning, "Sex and the City" and its consumer-driven fantasy world may elicit little more than yawns.
King's attempt at "racial balance" pathetically backfires but at least proves useful in putting the show's inherently materialistic and supremacist ethos into sharper focus.
Hudson comes through so that you may remember her even when the popcorn is gone. If only the film itself did as well.
Sex and the City: The Movie,/i> is the cherry on top of the series, and a fitting way to say a final good-bye to Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, Charlotte, and all their men.
Carrie and Company Deliver the Same Old Song and Dance
More power to Sex's creative team for making the girls' return so assuredly what the punters wanted.
Fans of Sex and the City will love the movie version.
King whips up enough quips and emotional moments to treat the faithful to a sort of moviegoing spa.
For those who do not consider themselves to be among the Sex and the City faithful, this is a painful experience, perhaps the longest 148 minutes likely to be spent in a movie theater this year. Watching grass grow is more dramatically satisfying.
Devotees of the HBO series will probably flock to the movie...but anybody who's not already a fan is going to have difficulty understanding what all the fuss is about.
Amid the style, sass and sexiness is plenty of sentimentality, especially at the satisfying conclusion.
Beyond the shoes, the cosmopolitans and the disloyal men, Sex and the City has always been about the bond among women. At its best, the movie shows why that bond sticks.
If you loved Sex as a TV show, you'll want to check out the film because it's like attending a class reunion. It's a chance to catch up with people who meant a lot to us.
Witty, effervescent and unexpectedly thoughtful, the big-screen iteration of the HBO series stands up beautifully (and somewhat miraculously) to the twin pressures of popular expectation and critical assessment.
A movie that taps directly back into the show's primal appeal, which is the sweet, sad, saucy delight of sharing these women's company.
The four lead actresses are better than ever...costume designer Patricia Field, the 'fifth Beatle' as it were, has outdone herself.
It's all really soapy, though, with only some smidgens of substance.
