I wanted to but couldn't!

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I'm one of those males who actually likes this show...because I think I know how I have to view it and what to expect. I've read the(mostly bad) reviews about SATC - The movie. They mostly address the consumerism, the over-the-top-acting, the surreal situations or how annoying some characters are. But that's exactly what the show was about too:)! Carrie is a selfish, annoying prick who doesn't learn any lessons(in the movie, she actually does!) who always wants what she can't have and if she has it, she doesn't want it. Mr. Big(whom I respected for treating her the way she deserves it almost until the end) has folded and it's really hard to believe that either him or Aidan would ever be with a woman like Carrie. Her whole mindset seems to be stuck in her teens with her life all just being about parties, dresses and shopping. Charlotte is the whiny, annoying woman she was on the show too who's super-fussy about almost everything, but at least somehow learns that that's not how the world works. She kind of gets her punishment down in Mexico though;). Miranda and Samantha were the two characters in the show who were the least hypocritical(although Miranda had a few good of those moments too) and in the movie, Miranda does come off as quite the hypocrite, taking over Carries role(maybe for her to shine?). The way she behaves after what happens with her and her husband seems more fit for Charlotte or Carrie, not necessarily her, a woman who proposed over 3-Dollar-Beers(as she had put it). Samantha, being 10 years older than the other actresses in real life and on the show shows some depth and growth by still being with Jarrod Smith and not cheating on him. Sadly, it seems as if the movie focuses a bit too much on Carrie(but so did the show in the later seasons and it didn't work so well there either).But despite all that, I feel that the movie itself works as one long episode of the show. The feeling and atmosphere is basically the same, we have some very beautiful shots of New York(the New Years scenes!) and I was surprised that unlike most movies that come out years after a first part(or in this case show), they stayed so close to the atmosphere. It just feels like it should, in my opinion. Maybe people forgot the show or didn't watch it front-to-back before seeing the movies like I did...maybe they forgot what a selfish §$% Carrie is...so maybe they feel shocked about that and that's why they hate it? Or they only now realize how ridiculously overdrawn some characters are?But to me, that was always the fun of this show...I love to watch it cause I love to hate Carrie Bradshaw/Preston. And I laugh each time, thinking that millions of women saw this show, seriously thinking such a person could actually be a role model. I often thought that the shows creators really did a number on women with this show actually...it does seem like it's all pro women(and especially in the early seasons, the guys come off as jerks or morons), but I think the show was meant to show us that BOTH sides have a lot of flaws and there's a lot of hypocrisy on either side. I give Sex and the City a strong 6. It's the kind of movie you can watch as your guilty pleasure or to make your girlfriend happy and I've seen far worse movies than this one. I think if you loved the show, you should still be able to thoroughly enjoy the movie:)!

Sex and the City (2008): Dir: Michael Patrick King / Cast: Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattral, Cynthia Nixon, Kristen Davis, Chris Noth: Spectacular chick flick about romance, relationships and the struggle to maintain them. It chronicles four women who have been friends for years. Fashion editor Sarah Jessica Parker is preparing for her wedding only to be left at the alter. Kim Cattrall is in Hollywood dating a young actor. Kristen Davis exercises and is expecting her first child. Cynthia Nixon learns that her husband had an affair and struggles to forgive. Surprisingly well written with director Michael Patrick King going above the successful TV program. Parker shines as a woman at home in fame and fashion but still feels a void where love departed. It seems to be the one thing she hasn't mastered. Cattral is the ultimate cougar seducing young men as if to revisit youthfulness herself. Nixon lives in denial and struggles with resentment. Davis is about to enter the stage of motherhood. Chris Noth plays Parker's fiancé and the process is trying as he struggles to bring this woman down to normality and routine. Fans of the successful TV show will not be disappointed yet the film can easily appeal to those unfamiliar with it simply because it takes its message seriously. It becomes an insightful view into romance and marriage and the transformation between the two. Score: 10 / 10

A guilty favourite for sure. I remember the first time I saw this being surprised by how good it was. I went in not expecting much as I didn't think there was enough material based on a simple TV show to warrant a two and half hour long movie about shoes and sex. But this sucked me right in with surprising depth to all the converging stories of the girls (and their boys) while covering a host of real life issues.My only problem would be the excessive wealth all the characters seem to have amassed "that pillow cost 400 dollars", the apartment Big buys and outfits with a gynormous closet, Carrie's Vera Wang wedding dress, her new assistant. It was fantastical, which may have been just the point. This is a fantasy.Ultimately if you're a fan of the HBO series than you will love this, its funny, sad, frustrating and will have you cheering with some great HEA's (although I wouldn't have been able to forgive ---...again, but what a moment) 12.30.13

On the next season of Sex and the City (1998-2004), Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) is about to marry Mr. Big (Chris Noth) but is jilted at the wedding. Samantha (Kim Cattrall), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) take her on the honeymoon she should have had in Mexico, then she rebuilds her life. Meanwhile Samantha gets used to the challenges of relationship life, Cynthia's bo cheats on her and puts their marriage in jeopardy and Charlotte gets pregnant! Guest starring Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson and Academy Award nominee Candice Bergen.Yes it reads like the back of a Season 7 DVD packet back because Sex and the City (2008) is just that, another season of the highly celebrated HBO TV Show masquerading as a movie. That in itself, would probably be enough to entice its primary audience and to you I say kudos. Read no further, go enjoy yourselves…are they gone? Ugh. If I may be honest, I liked the four episodes of the show I watched. While I am far from the primary demographic here, I found it kind of refreshing that a show taking place in upscale New York City circa 1998 could conjure up such interesting if vapid characters. That and before Game of Thrones (2011-Present) and The L Word (2004-2009), it was a premium cable show not afraid to show some skin. Plus is it possible for a straight man to find Mario Cantone hilarious? You're darn right! But come on! Was this movie really necessary? The only fathomable reason for this useless, listless piece of chintzy trash to exist is to give anthropologists an ironic before picture of the 2008 financial meltdown. Four aging (but still fabulous, fabulous I say!) women walking around in designer clothes complaining about their dreary upper-crust life, blissfully unaware of the possible hurdles they will have to face in a few months time. If this were real New York, ground zero for the Great Recession, Carrie would be selling her Dolce Gabana pumps for a hot meal. Miranda would be divorced because finances are a bigger reason for divorce rates than fidelity and Charlotte would be on food stamps. So much for happy endings where people find sweet, sweet, love in the big city.This movie attempts to be about love but it really isn't about love at all. If it were it wouldn't have been nearly as episodic or emotionally unaffecting. No this movie is a blatant attempt to cash in on the franchise; calmly stroking the back of those still holding on to Carrie's heyday adventures as if they can live vicariously through the popular author and her sisterhood of traveling mini skirts. Oh, it would be so nice to be able to pay for two different upscale apartments in Manhattan and still have enough cash to hire a token black assistant but as the credits role did you really get any value from this movie? Anything other than the feeling of déjà vu and amnesia I got while watching Sex and the City? I really do feel as if I have forgotten this before.The movie ends in probably the best way it could have. The four girls walking into an exclusive looking club wearing top-line dresses. They sit and enjoy the eldest of the four's 50th birthday with a small cake and martinis as younger women pass by. While the sentimental and the already converted might see this scene as a blissful farewell/passing of the torch, I see it differently. While the ladies toast to the next 50 years, one thought screamed in my head repeatedly "You're old!"http://theyservepopcorninhell.blogspot.com
