  • Starring: Cynthia Nixon, Kim Cattrall, Sarah Jessica Parker
  • Summary: Carrie Bradshaw, successful author and everyone’s favorite fashion icon-next-door, is back, her famously sardonic wit intact and sharper than ever, as she continues to narrate her own story about sex, love and the fashion-obsessed single women in New York. Sex and the City finds Carrie, Samantha, Charlote and Miranda four years after the hit HBO series ended, as our favorite friends continue to juggle jobs and relationships while navigating motherhood, marriage and Manhattan real estate.

    The best American movie about women so far this year, and probably the best that will be made this year.

    Unfortunately, where episodes of the series used to take their cue from a question posed by one of Carrie's columns, writer-director Michael Patrick King never finds that focus, and Sex and the City loses its tart edge in the process.

    Feels like it was written and directed by an audience focus group in Omaha?

    For any SATC fan, and/or for any gay boy who grew up watching it and made it his religion, this movie is of cult status. It's probably not the best movie that could've been made especially given the amount of time the producers have had after the show ended. Still, I believe it to be a very decent production. It has it's moments - Carrie in the powder room in Mexico, or Charlotte's "NO! NO!" reaction. With those moments, the movie gets to you when you feel bored, and you have every right to given the movie's length. Still, I have to give it a ten - I have too much sentiment to the original series.… Expand

    Excessive eye candy with the most self absorbed, materialistic, vapid script ever written. I was actually a fan of the series but this one did the show's legacy no favors.… Expand

    I thought I'd check the hype around this movie. I was sorely disappointed. Having not watched a single episode of the wildly popular tv show, I do not understand what was the big deal about the lives of four self-absorbed women living in New York City. I caught myself saying out loud several time...what the hell is all this nonsense?? At least I can understand why this show/movie is popular among women - the lives that the characters lead are purely self-indulgent, fictional and silly....but people will always have their dreams.… Expand
