MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Danii Disaster I saw the movie when it first came out, and thought it was great. Now, however, having re-watched it, I see many a flaw.First of all, Carrie, who has always been a bit of a drama queen and is a life-long over-reactor, is worse than ever in this movie. She is also more selfish than ever. To be honest, I really don't blame Big for not wanting to marry her. To top it off, she blames Miranda for "ruining her marriage". The cheek! The way she goes on and on for months like it's the end of the world... it's pathetic.And they could've come up with something other than "baby, turn around, let me see you" - that was corny as hell and made Big look like a big crybaby.I see that a lot of people have a problem with Jennifer Hudson's performance... Weird, because I didn't see anything wrong with it. If anything, to me, she was the most "normal" (as in "natural") person in the movie. It's one thing that her lines were somewhat lame, but there was nothing wrong with her acting.I have always had issues with that Italian gay dude (Charlotte's wedding planner turned BFF). What an obnoxious f***wit; not to mention one of the lousiest actors ever. That guy was annoying in the sitcom, and totally crossed the line in this movie. I'm sure the movie would've actually been much better without his presence.Miranda and Steve... urgh, when did Miranda become so moody, illogical, and emotional? We already have one drama queen (Carrie); there was no need to turn Miranda into one.Charlotte, my least favourite character, was worse than ever here. Kristin Davis's over-acting has been hard to endure throughout the series, but now she's really crossed the line. She was beyond annoying in this movie. Her character is supposed to be cute, funny, and somewhat naive, but, sadly, Kristin Davis totally fails to capture the essence of Charlotte and end up being nothing more than just utterly annoying. It's no wonder she's friends with that obnoxious Italian dwarf - they're both equally bad (at pretty much everything, including acting). And it doesn't help that she drags that Mandarin kid everywhere she goes; I was surprised she didn't pack her to Mexico. Annoying, annoying, annoying. Everything about Charlotte was annoying in this movie.Samantha was the only one I wasn't disappointed with, although I didn't "get" the weight-gain sub-plot. I didn't see any extra weight on her at all, and I thought the way the girls were mocking her for this supposed weight-gain was totally ridiculous. She was fabulous, as always.All in all, not a bad movie, but a lot of things were overly exaggerated and over-dramatized, which just made the characters' annoying traits appear worse than they were supposed to be.

SnoopyStyle Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) is still unmarried to Mr. Big (Chris Noth). After 3 books and 3 years, they are searching for the perfect apartment. Charlotte (Kristin Davis) is happily married to Harry Goldenblatt (Evan Handler) with an adopted Chinese girl. Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) has settled in Brooklyn with Steve (David Eigenberg) and their son Brady. Samantha (Kim Cattrall) is in L.A. with Smith Jerrod (Jason Lewis) who is now a superstar. The gang reunites often to spend time together. Carrie is concerned about selling her place to move in together and they agree to get married. However the wedding gets out of hand when Vogue's Enid Frick (Candice Bergen) wants to make Carrie 'The Last Single Girl'.I didn't watch the TV show and this is not aiming for me as an audience. I do like the women's chemistry and their friendship. Carrie and Mr. Big's struggles provide a bare backbone to this movie. It's still perfectly watchable for non-fans but it's probably much more compelling for true fans. The girl talk is fun... sometimes. The drama is light glossy for the most part punctuated by big reversals. For me, this is a 6 but that's just for me.

ithinkimdeck 'Sex and the City,' based on the hilarious, poignant HBO comedy series of the same name, is grossly insulting. In a strong divorce from the series, the movie picks up five years after the series finale - where we find out that each one of the characters have become vapid, soulless versions of their former selves. Now, writer Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), and her friends Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon), Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), and Charlotte Goldenblatt (Kristen Davis) walk around New York obsessing over shoes, handbags, and love. Carrie Bradshaw was, at the end of the show, an independent woman - not the needy girl she started out as. The movie turns it's back on Carrie's development as a character, shaping her into the stock romcom lead. Think Katherine Heigl with no charm. She is now painfully unfunny, shallow, and quite possibly retarded. She spends the first half the film setting herself up to have the man whom supposedly loves her jilt her - which he does. The second half of the film, Carrie spends complaining about literally everything, dying her hair brown, and discussing bags and love with a painfully useless, annoying Jennifer Hudson, as Carrie's new assistant Louise from Saint Louis.CARRIE: "Louise from Saint Louis. Oh you brought me back to life." LOUISE: "And you gave me, Louise Vuitton." Yes the writer of "The Real Me" and "A Woman's Right To Shoes" actually wrote this garbage.Lawyer Miranda is now a frigid shrew who swats her deadbeat husband away like a fly every time he tries to get near her - and spends the entire 2.5 hours complaining about how marriage changed her, it made her move to Brooklyn. She is no longer likable, funny, or smart.Meanwhile, housewife Charlotte spends the 2.5 hours prancing around like a little girl, screaming at the top of her lungs, and carrying her confused, Asian daughter around like a dog in a handbag. The problem with continuing Charlotte's storyline on the show is her storyline came to the only logical conclusion it could have had at the end of the show. Now, it' just a retread through old territory. Davis is ultimately given a thankless role in this film. However, it is Samantha who is given the most honest adaptation. While certainly a cartoon version of her former self, Samantha's story revolves around her inability to maintain a monogamous relationship - despite being very much in love. However the payoff is ultimately ruined as Samantha is no longer human. This incarnation of 'Sex' is so incredibly shallow - it basically acts a prop to advertise luxury goods. The most obvious scenes to illustrate this are when Carrie tries on designer wedding dresses for a Vogue shoot, which goes on for an excruciating 10 minutes, followed closely by Carrie and co. going through her closet trying to decide what to take to her new apartment with husband-to-be Big (Chris Noth). The scene is ultimately pointless as she is moving to a closet that is 10 times to the size - which, if you can imagine it - is actually a plot point in a film that will make you feel compelled to throw out every designer label you own. The show was about the importance of following your own trajectory, and self actualization. The film abandons this concept.

tay-sedai Every time I watch the Sex and the City movie (which is quite often, really), I finish up with the same question: Why is everyone so mad at Miranda for leaving Steve?Steve cheated on her. To me, that's the biggest betrayal possible besides, I dunno, him hurting her kid physically somehow. I don't get why her friends are always trying to get her to go back to him, to consider forgiving him, etcetera. I mean, they should know that it might be possible in future for her to forgive him...but why the pressure to do it quickly?At one point, Charlotte asks Miranda: "Are you sure you can't give him another chance?" and then somebody (perhaps Miranda?) says, "What about Carrie? Do you think she should forgive Big?" and Charlotte exclaims, "NO! Of course not!" because, um, Big left her at the altar. Yeah, that was bad, but was it as bad as cheating on her with another woman?I'm not saying that one should never forgive something like that. I'm just saying that I think these ladies have some weird priorities. And I think it's weird that Miranda's friends would encourage her to put up with being so horribly disrespected, but never entertain the thought that Carrie could forgive Big for the public humiliation of jilting her. I guess at least Steve didn't humiliate Miranda in public, right?I just don't get it, and perhaps I never will.BUT...I still love this movie...way, way more than I love the second one (i.e. I don't love that at all).
