Editorial Review:

As light and frothy as the Vivienne Westwood wedding gown that's an unofficial fifth star, the film version of Sex and the City is both captivatingly stylish and sweetly sentimental. Viewers who loved hanging with Carrie Bradshaw and her three pals during the series' TV run will feel as though no time has passed. Except that it has: Carrie and Big are poised to make a Big Commitment; Miranda and Steve are facing the breakup of their wonderful family; Charlotte and Harry have added to their brood; and Samantha (are we sitting down?) has been devoted to hunky Smith for five full years. Still, in all that time, the women's style, conviviality, and appetite for bons mots have only grown. When practical attorney Miranda learns that Carrie is considering moving in with Big (in possibly the coolest apartment in Manhattan), she can't help but frown in that but-you-might-lose-everything way. Carrie's retort: "For once, can't you feel what I want you to feel--jealous?!"

The cast is spot-on, as always. Sarah Jessica Parker is effortless as the angst-ridden yet practical, stylish yet vulnerable Carrie. Kim Cattrall is deliciously decadent as Samantha, but she's wiser now and knows herself and her needs for a real relationship. Kristin Davis, as Charlotte, has quietly become the most gorgeous among the beauties, her sleek presence both winsome and sophisticated. And Cynthia Nixon (Miranda) shows nuance as a woman torn between betrayal and grudging hope. Supporting roles include Candice Bergen as the Vogue editor who anoints Carrie "The Last Single Girl in New York," and Jennifer Hudson, as a starry-eyed, ambitious romantic who represents the new generation of SATC women. Through it all, New York is a benevolent cocoon that envelopes and nurtures the women and their friendships and careers. No matter that none of them appears to have any semblance of "real" family; as long as they have each other, and Manhattan, all will be right with their world. --A.T. Hurley

If you’ve been yearning for all those girly chats, sassy lines, fabulous outfits and parade of Blahniks and Choos-- don't despair -- the fab four have catwalked their way into a feature film. At long last, Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha are back. They're older, wiser and wittier, but have times really changed, and importantly, will Carrie get her fairytale ending with Mr Big?

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 fashions from the industry's biggest names such as Zac Posen, Louis Vuitton, and, of course, Manolo Blahnik, and their gorgeous clothes--and accessories--threaten to steal the show. But for fans of the series' wit, drama, and sex, there's plenty to like in this romantic comedy filled with familiar characters. Though four years have passed since the events of the series, not much has changed as the film begins: Carrie and Mr. Big (Chris Noth) are happy as they search for an apartment, Charlotte (Kristin Davis) is blissful with her husband (Evan Handler) and adopted daughter, Samantha (Kim Cattrall) is still with actor Smith Jerrod (Jason Lewis), and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) is trying to balance life as a mother, wife, and lawyer as she lives in Brooklyn with Steve (David Eigenberg). But Carrie and Big's apartment hunt leads them down the road to marriage, and the destination may not be quite everything Carrie hoped for.
Though the film runs nearly two and a half hours, it flies by the way a marathon of episodes would for the devoted. Even minor characters from the show--Vogue editor Enid Frick (Candice Bergen), beloved Carrie pal Stanford Blatch (Willie Garson), and hyper wedding planner Anthony Marentino (Mario Canton)--make fan-pleasing appearances. SEX AND THE CITY is full of glitz, glamour, and giggles, but be sure to have a tissue nearby. These characters have become like friends to fans, and it's tough not to tear up when things don't go exactly as they'd hoped.

• SATC satisfaction guaranteed
  Saw this with good friends and totally recommend it to all fans. Ticks all the boxes, lights all the lights, and culminates beautifully in a satisfying conclusion.
  The girls (along with their fans) have rightfully moved along in time yet maintain their characters. So you have the perfect combination of the nostalgia value of visiting with old friends together with the freshness of an up-to-date story to sink your emotional teeth into. There is genuine plot tension, drama and tender emotion tempered... more info

• SATC-LICIOUS
  As a massive fan of the show, I was so, so excited to see this movie and it far exceeded my already mile high expectations!
  I don't expect many people who aren't fans and worshippers of the show to love it, because if you haven't felt Carrie's happiness and pain the same way as the fans have during those seasons then you won't care about her marriage to Big and her, our, el all of our shoe/fashion love.
  Put simply, this movie is brilliant and I wouldn't have it any other way. I will certainly be... more info

• So disappointed!
  I was so disappointed with this film. I adored the series but felt that all the aspects that made the TV series great were sadly missing in the film. The bit where Carrie sorts out her clothes and then begins the most boring, cringeworthy fashion show was just dreadful. This film was mainly about the girls squealing at each other and fashion. Where was the character development? I'm not surprised Kim Cattral took so long to sign up because her storyline was crap, as was Charlotte's and to a lesser degree... more info

• if you loved the tv series, don't watch this
  I was a devoted follower of SATC as it aired during the nineties. As a single woman struggling with many of the issues arising out of modern life and post-feminism, it spoke to me on many levels through all 4 female characters. The fashion wasn't bad either!
  The film, however, has dumped all pretense of giving any of the four female leads anything as important as character, never mind the character of the parts they played in the series. Instead, they exist as pastiches of their old selves, focused on... more info
