Sex And The Bored (26 November 2008)
one word boring! I really enjoyed the series sex and the city, but honestly this was so boring, the film took so long to get to the main parts. There was a few laughs and some tears, but thats about it, don't waste your money! watch the series on tele for free!

It Was Never Going To Be As Good As The Series (26 November 2008)
I think if you went to see this film with the expectation of it being able to develop a plotline for each of the 4 characters throughout the film I can understand why you would be disappointed. For me the fact that they have managed to cover anything relating to all 4 of the girls within such a short time frame was excellent.

When I watched the show I was never carried away by the designer labels and clothes, for me it was always much more about the relationship between the girls themselves and their various partners. I love the fact that we see Carrie's relationship with Big brought to a conclusion in the film - and the continuing expansion of their wedding plans was witty and showed how any girl can get carried away and become a 'Bridezilla' and the impact this can have on their relationship.

Good fun and for fans of the series a further opportunity to spend an evening with our four favourite best friends. Well worth buying.

oh dear :( (21 November 2008)
I would sincerely love to give this film 5 stars but i just cant. I'd be lying if i did. And the film isnt worth it.

Ok, like everyone else, i adored the 6 series of SATC and was sooooo looking forward to the film, but seriously, it was really frustrating to watch. in the end i was praying it would finish quickly.

The major problem for me was the fact that there just wasnt enough time to sort through all the ladies lives! like in the show, you had the whole season to reach a satisfying conclusion, not so in the film. One of the best things about the end of season 6 was that all the girls had found happiness, i was particularly fond of Miranda and Steve, but in the film, their relationship just get's blown to bits by his actions. it didnt even feel realistic, Steve would never of hurt Miranda if the series had carried on!

Another favourite couple is Charlotte and Harry. But he is barely there in the film! i was looking so forward to her getting pregnant, because of all the trouble she has had trying to concieve in her marriage to Trey, but it's like she gets pregnant, then this amazing thing barely gets a mention, then she has the baby, and it's not mentioned, and there's no big celebration with the other girls. it was a major let down. But her adopted daughter is lovely.

and Stanford and Anthony, well i dont even know what that's all about. and they are also under used. Samantha and Smith, he's also barely there. the best thing about her storyline is her cute dog.

Then there's Carrie and Big, and suprise suprise, he's messing her about again. Which had me asking the question that has stayed with me ever since the end of season 4 - Why didn't she stay with Aidan?

Apparantly, there is going to be a new SATC film, i will watch it and i will hope to high heaven it is a massive improvement on this one.

Not bad, but not great (13 November 2008)
I was a huge fan of the show. It was funny, witty, and well observed. The characters were very well rounded out.

The problem with this movie is that it feels more like a nostalgic "look at us, weren't we great" than a real continuation. I do applaud the choice to accept the passing of time and have the women older, but the whole thing feels clunky and overwrought in places. Most of the best supporting characters have been sidelined, and Jennifer Hudson's new character is unnecessary and one note (a waste of her talent). The four women seem to have been turned back into the worst and most cliched versions of themselves.

Carrie was always self absorbed, but her maudlin self pity for the whole movie is grating and over bearing rather than just one facet of a complex woman as it was on the show. She's also focussed far too much on at the expense of the other women, which the TV show wasn't half so guilty of. Samantha is underused with a weak story line (though at least its conclusion seemed very Samantha), and Charlotte is turned into a one note 'my life is perfect' type. There's zero movement with her character in the story though Kristin Davis is as lovely as ever in the part. Only Miranda is done any justice in this movie, and given how inspirational these characters were to so many women it seems criminal.

The much vaunted wedding dress and fashion show sequences just come off as self indulgent, and in general the movie just seems to lack the spunk and spark of its TV predecessor. It all feels like a slightly sloppy patische of the greatness that went before. Perhaps that's inevitable, trying to fill 2+ hours instead of a mere thirty/forty minutes? Please don't get me wrong, it's entertaining and fans of the show will enjoy it, I did, but it's not all I was hoping it would be.

A Christmas Turkey (09 November 2008)
Watched this with my partner and we both thought it was rubbish. Being gay and having a couple of glasses of wine didn't help, still thought it stank, which is a pity as we both enjoyed the series. Glad I didn't pay to see this turkey at the cinema.
