Amazon.co.uk 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

SATC satisfaction guaranteed August 8, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

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 with plenty of laughs and of course fabulous fashion.

Definitely one to buy and watch often!

SATC-LICIOUS August 7, 2008
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 pre-ordering this DVD and watching it constantly, whether or not some non-fans/sarcastic critics think it is rubbish...they are WRONG.

So disappointed! July 18, 2008

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 the other 2. Where also were the supporting actors that also made the TV series great? Harry, Charlottes gay italian friend Anthony and Carrie's friend Stanford. Granted, they made brief appearances but they were exactly that, way too brief. I think SJP totally forgot what made the TV series the success that it was, a classy ensemble cast with humour, fashion and fun. The film was merely self indulgent clap trap and focused far too much on fashion without giving the characters better storlines. the biggest star in this show was indeed the Vivienne westwood wedding dress. Sadly.

if you loved the tv series, don't watch this July 14, 2008

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 their most memorable characteristic. Any bittersweet exploration of relationships between women and women or men and women is totally cast aside for a sickening storyline for Carrie and an unbelievable one for Samantha, not much of one for Charlotte and a slightly more rounded one for Miranda. There are few laughs. Everything is focussed on the fashion, fashion, fashion with oodles of name dropping and product placement. This was nicely done in the TV series but is way over-done here.

Worth The Wait! July 12, 2008

I enjoyed the series and wasn't sure if the film would work, but oh how it does! Definately a chick flick, but men laughed too! It was very funny, sad and poignant. Well worth seeing and I will buy it when released to add to the collection! Watch this with the girls, a bottle or 3 of wine, box of chocs - oh and the tissues - a good night in!
