It's nice to see these women again, because they are all rich and complex characters, but it's basically a sentimental exercise, designed for maximum cash flow before the idea is retired. Full Review |
||
 |
The film is raw, sentimental and outrageously materialistic - just as a true fan would hope and expect it would be. Full Review |

3/5 |
While he's let the movie run to excessive length, the well-practiced Parker King (throwing in more brand names than you will find in a Myers catalogue) knows what his target audience wanted from this reunion. Full Review |

1.5/5 |
I had to wonder what happened to the qualities that made the show famous: the outrageous dialogue, the sense of female camaraderie, the embrace of casual sex as a guiltless pleasure. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
The pacing barely ever breaks out of a light plod. And the writing is very, very average. Full Review |

|
4/5 |
This movie has generated record excitement in just about every woman of my acquaintance. Full Review |
||
|
|
When it neglects the fizz in favour of the grit (or at least the kind of grit acceptable for Sex And The City), this femme phenomenon hits the spot. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/5 |
Here is an unashamed celebration of materialist values, an orgy of labels, brands and product placements as sinful, by implication, as the behaviour of the characters. Full Review |

|
|
Sarah Jessica Parker is the pivot for this fabulous, fun frolic in which laughter and tears are shared through thick and thin, but always with glamour and style. Full Review |

ono %u0161to je u tridesetominutnoj epizodi moglo pro%u0107i kao vrckavi dru%u0161tveni komentar u dva i pol sata se pretvorilo u praznu lju%u0161turu Full Review |

...'Yes,' she said. 'It's Star Trek for women.'... Full Review |

|
2.0/5 |
The movie Sex and the City is a heady female fantasy -- I think. I tried to snuggle up to Sex and the City, but the attempt to snuggle for two hours and 20 minutes is in itself a fantasy. Like many typical men, I'm afraid I fell asleep. Full Review |

|
|
The behemoth 145-minute running time for this lightweight romantic comedy is unforgivable, and that's only the first of this movie's problems. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
Reliving the fantasy lush life. Full Review |

|
6/10 |
I went in rooting for SATC with everything I had, and it left me a bit disappointed. Full Review |

Wouldn't it be redundant to describe the self-indulgent big-screen adaptation as similarly vapid, pointless, and poorly acted as the popular HBO show upon which it is based? Full Review |

|
4/5 |
Cinerina invites her first guest reviewer, Melanie Treco. See full review for details. Full Review |

|
1.5/4 |
What does that say when a self-admitted narcissist receives such a following? In playing the victim card so often, Sarah Jessica Parker's character is one of the most unlikable characters I've seen in a long time. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
Was this bonbon to the show's fans, four years after the "happily ever after" series finale, really necessary? Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
Plays like nothing more than a marathon viewing of an entire seventh season that should have never been made. Full Review |
