Synopsis: 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... [More]

I walked into the theatre hoping for a nice evening and came out as a hard-line Marxist, my head a whirl of closets, delusions, and blunt-clawed cattiness. All the film lacks is a subtitle: The Lying, the Bitch, and the Wardrobe.
Top CriticWhy get the band back together if you’re not going to add some new songs to the greatest hits?
Top Critic...after two and a half hours with these ladies, I've decided that I like them.
Though graced with far more sitcom laughs than real wit, the glorified soap opera is entertaining enough to be worth your while.
An estrogen-fueled salute to the virtues of excess, if that's your Gucci bag.
To its voracious universe of cult-following fans, it feels like a TV marathon that spans an entire season. To everyone else who bats an indifferent eye, all the glam and glitz has something even for you to learn, too.
As someone who failed to appreciate the 'Sex and the City' TV series, I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed this movie celebration of friendship.
... a deeply satisfying wrap-up to a series that always had, in its heart of hearts, a lot more depth than the Manolo Blahniks it dressed itself up in.
It's nice to see the girls again, but this "City" seems oddly smaller than it did when it ran on HBO. In the end, a more accurate title would have been "Strife in the City." These women, after all, aren't having much sex.
While most guys might opt for something more down to earth like Jackpot Bowling, I liked Sex and the City.
What do "Sex and the City," ABC's "The View," and Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor" have in common? Give up? They are full of babbling, only occasionally coherent, women.
Neither a classic for all time nor a [disaster], Sex and the City is the very definition of a decent summer blockbuster--entertaining and entirely disposable.
an honest and consistent continuation of the show
There is a strange correlation between Carrie's hair color and the quality of the movie. When she dyes it brown, it reminds you no one should have asked what brown can do for her.
The big screen isn't the ideal environment for the show.
Yes, it's unnecessary, but the joy of Sex and the City is that it is eminently entertaining and fun.
I felt like some sort of alien anthropologist watching this movie... I don't see myself or the women that I know in them. Not at all. Not in the tiniest degree.
The reunion is fun and predictably fabulous but the movie eventually totters on its expensive Manolo Blahnik's, trying to stay upright for too long, gorging on too much of a good thing. Fun and frothy as it is, fleet of foot it's not.
Certainly series devotees will find the return of the four ladies to be gift from Blahnik heaven, but the uninitiated would be best advised to bring along a cyanide pill to end this horror show quickly and painlessly.
... feels like watching an entire season of shoe love, true love and everything in between -- all crammed into one loooooooooong sitting.
