"The moral of the story is, If you try to pollute the New York Public Library with your frou-frou, something terrible will happen." - Jessica Zafra
Bad or good, if you are a fan of the series - you just have to see the movie. And fortunately, this movie spin-off doesn't end up totally badly. What can we expect, anyway, from a big franchise such as this? Product placements all over, no less, like it's the designer names' and Vogue's field day. Three years after the series finale, somebody has got to make up for an update in today's couture via our four beloved girls. In an over-the-top-it's-almost-in-bad-taste way, that is. Honestly, during the first half of the movie, I was ready to walk out if I saw another Pucci-whatever print dress, pair of oversized hoop earrings or ankle boots. If these girls have enough money to wear labels, couldn't they have bought something appropriate yet equally fabulous for the trip to Mexico? I am very disappointed in that red dress Miranda wore... I mean, to a resort, dear? I thought the character was much more sensible than that.
My version of the Jessica Zafra moral lesson is - "make your wedding day all about the dress, and you bring it upon yourself if that's all you stand next to at the altar." I'm not going to lecture about materialism because this movie is obviously not about moral lessons anyway, but it's just that the first half reminded me a lot about why I never liked Carrie Bradshaw in the series until she got her karma in Berger. When she took off her glasses in front of the mirror in Mexico, I wanted to say, "Girl, you should've spent as much money on anti-ageing creams as on your Manolo Blahniks, 'cause I think Big got scared seeing a preview of the future."
And so as her karma unfolded, the movie, too, started to redeem itself, with its focus on relationships. The writers seemed to have gained the upper hand over merchandising department this time. The new character Louise was a fresh touch. I liked the parallelism in Carrie and Miranda's fight and the latter's relationship with Steve. And the tear-inducing scenes that make it the quintessential chick flick have totally overshadowed the predictable happy ending for every character (yes, including Javier and Anthony) in the movie.
Predictable, yes, but it is what we came to the theater for - to see our modern day heroines remind us about the value of friendship and forgiveness and being your own self, whether you live in the city or not.

I loooooove sex and the city the show; i thought it was funny and still is one of my fave shows. and of course like any other fan i was excited to know a movie was in the works. the final product however...not as great as i expected.
First off, i don't think Carrie and big should be married. I think the show spent its entire series showing how, at the end of the day, these two people were just not the marrying kind. And after being together for 10 years all of a sudden, on a random day of the week, Big (of either one, he is the most shocking to suggest it) just throws out the idea of getting married--and then is the one that calls it off! I think a better storyline for them would have been to stay happily coupled and adopt. I also would have liked to have seen more about their relationship day to day. The whole movie for them was basically the planning of their wedding, them breaking up and then in the last 20 minutes getting back together...I don't even know if they had that great of a relationship to begin with seeing as how the series ended with them back together. I would have liked to see how their relationship improved, if at all, from the roller coaster it was on the series in more than just a few scenes of them looking at a house and reading in bed.
Miranda and Steve's problems were predictable if you know anything about Miranda. Not saying that Steve was justified but Miranda getting consumed with work and neglecting her husband didn't feel that far from conceivable.
Samantha didn't even seem like herself anymore! This was a woman that prided herself on her fabulosity and glamour but in the movie, she lets herself go by gaining weight? As I recall, she wanted a boob job on the show! And true Samantha would have NEVER let that hot neighbor tease her like that ESPECIALLY while her and Smith were having problems. And speaking of Smith, he seemed like such a sincere, down to earth guy on the show but I guess the fame he acquired changed him, showering Samantha with expensive gifts instead of support and acting like a complete jerk after blowing off valentines day! (and walking in with a box of chocolates? c'mon, if you're this big star with all this money and obviously can afford to buy her expensive jewelry on any other occasion, it did not seem realistic that of all days, valentines day, all he would have thought of was some candy!) And speaking of valentines day--Samantha going through those lengths for any man? Not believable. And then waiting up for him like a disgruntled housewife? The Samantha I knew would have got all dolled up and went out looking for a new guy at a hot, new club once Smith screwed up.
And Charlotte....I don't have anything to say for her character cause the script didn't give her much. It seemed kind of forced that she would be pregnant all of a sudden after the drawn out storyline during the series of her struggles with conceiving. And am I the only one that doesn't think that the toddler lily looks like a believable older version of that picture Charlotte had from the series finale?
And I keep reading comments about how people are confused by Anthony and Stanford becoming friends which I agree with but I was also more confused by the disappearance of Standford's boyfriend Marcus. If i'm not mistaken, didn't they end the series with them still together? But in the movie, all of a sudden he's gone and now Stanford has grown closer with someone he hated on the show. I admired the fact that SATC included a gay storyline in the series with Stanford and his relationships along with the heterosexual ones with the girls and was interested to see how they would continue that with the movie, hoping that Stanford and Marcus would still be together proving that gay relationships can be just as long-lasting and fulfilling as straight ones (especially given the continued struggle the gay community has with proving the validity of their bonds and trying to legalize gay marriage). But they gave Stanford, or any gay character for that matter, nothing and I was disappointed in that.
Also, yes we all know that fashion was a character on the show but it was a between the lines placement, i felt. It seemed like just a normal part of their lives, naturally occurring but in the movie it was definitely forced. The part about Carrie's involvement in that Vogue article seemed like the movie's way of giving her an excuse to dance around in labels for a photo shoot--we get it, she loves clothes--and did she really need to tell us all the designers who made them? Did they give some type of incentive for having a mention in the movie, because that's how it felt to me. And how perfect that she gets to keep one of the dresses for her own wedding--again, a moment that I felt was fake and was forced.
Jennifer Hudson's character was fresh as everyone agrees but I don't know if I was comfortable ... Read More
