Critic Reviews
The best American movie about women so far this year, and probably the best that will be made this year.
Read the full reviewA movie that taps directly back into the show's primal appeal, which is the sweet, sad, saucy delight of sharing these women's company.
Read the full reviewCan't rightly be called a romantic comedy in the dismal, contemporary sense, though it is at times romantic and is consistently very funny. It's also emotionally realistic, even brutal.
Read the full reviewAmid the style, sass and sexiness is plenty of sentimentality, especially at the satisfying conclusion.
Read the full reviewIt's less a movie than a delivery system for sensory pleasures, sunny romance and designer-label stuff that in real life would result in diabetic shock (or at least a ruined credit rating).
Read the full reviewUltimately, Sex And The City serves as a glitter-laced love letter to its fans, which is really all it needs to be.
Read the full reviewFor the moment, King has restored women to their rightful place in a genre that is nothing without them. But, sadly, that genre isn't romantic comedy. It's the chick flick.
Read the full reviewWriter-director Michael Patrick King, the creative force behind the show's later seasons, can't disguise the fact that the movie is basically five TV episodes strung together (only three hit the mark). But his script is more honest about aging than anything in "Indy 4."
Read the full reviewUnfortunately, where episodes of the series used to take their cue from a question posed by one of Carrie's columns, writer-director Michael Patrick King never finds that focus, and Sex and the City loses its tart edge in the process.
Read the full reviewBest in its small moments, the movie should find receptive gal pals congregating for the mother of all viewing parties.
Read the full reviewHere is a 145-minute movie containing one (1) line of truly witty dialogue: "Her 40s is the last age at which a bride can be photographed without the unintended Diane Arbus subtext."
Read the full reviewFor those who do not consider themselves to be among the Sex and the City faithful, this is a painful experience, perhaps the longest 148 minutes likely to be spent in a movie theater this year. Watching grass grow is more dramatically satisfying.
Read the full reviewAnd an attempt to address the series' endemic whiteness by adding a subaltern black character--Jennifer Hudson as Carrie's designer-bag-toting Girl Friday--is a major misfire that only underscores our heroine's oblivious entitlement
Read the full reviewI wish Ms. Parker had let that bee in her bonnet go silent, because the movie that she and Mr. King have come up with is the pits, a vulgar, shrill, deeply shallow -- and, at 2 hours and 22 turgid minutes, overlong -- addendum to a show that had, over the years, evolved and expanded in surprising ways.

GREAT, FUN MOVIE
"I never watched Sex in the City when it was on TV but decided to see what it was all about at the movie. GREAT MOVIE...really entertaining and enjoyable. I could even watch it again, and I never do that!!"
FIVE STARS...SEXTABULOUS!
"THIS IS A FABULOUS MOVIE...I COULD WATCH IT AGAIN AND AGAIN! WELL WRITTEN, THE ACTORS WERE BREATHTAKING. I LAUGHED AND I CRIED. THE BEST MOVIE I HAVE SEEN IN A REALLY LONG TIME. TWO COSMO'S UP TO THE GIRLS OF SEX AND THE CITY ALONG WITH THE CAST AND CREW! BRAVO!!"
Mediocre movie
"The movie was not great and the movie was not bad. Just mediocre. It definitely was written to make a quick buck, with less focus on a good story. The plots in the story did not really align well to the characters developed in the show. A few good laughs throughout, but overall way too long."
Nice microphones!
"Well it would have been great but during the whole movie I could see the microphones bobbing above their heads even in Mexico outside there was a big fuzzy one. It took three phone calls to the theatre to finally figure out it was the theatre's fault. Really distracted from the movie....not sure if I liked it enough to see it again"
Totally depressing!
"We had planned a girls night out and this movie totally killed the mood. It is not really funny. The actresses have aged and look old. Except for a few scenes this movie is really not worth seeing. What a desapointment!!! We were all so depressed."
0MG!
"This movie was so good. It gave everybody what they were looking and waiting for. Do you think there could be a sequel?"
SEX IN EVERY CITY VBUDM@AOL
"THIS MOVIE WAS BY FAR THE MOST FUN , WOMEN AND GAY MEN HAVE HAD IN A MOVIE THEATER IN YEARS . IT WAS SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE , I DONT CARE WHAT THE CRITICS SAY I THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT , I LOOK FORWARD TO ANOTHER REUNION.LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVED IT"
Sex and the City
"" The movie was great! Mr. Big was somewhat wimpy and the whole wedding scene was weird. On the other hand, Carrie, Samantha, Miranda went through love problems and Charlotte was herself. The movie has humor, sadness, depression, and happiness.I found the movie to be on pornographic side including male genitals and a lot of humping galore. I feel this is not made for anyone under 21. TIf you plan to take your daughter or son...think again!"
AWESOME
"FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
predictable movie.. series was good.. movie..eh... so-so
"The HBO series was hip and fresh and oh so cute and raunchy. The movie was a Hollywood they all lived happily ever after dulll, boring stretched out money maker. All the stuff that made the series fun to watch in the early years was ignored. It was if they forgot what used to make it fun to watch. I didn't like they way the script made Mr. Big out to be an indecisive, scared groom to be. Anybody that used to watch it knew Big was a take charge kind of guy.. not some scared wimp like the gay guy that wrote the script. The only truly funny part was where Carrie was interviewing personal assistants and this slightly drunk woman was applying for the job. She had a line that made you think that THAT was the kind of dialouge that made the series fun to watch. All in all a disappointing they all lived happily ever after predictable story..."
