It did about as much as I could hope for. It gives all four of its main characters plenty to do, it pays tribute to what's best about the series and it gives us another chance to spend time with people we thought we might never see again.
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 comfortable and as decadent as sitting on the sofa with a big bowl of chocolate chip cookie dough.
time ticks by easily like a lazy TV marathon, a humbler achievement than demanded by a diva flick that's as self-congratulatory as Indy across the multiplex
Judged by the standards of its original medium, the movie version succeeds just as well, cramming what used to take a whole season into a nearly 2 1/2 -hour marathon of men, misery and Manolos.
In this film, the clothes and the city are characters as vital as the four leads, and they don't disappoint.
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.
The fact of the matter is that this review doesn't matter.
This celebration with Carrie & Co. — very much television writ large — seems precisely the Sex and the City reunion the show's fans had hoped for.
The film is by no means a masterpiece, but it's a worthy exercise in indulgence that won't disappoint the cosmo-swilling core audience. And fans won't need to swill any cosmos to enjoy it.
Sex and the City, the movie, feels like a glorified television episode in the best possible sense - utterly unchanged in spirit from its small screen roots yet just ambitious enough to validate its big screen adaptation.
SATC offers well-developed characters, smart dialogue, interesting plots and sub-plots, and a ton of heart.
A vision of which doesn't require its characters being frozen in amber after a fairy tale ending and allows life to go on, happily and unconventionally.
Top CriticFrothy as a Margarita and just as salty, Sex and the City all but mambos its way onto the screen.
Top CriticOne thing's for sure: fans of the series will lap this film up.
A big, sloppy, gooey sundae of a film that is, for better or for worse, just like the show ... only longer.
More power to Sex's creative team for making the girls' return so assuredly what the punters wanted.
Sex and the City can't live up to the HBO series, but simply having the foursome together again will be more than enough for hardcore fans.
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.
Isn't it encouraging to see that a big summer flick can be tethered to something other than a sweaty male action hero?
