...'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 |

Reliving the fantasy lush life. Full Review |

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 |

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 |
||
|
3/4 |
To its credit, though, the movie turns Carrie's value system, which equates "the two Ls--Labels and Love," to its advantage, and in the second half the movie achieves a nice balance between comedy and drama. Full Review |

2/4 |
It's too bad that the false sense of high heel empowerment never registers as soundly as our resident money-styling maidens look to achieve in this beleaguered City. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
Sex and the City is not a painful experience for men (or even guys), just a predictable one... Full Review |
||
|
|
Somewhere along the line, the movie version of Sex and the City got too much Botox injected into the script, and all the life was ironed out of it. Full Review |
||
|
|
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 |
||
|
|
I spent most of the film's 148 minutes just wanting to slap these women because I grew weary of their whining. 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 |
