Plots(1)
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 fashions from the industry's biggest names such as Zac Posen, Louis Vuitton, and, of course, Manolo Blahnik, and their gorgeous clothes - and accessories - threaten to steal the show. But for fans of the series' wit, drama, and sex, there's plenty to like in this romantic comedy filled with familiar characters. Though four years have passed since the events of the series, not much has changed as the film begins: Carrie and Mr. Big (Chris Noth) are happy as they search for an apartment, Charlotte (Kristin Davis) is blissful with her husband (Evan Handler) and adopted daughter, Samantha (Kim Cattrall) is still with actor Smith Jerrod (Jason Lewis), and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) is trying to balance life as a mother, wife, and lawyer as she lives in Brooklyn with Steve (David Eigenberg). But Carrie and Big's apartment hunt leads them down the road to marriage, and the destination may not be quite everything Carrie hoped for. (New Line Cinema)

After a long time, a film that really surprised me. I didn't expect anything from it. I figured it would be about four hysterical, sex-crazed women gossiping about nothing. And lo and behold! The only thing that came true was the sex:-) ... No hysteria, no bullshit. It's a story about women who have problems like many others and solve them like many others. The framework and plot of the film are solid, the cast is well chosen. The whole film was complemented by an amazing musical score and I never thought I'd say this, but for a comedy, the cinematography is also unusually impressive. The script was rich and the scenes shuffled from cliché to original and back again. All in all, one big surprise and I don't regret spending over two hours watching it at all. You rarely see such a parade of gorgeous and bizarre dresses.

The first Sex and the City film focuses primarily on the wedding between Carrie and Mr. Big, and it would have been rather unambitious to give them a happy ending halfway through, so it was necessary to go through two ceremonies, expectations, disappointments, etc. It's been 4 years since the end of the series and there was thus room for a lot of explanation about how everyone has moved on in life, the state of the families, and the current relationships of the main group. The film was a treat for fans of the series and really didn't need to be seen by anyone else. It's a frilly kitsch full of emotion, but at the same time, it's a major flick that also wants to offer attractive exteriors and be flashy. Libido and friendship were tested and eventually strengthened on all fronts. At the time, the film’s reception was very tumultuous, but today, both films can be seen as a certain form of satisfaction that helped the subject matter live on.

If I set aside the well-made first thirty minutes, the occasional funny moment and ingenious iPhone product placement, this shallow, superficial, tacky and protracted bit of nothing left me with less than a well-crafted trailer for any kind of movie. It’s a live-action version of Winx Club for an “adult” audience.

I've never followed the series. It popped up on TV a few times, but with the movie, from the first few minutes, I knew I didn't even want to watch the series. This isn't my cup of tea, and I absolutely don't understand how it's possible to make a film about nothing that's two and a half hours long in the director's cut. It's not a comedy because it's not funny, but it's true mainly because it's really targeted towards women. If any of you found things in it that spoke to you, so be it. Are these women really solving real problems? I don't understand and I don't get it, but one has to try it to see what is being filmed... I must say that I'm quite surprised by what actually passes as popular.

Dream world, dream fashion, dream girlfriends, dream luxury… and men. Only that "thing" can interfere with that dream life in the city. Yet you can't be without it... and that's what this dream is about. It's a great show.
