terrible. the gals connection which has been the real star of the series was gone. not very funny or witty. fashion was awful. actually very racist. i was very very very disappointed. i watched the series countless times and consider myself a true die hard fan. i was actually shocked at how poorly it was done.

I was thinking ?What would happen if we never grew up, would it be funny?? No Jessica, it?s creepy. I was embarrassed for Kim Cattral. She plays Samantha, a 53 year old woman with a sex addiction that makes your skin crawl. The acting was terrible but not the fault of the cast. They are all beautiful middle age women who are asked to play twenty year old minded characters and that?s where the movie missed it mark. Sarah Jessica Parker went one to many times to the well and not only came out dry but should be embarrassed doing so.

...so there are certain things that I am just not qualified to address here.They must have been shooting for their target audience and did it successfully,judging from these reviews. I think the only woman in this little foursome with acting chops is Cynthia Nixon. Kim Cattrall's flare up towards the end when her purse broke open was really good as well. Kristin Bell has zero depth,I first saw her in Couple's Retreat and wondered who the heck she was and where were her acting skills....still the same. Watch her...BLAH. BUT...the script and Ms.Nixon's support in the scene where they were talking about motherhood was the best in the movie. Wedding in the beginning was a ridiculous waste of time,except for I learned a little about each woman. SJP---she is really unattractive and not a very good actress,but there is something yearning in her eyes and expressiveness that catches you. Parts of her 'narration' were badly written,and that's not her fault. not good if you're not a fan already.

The movie had some great parts and I love the characters of Sex in the City. I was disappointed in this movie from the point when Samantha was offered the trip, I felt as if I was watching a politcal correctness commercial about how the middle east is good, and all of that business with Miranda walking around with her book and explaining about the culture. MY personal feeling is that after 911 WHY would you take 4 New Yorkers and send them to the middle east, what a slap in the face... I probably WILL NOT purchase this one to add to my collection :( what were the writters and producers thinking?? OH wait! yes it must be that "political correctness thing!?"

If you want substance, stay home. Yes, much of the movie is NOT in NYC, but for those of us who live here, we know how important it is to get away with your friends. For those who cant fathom buying a pair of $400 shoes, this probably isn't the movie for you. If you love glitz and glamor, you'll love this movie.
