After moving in together in an impossibly beautiful New York apartment, Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big make a rather arbitrary decision to get married. The wedding itself proves to be anything but a hasty affair--the guest list quickly blooms from 75 to 200 guests, and Carrie's simple, label-less wedding gown gives way to an enormous creation that makes her look like a gigantic cream puff. An upcoming photo spread in Vogue puts the event--which will take place at the New York Public Library--squarely in the public eye. Meanwhile, Carrie's girlfriends--Samantha, the sexpot; Charlotte, the sweet naïf; and Miranda, the rigid perfectionist--could not be happier. At least, they couldn't be happier for Carrie. Charlotte still has the unrealized hope of getting pregnant. Samantha is finding a loving, committed relationship more grueling than she could have imagined. Miranda unwittingly lets her own unhappiness--created when Steve admits to cheating on her just once--spoil Carrie's. After a heated encounter with Steve, she happens to spot Mr. Big and tells him he's crazy to get married. She's really only thinking of her own marriage. But her angry remark gets Mr. Big to thinking.
Leave your thoughts about Sex and the City.
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThe best American movie about women so far this year, and probably the best that will be made this year. |
| Chicago TribuneJessica ReavesMichael Patrick King's screenplay hits all the right notes, building on the warmth and familiarity of the series (which King also wrote). |
| Austin ChronicleKimberley JonesIn its cinematic incarnation, Sex and the City has lost none of its bawdiness yet gained a more profound sense of soberness. Parker, especially, who in the last season of the show bordered on insufferable in her affected squeaks and shrieks, is allowed to go to very dark places – to be, in fact, quite unfabulous. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonI felt like some sort of alien anthropologist watching this movie... I don't see myself or the women that I know in them. Not at all. Not in the tiniest degree. |
| I.E. WeeklyAmy Nicholsontime 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 |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekDevotees of the HBO series will probably flock to the movie...but anybody who's not already a fan is going to have difficulty understanding what all the fuss is about. |
| Bold Life (Hendersonville, NC)Marcianne MillerSex and the City isn't a movie per se. It's a cultural phenomenon. As a movie, it's only so-so. As an event-it's terrific. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanThe movie's beating heart is the friendship between the women, who had found some sort of happiness by the show's 2004 finale. Now they're all at a personal crossroads and need one another more than ever. |
| USA TodayClaudia PuigAmid the style, sass and sexiness is plenty of sentimentality, especially at the satisfying conclusion. |
| Los Angeles TimesCarina ChocanoCan'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. |
