Yeah so I changed my mind...
What I liked:
- The clothes. Of course the clothes were damn fabulous! From the opening scene I just started salivating. Call it shallow but hell, Carrie even stated it from the jump. Women move to NYC to find LABELS and Love.
- The Bond of Friendship. I am so happy that the movie showed these women's friendship the way it did. The moments during Carrie's catastrophy when they each came to her side. When the movie showed Samantha feeding Carrie, that was something.
- New York City. Often referred to as the fifth woman, I loved how the city was filmed in each of the four seasons.
- I loved how the movie kinda spoofed itself in a way. There were moments that were very over-the-top and I thought that was done purposely. It was known how much of a phenomenon the movie would be so of course it should play on itself. We all knew there had to be a wedding and more importantly a wedding dress, so there you were with four dresses right in the beginning...Carrie's cliche catch phrases, " Hello, I live here."....Samantha's sexual affairs.
What I Didn't Like:
- That ugly Louis Vuitton bag Carrie bought for Jennifer Hudson's Louise. Just too much and ugly.
- Smith Jerrod ( Jason Lewis). Didn't he look kinda weird? Like something was going on with his face. Some plastic surgery or something. Weird.
- That full frontal shot. That was too much for me at ten in the morning. I understood the sex, but goodness.
- The clothes they picked for the gays. Come on now.
Overall:
I really did enjoy the movie. As a fan of the series, I took for what it was and to me it was great. I could've been a bit more invested in the movie than some others. I did hear about folks going dressed up and sipping out of Martini glasses which maybe could taken away from really getting into the movie for those individuals. The movie was fun, it was emotional, it was as honest as it could've been for the sake of the story. It was sweet.

I'd say, this review is pretty accurate relative to how I felt/feel about it. I loved the sense of independence from each-like they all had their lives together to the point that all there was to focus on WAS love & life.
I cosign.
Im Glad to see that other Brothas are Really Diggn and getting into The Sex and The City project. The film, in itself, presented an AMAZING ode to the essense of Love and the Nurturing factor of Friendship. I enjoyed the internal and external modes of connection and stability that existed between Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda. Each scene was transcendent of a Moment that created their Pasts, as the Music so perfectly blueprinted the Moods and Feelings of eevery interaction. I have not seen the movie a second time. HOWEVER, this weekend MAY present that Opportunity.
Thanx for Sharing Bro. Ill be Sure to Visit You more often.
I am glad you broke down and reviewed the film... It was just okay for me, as a fan, but my boyfriend really enjoyed it and he had never seen an episode in his life.
I agree that the scene of Samantha spoon-feeding Carrie was one of my favorite. I also loved the scene when Charlotte snapped on Big (both times, but especially right after the "wedding" when her eyes got real big with rage). Both of those moments were really touching in terms of your friends truly caring about you and having your back when you need them most.
Yeah, I still haven't seen the movie... everybody says that it is one of those must sees but I am not greatly motivated to go see it...
