it's so so long I watched in 3 parts.
this is bullshit.
do something better with your time.
If you are male it is like cspan...
Gosh. Even if you liked the TV show and think that's season 7 (and it kind of is a final season), this is really hard to watch. Doesn't work as a movie. Everything what's wrong with the TV show is amplified in this movie. Even worse, it's boring most of the time. Only the Chinese girl, Magda and the dogs are adorable. Plus, they allow an actual black person to say something meaningful. I hate that they seem to have invested about 50% of the additional budget into make-up and hair. The girls look unreal - not in a good way. It's worse than the TV show.
Too long and it's not very cinematic. It feels like multiple episodes episodes. Still, entertaining at parts.
I fell in love with the movie when it first aired and I love it still. Every woman can find a piece of her in one of the charecters or in their "life story" and it never fails to make me laugh or cry. Or both.
I watched this movie when it came out with my girlfriend at the time, having never seen the show before, and it made me feel terrible about myself, my body, and prospects for women in general. I still feel the same way in 2021, but I think I aged better than this movie did, so that's something. And there is a cute puppy and plenty of romcom tropes, if you like those.
"They say nothing lasts forever; dreams change, trends come and go, but friendships never go out of style."
I recently finished the HBO TV series and have to say the finale was so disappointing (seems to be something HBO does more often than I'd like to admit), so I thought maybe the movie brought some justice to the show that the fans deserved. After finishing this movie I can say... it did not. I almost feel like I dislike the characters more than I did after the finale. Not all characters are hard to like, but Miranda and Carrie really did their fair share of damage.
Stick to the early seasons of the show.
I had to downgrade my original rating. In my early 20s I loved this film, but now I see some glaring issues that become apparent with maturity. The film is entertaining enough, but feeds on the typical melodramatic stereotypes of shallow romcoms that the original show tried to destroy. Samantha's storyline of choosing to be true to herself is probably the only thread still linking this generic cheese fest to the superior characterization of the small screen. Some things didn't age well. I had to pause for a bit to figure out what was wrong with Sam's tummy - still looking. Carrie accusing Miranda of ruining her marriage was just rich too. Women (Carrie, Miranda, even Louise from St. Louis) who must forgive men who jilt them is the kind of backwards empowerment message I have to scratch my head at. I feel like the show that gave so much power and freedom to women, destroyed all that progress with toxic and immature romance drama of the movie. It's not horrible, but it is disappointing to the fans.
*Good fun hilarious movie and you can forget about your life while you're watching!*

Great movie - follows the same great story line as the HBO show, but they cleaned the language up a LOT. That's okay, times change, people change and if you do have little kids listening in on mommy and her friends conversations it is only appropriate that you clean your conversation up somewhat. The same wry humor is there and you can still feel the same close friendship between the "girls" that has developed over their 20 relationship.
As far as Mr. Big - I knew him and Carrie were always meant to be. I actually feel sorry for Samantha and how her relationship ends (watch the movie for that one). But Carrie and Big, yep - 2 peas in a pod....only thing I couldn't understand about him is he is such an Alpha male, so sure of himself that only a little needling can cause him to fold like a house of crepe paper cards. He is a man that knows what he wants and goes after it - so why does he run from Carrie all the time.
My last note is just a personal note that I've noticed as a trend over the last 10 years or more regarding dating and the social scene - - - using electronics as your only form of communication between each other. It freaking drives me crazy. Big didn't have Carrie's phone number because she threw her old, ancient phone into the Pacific - so he sent her emails......WTF???!!! If you really love some you don't send emails or text - you freaking go and find them and talk to them face to face. It is not that hard. I had a FWB relationship that lasted on and off for about a year and the guy never called, he only texted. It drove me nuts. In my book if you want to ask someone out you don't text them, you call! We are becoming a faceless society by texting and emailing each other when we are in the same freaking town. And this feeling isn't because I'm an old person. I'm only 48 and I love tech - - but tech has it's place and it's not appropriate to use it as the only form of communication when you are in a relationship.
My score 6/10.
i want see this movie
