Stylish, Romantic ComedySep 10, 2009
This is actually pretty good movie - although it has a predictable ending. It continues the story of the lush life of four girlfriends from a TV Series.
Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) and her friends continue to show off beautiful dresses, shoes and purses. A fashion show that helps designers sell their clothes I am sure. Not a bad marketing idea...
The movie turns out to be an interesting romantic comedy that continues after four years have passed from the TV series. The film begins with everyone married but Carrie at 40 years of age. Carrie and Mr. Big (Chris Noth) decide to get married as a practical idea as they search for an apartment together. It should be in both of their names and each contribute equally to the costs. Carrie buys a practical dress and settles for a small wedding with 75 people. Somehow the plans snowball to a wedding with 200 guests, a designer wedding gown and a fancy location (Library with many romance novels.) Mr. Big backs out and Carrie is devastated beyond belief - same old story. Her friends Charlotte (Kristin Davis), Samantha (Kim Kattrall), and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) go down to a Mexican Resort with Carrie to help her heal and forget the man who ripped her heart out.
Carrie and friends return to their lives and sub-plots on each are shown. In the end Cinderella gets her prince, and let's hope this is the final chapter. It ends on a high note with all loose ends tied nicely.

 Good not greatSep 01, 2009
For years I have been waiting for this. I was so upset at the way the series ended,too many loose ends and everyone else seem to grow up and get a decent ending except Carrie.
I was skeptical that it would let me down by the watering down everything.But it was better than I expected ,but still mad at the way it ended.
The clothes were beautiful (esp the Oscar De La Renta Wedding gown with the red rose headband and that bright blue maid of honor dress Miranda picked out)
Jennifer Hudson also stars as Carrie's new friend and assistant, Louise from St Louis. She brought a lot of depth and variety to this movie with her small part.
Here is a few of my favorite quotes.
FAVORITE QUOTES
How often do you "Color"? (Miranda to the girls)
" I won't tell you how often, but when Big colors he rarely stays in the lines." (Carrie to the girls)
"Color? Well I can't color enough. I would color all day...everyday if I had my way I'd use every crayon in the box."(Samantha to the girls)
"Honey even if I were in jail, I wouldn't have that....situation"
PLOT (each character has their own plot)
Charlotte and Harry - have an adorable adopted daughter from China (who is Carrie's little mini me)and after years of trying Charlotte is pregnant.
Smith & Sam - have moved to Hollywood - Sam is an agent for the stars and Smith is a famous actor now. Samantha should be content , but the Antonio Banderas LOOKALIKE next door makes it really hard.
Miranda & Steve - Miranda has changed the most- all she does is work and is so busy taking care of her son and her mother in law who has dementia ,It has taken a toll on her marriage to Steve.She is much more bitter,insensitive and depressed than she ever was and possibly bit jealous that Carrie is getting married.
Carrie and Big - Carrie has written 3 successful books and is engaged to Big.She is asked by the editor of Vogue to do a wedding spread for Vogue. But Big starts to get cold feet again...
Favorite moments
Samantha laying on her coffee table naked with sushi on her private parts.
Charlotte's reaction to Carrie nonchalantly telling the girls of how Big proposed to her
Steve and Miranda on the bridge.
Bottom line
If you were a fan of the TV series ,you will love the show.It is a great movie to see with your girlfriends.(I wouldn't advise you make your boyfriend see it,the girl next to me at the theater brought her man and he kept complaining about how miserable he was.They ended up having a fight because he kept leaving to get popcorn.)
Two major quibles. Didn't like that Big has still not grown up. He has been screwing with poor Carrie's head for over 10 years and she always takes him back.Carrie deserves to be with a mature guy who makes her feel good about herself,not an self important jerk that can't make up his mind.
Also Charlotte letting her little girl hear the their private conversations. Come on now, any dummy knows their are things you can't talk about in front of three year olds.

 Oh, No No NOooo.....Aug 22, 2009
Awful. Oh what an awful movie. Did they have the same writers?? Director??? Are you Sure??? Oh this was Such a stinker.
The tv show was infinitely smarter, wittier, sharper, more romantic, more lovely, better acted, ....on and on and On.
I should have walked out. Oh! Good Point: The popcorn was good. : 9
A Sequel?? Fool me Once...

 Froth of nothingJul 14, 2009
I really didn't like this movie. Chris Noth wasn't as good as in the show and it was really empty. Carrie had gotten a simple dress for her wedding to Big and Candace Bergen had talked her into becoming the Last Single Woman in Manhattan. With the photo ops and such came a gorgeous dress that Carrie decided to wear and the wedding got way out of hand. She wore a green feather in her veil. I'm not sure what that was about. Miranda was whining about Steve being unfaithful. No surprise there. Charlotte FINALLY got a child. Samantha was the same self-centered woman she always was.
If you want to see it, rent it from Netflix like I did. Don't waste your money. It isn't worth it to own it. This is a one time viewing.
