"As someone who failed to appreciate the 'Sex and the City' TV series, I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed this movie celebration of friendship."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
B-
"The fact of the matter is that this review doesn't matter."

Bill Clark
2/5
"ridiculous and regressive."

"Certainly series devotees will find the return of the four ladies to be gift from Blahnik heaven, but the uninitiated would be best advised to bring along a cyanide pill to end this horror show quickly and painlessly."

Brian Orndorf
"A big, sloppy, gooey sundae of a film that is, for better or for worse, just like the show ... only longer."
PopMatters
Chris Barsanti
2/5
"Loaded with obvious product placement, the film should be called 'Sex and the City: The Catalog' instead of 'Sex and the City: The Movie.'"
eFilmCritic.com
Dan Lybarger
2/4
"Plays like nothing more than a marathon viewing of an entire seventh season that should have never been made."
TheMovieBoy.com
Dustin Putman
2/4
"King's attempt at "racial balance" pathetically backfires but at least proves useful in putting the show's inherently materialistic and supremacist ethos into sharper focus."
Slant Magazine

"I know this was made for the fans, but geez, was there no attempt to make it a good
film
?"

0/4
"Having the story of Cinderella play a significant role in the feature introduces the deadpan irony that this version is told through the eyes of the stepsisters like a big screen version of Wicked only without the happy ending."

"I guess I can be most useful to this weekend's potential drag-alongs: it's not excruciating. I was never more than mildly annoyed."
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov
2/4
"It's too bad that the false sense of high heel empowerment never registers as soundly as our resident money-styling maidens look to achieve in this beleaguered
City
."
Movie Eye
Frank Ochieng
C-
"Devotees 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."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
2/4
"For those who do not consider themselves to be among the
Sex and the City
faithful, this is a painful experience, perhaps the longest 148 minutes likely to be spent in a movie theater this year. Watching grass grow is more dramatically satisfying."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
2.5/4
"Bottom line the movie fails Movie Plot 101 by trying too hard. Too hard to appease its fans, too hard to color within the lines and too hard to prove that love conquers all."
Palo Alto Weekly
Jeanne Aufmuth
4/5
"Cinerina invites her first guest reviewer, Melanie Treco. See full review for details."

Karina Montgomery
B+
"an honest and consistent continuation of the show"
Film School Rejects
Kevin Carr
B+
"The four lead actresses are better than ever...costume designer Patricia Field, the 'fifth Beatle' as it were, has outdone herself."
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
"I 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."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
3/4
"
Sex and the City
never feels like a cash-in. Instead, it plays more like a labor of love for everyone involved."
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
B+
"It's like playing Barbies for grown-ups."
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
2/5
"You wouldn't spend valuable real-life time hanging out with self-absorbed idiots like this, so why on Earth would you watch a TV show (or a movie) about them?"
Film Threat
Pete Vonder Haar
1/5
"143 minutes of unbearably shallow characters, numerous extraneous plot threads in lieu of a central storyline and more product placements than in the "Cannonball Run" saga entire."
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
3.5/5
"Essentially there are four complete rom-coms here, which will delight series fans. And probably no one else."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
"The show was at its best when it offered, without a great deal of extraneous examination, these glimpses into the nature of friendships between women. The movie needs more of that."
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
6/10
"What was slyly titillating in half-hour segments becomes silly, superficial and overwhemingly materialistic when stretched to nearly 2 1/2 hours. Bigger doesn't always mean better."
SSG Syndicate
