No, it doesn't break new ground, but it does know its own ground perfectly. Go to Full Review

... the movie was truly gratifying and fed our SATC appetite, at least until the sequel coming up (can't wait!). Go to Full Review

Like watching 3 episodes of the show. It's fine Go to Full Review
David Walsh World Socialist Web Site 02/13/2021
Sex and the City is both titillating and conformist. For three of the characters at least, conventional love and marriage apparently bring life's challenges to an end. Go to Full Review

Quite possibly the longest film ever made - or at least it feels that way. Go to Full Review

Silke B @Silke1 Nov 13 The WORST: offensive, vulgar, utterly not-funny lines mitigate against my calling them ‘jokes’. Your glowing, ‘top critic’ analysis of junk causes anyone with logic to dismiss your reviews See more Adelena D Sep 19 Honestly, I find Sex and the City to be a terrible show. It portrays women in such a cheap and shallow way, as if their lives revolve only around sex, fashion, and fleeting relationships. Instead of empowering women, it reduces them to stereotypes and normalizes a lifestyle that glorifies excess, promiscuity, and materialism. It reflects a society that has lost its values, where meaningful connections and genuine self-worth are replaced by superficial pleasures and constant indulgence. Shows like this don’t uplift women — they actually undermine them by suggesting that true happiness comes only from chasing men, money, and status. I would never want young girls, or even daughters, growing up thinking that this is what a woman’s life should look like — just parties, drinking, casual sex, and chasing fun. Life should be about dignity, respect, purpose, and building real, meaningful relationships — not the shallow image this show tries to sell. See more Dan B Aug 27 Having been so disappointed with the TV series 'And just like that' I decided to watch this movie again. I was a huge fan of the Sex and the City series and really enjoyed this movie. It had heart, drama and comedy and had the essence of the programme at it's core. I loved the fashion and styling too. Unfortunately the follow up 'And just like that' ripped the heart and soul out of this franchise. Well loved characters died or had their personalities taken away. Big and Samantha Jones were a huge part of the success of Sex and the City, in the movies and TV series. Without them the follow up series felt lost. I enjoyed watching this movie again. The characters and storylines were believable and you liked the characters. It's such a shame that 'And just like that' had none of the flair. See more Isabel T Aug 23 Supieron como arruinar la serie See more Deborah S @extraneouspattern Aug 16 It’s like 4-5 episodes in a row, and I’m here for it. I don’t know how it would be perceived by non-fans. See more Gareth v Aug 15 Dross. This movie leans too heavily on brand-name cameos, flashy wardrobes, and soap-opera level conflicts. The story is lame and the humour is laboured. See more Read all reviews
