Deborah Ross The Spectator No, it doesn't break new ground, but it does know its own ground perfectly. Aug 23, 2018 Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online ... the movie was truly gratifying and fed our SATC appetite, at least until the sequel coming up (can't wait!). Rated: B+ Sep 12, 2017 Full Review Mark Bourne Film.com ...'Yes,' she said. 'It's Star Trek for women.'... Feb 2, 2009 Full Review Rachel Wagner Hallmarkies Podcast Like watching 3 episodes of the show. It's fine Jan 1, 2023 Full Review David Walsh World Socialist Web Site 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. Feb 13, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Quite possibly the longest film ever made - or at least it feels that way. Rated: 4/10 Nov 28, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Dan B 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/27/25 Full Review Isabel T Supieron como arruinar la serie Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/23/25 Full Review Deborah S 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/16/25 Full Review Gareth v 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. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/15/25 Full Review Audience Member What a sad woman. Wasted her whole life misunderstanding how life works and overreacting about men. Patience goes long way as well as common sense which Carrie Bradshaw has none of. Got lucky with the job that made her something but effed up personal life and just wasted it. So stupid. She should have been hitting the self help section heavily the whole time while doing her research on relationships and she missed the whole point that instead of looking on the outside for what’s wrong with the men, just girl, get a self check first. Everything comes from the inside. You are rotten writer that you never even tried to change your perspective and people watch this liner and enjoy and follow and try to act like her and have her life style and people are praising her…. She is the saddest most pathetic woman in NY. What a joke, Carrie bradshaw. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review J.D I I really enjoyed this movie and didn't even notice the 2+ hours go by. I'll happily watch other movies based on these fabulous ladies (and gents). Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/19/25 Full Review Read all reviews
