Boy, do I envy you shoegal! You had the kind of celebration I dreamed of. I got together with my girlfriend and my oldest daughter; first disappointment was my inability to coordinate my 2 daughters schedules so they could both go. They each had to work when the other was off, and I wanted to see the movie on opening night! We enjoyed the movie anyway, but when we got together for drinks afterward, I wanted to talk about the movie but my friend hadn't seen my daughter in awhile so they ended up catching up about mutual acquaintances etc. I kept trying to steer the conversation back to SATC, but they are not fans of the same caliber as I am! I really wish I could have visited my cousin, who lives in another state, and seen it with her. SHE loves the series and the movie as much as I do, and I know seeing it with a true fan would have been a much more satisfying evening. Having said that, I must say that even if I'd gone to the movie alone, it was an incredible experience, and one I'd be eager to repeat if and when there's a sequel.

May Have Hurt My Marriage, 3 June 2008
Author: jpatrick1967 from United States
I will preface this comment by saying that my wife and I have been going through some rough patches in our marriage. So needless to say, we needed a night out with just each other. So we decided on dinner and a movie. The dinner was very nice. We had a great time and appeared to be headed toward a very "exciting" finish.
With that said...guys, DO NOT TAKE YOU WIFE OR GIRLFRIEND TO THIS MOVIE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO ARGUE!!! My wife was a huge fan of the series and I was only an occasional watcher. I really didn't follow it so I wasn't 100% familiar with all of the characters and recurring plot lines. So I just figured it would be a funny, romantic movie to go to and also to appease my wife...she isn't a big Indian Jones fan.
20 minutes into this piece of garbage, I realized that this might have been a mistake...although you wouldn't have guessed it by my wife's reaction...she seemed to be thoroughly enjoying it. Even to the point of laughing...even though a lot of it seemed forced...at some of the worse jokes ever put on film. Seriously, the jokes in this film made Police Academy 6 seem like a Woody Allen movie.
But the worst was yet to come. After almost 2 1/2 hours of watching four, emotionally and mostly physically UNattractive 40 somethings bitch about men and try on clothes that should not be purchased by anyone during our current state of economy, I had to face the inevitability of actually talking to my wife about this movie on our drive home.
So now I had two choices: lie to her and tell her what a good movie it was...this would have made the movie drag on even further for me. Or, tell her the truth and hope that the conversation would stop there.
Well, I chose the latter...and guess what...the conversation did NOT stop there.
Apparently, men are not allowed to tell women that the characters in this farce are devoid of any heart, incapable of real love, and are just spoiled bratty wenches. And that any woman who watched this and thinks that their life can end up like this is in for a sad, demoralizing surprise.
Needless to say, I ended up sleeping on the pull out bed that night.
Men, please do yourself a favor...stay away from this piece a crap.

[edit] Plot
Set four years after the events of "An American Girl in Paris, Part Deux", the film begins with Carrie and Big viewing apartments with the intention of moving in together. Carrie falls in love with a penthouse suite, well outside their original price range, but Big immediately agrees to pay for. However, Carrie experiences doubts over the sensibility of this arrangement, explaining that they are not married, and as such she would have no legal rights to their home in the event of a separation. Quelling her worry, Big suggests that they get married.
Miranda is finding balancing her home, work and social lives ever more difficult, and confesses that she hasn?t slept with Steve for six months. She is devastated when Steve reveals he has slept with another woman, and immediately separates from him, moving out of the family home in Brooklyn and back to Manhattan. Samantha has moved to L.A. with Smith, who has a successful television career, but she is finding it difficult to take time for herself. She is traveling frequently between L.A. and New York, and grappling with her persistent desire for sex with other men, particularly their next door neighbor.
Carrie's wedding plans escalate into such a lavish event that Big begins to experience doubts. He is also reminded of his two failed marriages. After an argument with Steve at the rehearsal dinner, Miranda tells Big bluntly that he and Carrie are crazy to be getting married. On the day of the ceremony, he decides he cannot go through with it. He changes his mind and returns to the venue (the New York Public Library) in time to catch Carrie as she leaves, but she has already been left devastated. She and the girls take the honeymoon that Carrie had booked to Mexico, where they de-stress and collect themselves.
On her return to New York, Carrie hires an assistant, Louise, to help her move back into her old apartment and manage her administration. Charlotte is delighted to learn she is pregnant, although for several months is concerned that something might happen to the baby, as her life with Harry and their adopted daughter Lily seems to be perfect. After reflecting on an argument she has with Carrie, Miranda agrees to attend couples counseling with Steve, and they are eventually able to reconcile. Samantha begins overeating to keep her from cheating on Smith, but eventually realizes that their relationship is simply not working, and that she needs to put herself first. The two break up, and she moves back to New York.
A surprise encounter with Big leaves Charlotte so furious she goes into labor. Big delivers her to the hospital, and waits until the baby, Rose, is born, hoping to see Carrie. Harry passes on the message that he would like her to call him, and that he has written to her frequently, but never received a reply. Carrie searches her correspondence, before realizing that Louise has kept his emails password protected from her, after she earlier announced she wished to sever all communication with him. She finds that he has sent her dozens of letters copied from a book she showed him in the weeks before their wedding, "Love Letters of Great Men", culminating with one of his own, telling her he is sorry and will always love her.
One hour before the locks are due to be changed on their shared apartment, Carrie travels to the home Big had bought for them to collect a pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes she had left there. She finds Big in the walk in closet he had built for her, and the moment she sees him, her anger at his betrayal dissipates. She runs into his arms and they share a passionate kiss. After spending the final hour in their apartment together, talking and apologizing to one another, Big proposes to Carrie properly, using one of her shoes in place of a ring. They later marry alone, in a simple wedding in New York City Hall, followed by a get-together at a local diner with friends. The movie ends with the four girls around a table in a restaurant celebrating Samantha's fiftieth birthday, and making a toast to the next fifty. Carrie ends the movie commenting that love is the best label of all.

[edit] Production
[edit] Development
Promotional picture of the characters from Sex and the City: The Movie. Chris Noth (John 'Mr. Big' James Preston, left) and Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie Bradshaw, right).At the end of Sex and the City's run in February 2004, there were indications of a movie being considered following the series. HBO announced that Michael Patrick King was working on a possible script for the movie which he would direct.[2] However, later that year, Kim Cattrall declined to work on the project citing reasons that the script and the start date were overly prolonged and she decided to take other offers at hand.[3] Other reports indicated that Cattrall requested script approval due to delay in the film and also requested that she should receive a salary on par with Parker[citation needed]. As a result, the immediate follow-up idea for the movie were dropped.
It was in mid-2007 that the plans for making the movie were announced again. This reportedly resulted after Cattrall's conditions being accepted along with a future HBO series.[4] However, in May 2007 the project was halted after HBO decided it was no longer in a position to finance the movie on its own. The project was pitched within the Time Warner family (owners of HBO) and was picked by sister concern New Line Cinema.[5]
[edit] Filming
The film was prominently shot in New York between September-December 2007.[6][7] The locations included a number of places around Manhattan and a certain portion was shot in Steiner Studios and Silvercup Studios. The shooting was continuously interrupted by paparazzis and onlookers with the security and police authorities employed in order to control the crowd.[8] Efforts were taken in order to keep the plot of the film in secrecy, including shooting multiple endings.[9] As a defense strategy, scenes shot in public or in presence of number of extras were termed by Michael Patrick King and the main cast as "dream sequences". [5]
[edit] Release
[edit] Premiere
The film's international premiere took place on Monday, May 12 2008 at Odeon West End in London's Leicester Square to the audience of 1700.[10] It was next premiered at Sony Center at Postsdamer Platz in Berlin on May 15.[11] The film had its New York City premiere at Radio City Music Hall on Tuesday, May 27, 2008.[12]
[edit] Reaction
[edit] Box office performance
The film has so far experienced great commercial success, making $26.93 million domestically on its opening day. On its Saturday showing, the gross total was down roughly 30%, but its three-day opening weekend total was still an impressive $56,848,056 - a total that makes it the biggest opening ever for a romantic comedy as well as the best debut ever for an R-rated comedy. This is also the biggest opening box office for a movie with a female lead cast.[13] Overseas, the film has grossed $37,214,577 in it's first week of release, bringing the worldwide total to $94,062,633. As of June 4, 2008, the film has grossed a worldwide total of $110,722,083.[14]
[edit] Critical reception
The film received mixed reviews from critics. As of May 30, 2008, the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported that 54% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 121 reviews ? with the consensus that "Sex and the City loses steam in the transition to the big screen, but will still thrill fans of the show."[15] Metacritic reported the film had an average score of 54 out of 100, based on 35 reviews.[16] The movie received an average score of 65.9% from 60 film critics according to Movie Tab. [17] It has a 4.8 score from 11,651 voters on the IMDB as of June 3, 2008.
Brian Lowry of Variety said the film "..feels a trifle half-hearted",[18] while Carina Chocano of the Los Angeles Times stated "[the film] tackles weighty issues with grace but is still very funny". She praised Michael Patrick King's work saying very few movies "are willing to go to such dark places while remaining a comedy in the Shakespearean sense".[19] Colin Bertram of the New York Daily News dubbed the film a "great reunion", and was happy with the return of "The 'Oh, my God, they did not just do that!' moments, the nudity, the swearing, the unabashed love of human frailty and downright wackiness".[20] The Chicago Tribune's Jessica Reeves described it as "Witty, effervescent and unexpectedly thoughtful."[21] Michael Rechtshaffen at The Hollywood Reporter praised the performances of the four leading ladies and said the film kept the essence of the series, but resembled a super-sized episode.[22]
Manohla Dargis of The New York Times found the film "a vulgar, shrill, deeply shallow ? and, at 2 hours and 22 turgid minutes, overlong ? addendum to a show", [23] while The Daily Telegraph's Sukhdev Sandhu panned the film saying "[the ladies] have become frozen, Spice Girls-style types - angsty, neurotic, predatory, princess - rather than individuals who might evolve or surprise us".[24] Rick Groen of The Globe and Mail agreed, adding that he found the blatant product placement to be disconcerting. He gave the film zero stars out of four.[25]
