If you have not followed, cherished or watched the last 6 seasons of Sex In The City, stop here and look for another movie to rent. This movie is for die hard fans only. It follows a year in the lives of these four infamous characters. It's like closure. All the loose ends are tied up and although the ends are not necessarily tied nicely or cleanly, there is a certain satisfaction knowing how "it" ends; or should I say how Mr. Big and Carrie end. It's only a lackluster movie insofar as it stands alone. Without the background from the series the movie falls flat and almost offensively portray worldly women as having a passion for shoes and shopping. There are some "real" moments where the characters express their inner-selves, but only a few. It could have been edited and tightened up so as not to run for 2 and 1/2 hours and some of the "comedy" is what you would expect in a Seth Rogan film. I liked it because I was a fan of the show and lived vicariously through it. NOT a movie I would expect any heterosexual men to sit through. A potential fun fan gathering with plenty of Cosmos.
PICK: ONLY for serious fans of the series. Does not stand alone as an even mediocre film.
