If you have follwed the series, you will definitely appreciate this movie! Yes, it is flashy, a little corny at times and you kind of want to slap Carrie for not appreciating what she has in Big. BUT....it was a very fun movie to watch with friends. The girls all looked great (except Carrie was scary skinny) and the fashion was fun to watch! This is a must-see for the real SATC fan. If you did not follow the show on HBO, you probably won't like it much....which explains the horrible reviews from grumpy old men. Ha!
