The critics this time were wayyyyy overrated - I think people will love this movie even if they don't love the show - but people who love Sex and the City will fall in love with this movie. I too thought it was a great episode-like format and I was laughing non-stop! Meh, maybe it was a tad politically incorrect in some places - who cares??? it was hilarious!!! Movies are meant to be fun escapes from reality - this movie definitely was! See it, it's worth the eight dollars (in SC) and definitely great to see after martinis with friends!!!
