I did not really enjoy the movie - but my husband and kids loved it. I think it is a little too loud and scary for younger children. It had a lot of action - but just was not my cup of tea.
I have never watched the series on tv - but now I wish I had. The movie was great. All the gals were funny and anyone who has a great group of girlfriends can relate to the things each one is going through. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone - regardless of watching the series.
